Morning Everyone,
Nearly the weekend hope the weather improves it's awful here again raining really hard and very dark,good job I took the pictures for my first DT cards for our new Sparkle Dreams challenge which starts today earlier in the week...The challenge will run from today until 6pm on the 31st October so plenty of time for you to enter....We have a fab prize for the winner who will be choosen by random org... wish I could enter..lol...The prize has been sponsored by Sparkle Dreams who have lots of gorgeous things in their shop including the new Magnolia Apples and Cherries collection....The stamp is  the new Tilda in the wind/rain....


There will also be a Top 3 choosen by the DT who will get a badge for their sidebar... For our first challenge we have a sketch for you to follow designed by my fellow teamie Wendy....
We also have an OPTIONAL EXTRA OF SPARKLE AND FLOWERS...

I have made two cards for the challenge here is the first....


I have used one of the new Tildas from the Apple and Cherries collection she has been coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador...I have used Magnolia paper and card from my stash all edges have been edged with walnut stain distress ink and then glittered although it doesn't show very well on the pic..all the flowers are from Mulberry crafts the leaves are punched with a McGill punch...The butterly are from a papermania punch and again I've edged and glittered them and put gems down the middle...The sentiment is a Cats life press one from Crafty Emma's Store....
Onto my second card.....



 On this card I've used the beautiful circus horse from the new Magnolia Apples and Cherries collection coloured again with polychromos pencils then cut out with my nesties and layered up....The papers are all Dovecraft pastel basics..I have again edged all of the paper with glitter...The flowers are punched out with woodware punches and then layered up and a pink pearl put in to the middle..The ribbon and sentiment are from my stash....Please popover to the challenge blog and checkout the rest of the DT cards and join in with us....

Mandy these are both gorgeous, love the soft muted colours of Tilda just as much as the bright's of the horse. The flowers are beautiful embellishments.
