Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge #3 - A bit late!

Sorry we are a day late with the Challenge this week, but rest assured it is worth the wait. The Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe this week is to use Michele's fab sketch. Check it out here. It's so versatile & adaptable, I will be using it loads! The other ingredients to the recipe this week are to include felt & a cat/cats in your creation.

This Diane Duda stamp from Sugar Nellie hadn't seen ink for quite some time & is purrfect for the job! She's coloured with distress inks. I have my wonderfully talented blogging buddy, Dena, to thank for the inspiration for this one. She ever so kindly sent me the DPs & the felt scroll I've used. Thanks Bud! The lovely Sprytebyrd also provided the Love sentiment in an Inkadinkado Hearts set, I was lucky enough to win on her blog. The flowers were mostly created with my retro punches, but the leaves came from the fabulous Bizzy Bec.

Back to the challenge this week. My fellow DT colleagues obviously had fun with this sketch too. Check out their fantastic cards here. Furthermore look at these adorable Halloween digi images. They are the prize at C4E this week. What further incentive do you need to join in the fun?!!

I look forward to seeing what you make. Thanks for looking.

Big Hugs to You All!

Sugar Bowl - Challenge 13, Lilian's Sketch

How do I always manage to be so last minute with all the fantastic Sugar Bowl challenges when I have two weeks? So many challenges, so little time! Anyway, I have used Believe from the new Diane Duda range. she is my fave & so easy to colour, (I like that in a stamp!). I think the eyes on these look quite wierd in the drawings, but once they are coloured they are really quite beguiling. I've used K&Co DPs & the backround paper is the stuff you use to wrap brown paper packages, tied up with string, these are a few of my fav... Sorry lost myself for a moment there, LOL! Hope this is what is meant by kraft. I concertinaed (is that how you spell it?) the band across the middle to add a bit more interest & texture.

Hope everyone is coping with the weather. Those of you who live outside of the UK would probably think it's no big deal. But it has been stifling today & the air con in our office is useless! I thought I was going to melt! Don't get me wrong, I love the sun, but it does not need to be this hot! Anyway, I think I will chill with a bit of cardmaking!

Regards,
