Anything but Square…

Hello Friends! Well, my first post for Glitter n Sparkle today! The theme is ‘Anything but Square’, so of course I did a circular card! Unfortunately I don’t have a circular die as big as I wanted, so I hunted around the house and discovered that our breakfast bowls were the right size, so did a bit of old fashioned tracing and cutting!!

 

The image I have used is from one of our sponsors CdeeDesigns and is called ‘Rebecca’. This is the first time I have used a digi stamp – very different from traditional stamps but something I could get used to!

 

 

 

I have coloured the image with Promarkers, after much trial and error!

 

I would like to enter the following challenges please:

My Heart Pieces – As Beautiful as a Ribbon

Fetch a Sketch – Challenge 36

Mojo Monday – Circles or Squares

Victorine Stamps – Challenge #46 (Button, bow and colouring)

That Craft Place – Tic Tac Toe (Dies, border and buttons)

 

Thank you for taking a look, and please stop by Glitter n Sparkle and have a look at what the rest of the DT have created, and of course enter the challenge!

Exciting news!

Hello everyone! Well, some exciting news today, in the midst of my horrible week!! I have been asked to joing the Design Team over at Glitter n Sparkle!! I am really excited as they use digi images for all their challenges, along with a theme, and I've never used a digi stamp before, so looking forward to seeing what I can come up with!

I hope you can join us at both challenges - look forward to seeing your challenge entries!
