A Trio of Challenges.

Good morning. I do hope you've grabbed a coffee and are sitting comfortably - this is a long one!! I have 3 challenge cards to share today. 

First up is the Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge. This is the card I mentioned earlier in the week - the one I made using scraps I was given, with the challenge to make something from them. I think getting 2 cards out of them was doing quite well.. now where's my prize?? LOL. 

I love these Cosmo papers.


Papers: Cosmo Cricket "Togetherness"
Card: PM Kraft
Stamps: Seasons of Love-Tags
Distress ink - Brushed Cordoroy
Sewing Machine & white thread

Do pop over to the blog to see the sketch and what my wonderful teamies have created. 

******************
Next up is my guest designer card for Basic Grey Challenges. The theme this fortnight is Flower Power and the prize up for grabs is a store voucher from Simon Says Stamp. 


I had totally forgotten how much I loved these papers. I matted them on pink cardstock and machine stitched them.

Papers: Basic Grey - Stella Ruby
Card - Bazzil
Image: Magnolia Tilda
Flowers & Lace: Wild Orchid Crafts


 Copics used:
E00, 02, 21, 42, 43, 44, 50, 51, 53, 57 - R81, 83, 85 - G82, 85

**************

Last but by no means least - CES Challenges. This week our theme is Angels & Fairies. 


I received this stamp from the guys over at Wild Rose Studios a while back and have only just now got to ink her up. I coloured her using copic markers and added a little Frosted Lace stickles to her wings. 

My papers are, again, Basic Grey but this time they are Perhaps - another collection I'd forgotten about. An oldie but a goodie!! I machine stitched them all down and added some white lace & flowers to embellish. 


Copics used - 
E00, 02, 18, 21, 51 - RV91, 93, 95, 97 - BG0000, 10, 11 - YR21, 31 - G82, 85

Have a great Saturday and I will be back tomorrow with my Grand Calibur/Waltzing Mouse party dance!

Goodness me Sandie - you've been busy!!! Three fabulous cards. I do like the Waltzing Mouse stamps, I really should get some once I'm off my 'stash fast'. Stunning BG card, gorgeous Tilda and your papers and all your details are scrumptious.
The same applies for your CES card - scrummy papers and details and such a cute little fairy.
