Your Next Stamp Challenge 8 ......

There is a new challenge for you today at Your Next Stamp Challenges, the theme for challenge 8 has been set by owner Karen.    Karen would love to see "SPARKLE"!!!

I have used my favourite Your Next Stamp "Cup Cake Fhiona", she is such a sweetie, included in the set are 6 sentiment stamps, making the set excellent value  as the sentiments can be used with other stamps too!!!

As usual I have coloured Fhiona with my promarkers, and I have added lots of  sparkle (my favourite)  using copic spica pens, glamour dust, stickles stardust glitter glue and glossy accents!!  Well a girl can never have too much sparkle!!!  The papers are MME Pretty Please, which are a freebie on this months Cardmaking & Papercrafts magzine (UK), DCWV c/s, nesties, MS doillie punch, pearls, ribbon with a sparkly edge.      

A close up of some of the Sparkle, copic spica for her top, glossy accents shoes & hair band, glamour dust for the icing on her cake!!

Combined Challenges .....

I have had alot of fun making this card and for the first time I have combined 6 challenges,

Just Magnolia week 20 "button & bows" I have used Tilda in Sprng Rain, buttons & ribbon.

Passion for Promarkers week 15 "girly & glitttery", this weeks sponsor is The Secret Crafter they have 6 promarkers of your choice on offer!! My colours are warm grey 1-5, black, blossom, rose pink.

Sketch & Stash week 18, I have used the sketch provided to make my card and my new nesties.

A Spoonful of Sugar challenge 67 "distressing" sponsored this week by Digital Delights.

Creative Card Crew challenge 26 "pink, black & white" colours to be used, sponsored by Whimsey Stamps.

Cupcake Craft Challenges challenge 55 a recipie, 3 buttons, 2 papers, 1 ribbon, this week is sponsored by Elaine at Quixotic Cards £10 voucher for her on-line store. I have shopped here before and there are some gorgeous products and I have always had excellent service!!

So thats quite a few challenges here!! I have used Tilda coloured with promarkers, glossy accents for the puddle, paper is BG sultry & DCWV card stock, it was quite a novelty to make only 2 papers work for the challenge, but as distressing was one of the challenges I used a distressing tool around the pannel and a brown ink pad and chalks to give the edges and flowers a distressed look. I have used stickles stardust around the edge of the pink frame, cut with nesties, ribbon, gems, buttons, retro flower punch.

I thought Tilda in Spring Rain is just perfect for the weather at the moment, we have been lucky today as we have had a lovely day at York with friends and the weather stayed dry, alothough its pouring down again now!!

Thanks for stopping by,
