Here's my DT card.

I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil and coloured it with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers.  The papers are from Nitwits, the dies are a mix of Spellbinders, Memory Box and Mariannes and the flowers are from WOC.

I'd like to enter this card into the present challenge over on Mariannes Design Diva's where their theme is Pearls & Swirls.

Cheery Lynn Challenge

It seems like ages ago since I've made a card for a challenge, so thought I'd enter this one into Cheery Lynns present challenge, which is 'Shades of Purple'.  I very rarely make a card with a coloured image, so this one is a little bit of a change for me.  The sentiment is from a set of stamps I bought in Florida last year, I used a spellbinders die to cut it out and mount,  I coloured the edges with Distress Ink and added a little bit of glitter, well you just have to don't you...... lol.  The butterflys and borders were cut with Cheery Lynn dies.

CSAYL - Glitter!

Time to get sparkly over on Christmas Stamping All Year Long for this weeks challenge.  Yes, we want to see lots of glitter and your projects for this one.

Our sponsor this week is Bunny Zoe's Crafts with a prize of a £10 gift voucher to spend in their online store.

Here's my DT project.

What a carry on I had trying to get a decent picture of this bauble.

Why not come along and join us, and remember only Christmas projects for this one.
