Truly Scrumptious Challenge 44...

Morning Everyone,
Sorry I'm late with this but slept in and just had a lovely bacon baguette for breakfast,I could get use to this holiday lark....The weather is still awful today hasn't stopped raining since yesterday morning.... Gun Quay wharf was amazing yesterday so many shops and I think I went into everyone with Katy she just love's to shop,but it kept her happy the only down side was no craft shops or I just didn't sniff them out..lol...Today it's time for another challenge over at Truly Scrumptious ....

For our new challenge we have this sketch for you.....



And our optional extra challenge is 'petals, pearls & pins' - you could use a combination of any or all three.




This week we are delighted to welcome Meljen Designs as our sponsor.

Onto my card,due to use being on holiday I made my DT card a little while ago so didn't get to use one of the gorgeous images from Meljen's Designs.....



The pictures are not the best as the settings had been changed on the camera and I didn't realise...I used tilda with mistletoe coloured with polychromos pencils....cut out with a nestie then inked around the edge with antique linen distress ink....the DP was given to me by a friend and doesn't have a name on....the card and ribbon is from my stash...


The flowers are from Mulberry Crafts I've spritzed them with pearl glimmer mist then dusted with glamour dust....The sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs just cut into two....Well think that's it...Don't know what we are up to today,but I have got my pencils and some images with me so I could do some colouring ready for next week...
