Truly Scrumptious Challenge 42.....

Morning Everyone,
Hope your all well....I'm back on the painkillers for my back and waiting for physio, the doctor said it will be a few weeks before it should start to get back to normal,but it's certainly easier so I'm hoping to do a bit more crafting....Today sees the start of challenge 42 over at Truly Scrumptious and we have a fab sketch for you to follow with the optional extra of snowflakes....

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is the lovely Christine Dark; Sketching Stamper. Christine is an incredibly talented artist and she is offering the winner six digi images of their choice.



Here's my card I wanted to have an old feel to it so I've used some papers from GCD called Paris Nights they are lovely, the ones I've used are flocked although the photo is not brilliant I'll see if I can take some better ones



The Tilda image was from a friend I coloured her with polychromos pencils blended with sansador,then cut out with my nesties and then I inked around the edge with antique linen distress ink...The red card,ribbon and small pearls around the outside are from my stash.....


The snowflakes are cut with a Marianne D die then layered together with a pearl brad through the middle...the flowers are all from Mulberry Crafts I've glimmer misted then glamour dusted them...and the sentiment is a cat's life press which I got from Crafty Emma's store fab store and fantastic delivery....Off now to try and do a couple of jobs round the house then I'm going to try and make a card...Please popover to the challenge check out my fellow teamies fabulous cards and join in with us....Take care...
