Just because...

Good afternoon lovely friends,

I hope you are having a good weekend wherever you are.

Just because it's Sunday, just because I adore Tiddly Inks and just because I want to...

here is my 'thinking of you....just because card'!

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges - 

Tiddly Inks - Thinking of You #176

As You Like It - Favourite Occasion and Why

I find that the majority of the cards I make can be used 'just because' you want to send some one card - there does n't need to be a reason.  Some times I just like to send a card to let someone know I am thinking about them and that is by far my favourite sort of card.

Nimble Fingers...

Morning lovely friends,

We have a new challenge starting today at
The Sugar Bowl
and it is Anything Goes (with a Sugar Nellie Image)

The prize for the lucky winner of this month's challenge is four Sugar Nellie Digital Images, and there is a second prize winner of two Sugar Nellie Digital Images from 

Funky Kits

For today's card I have used the gorgeous Sugar Nellie digi
Webb Knitter
available
from
Funky Kits
I coloured this sweetie with Copics and added a touch of Wink of Stella to her wings (it is a shame the camera has n't caught the sparkle because it looks really pretty)!

I used some distress ink around the edge of the image to soften it a little.

I layered the image with a selection of red papers from my stash and added some twine and heart shaped gems.

...and here we are, lovely Webb Knitter...gorgeous is n't she, and rather nimble fingered I think!...

So Cute...

Good morning lovely friends.

We have a new challenge starting today at 

In The Pink

and it is 

So Cute!

The prize for the lucky winner is a $10 voucher from 

Paper Nest Dolls

Well, quite a lot of 'umming and aaarrghing' went on about choosing an image for this challenge!

I have decided that 'cute' is fairly and squarely a subjective thing!

I eventually opted for this sweet image from Whimsy Stamps - Wee Stamp's 'Pixie' from

Dies to Die For

I coloured this cutie with Copics and went for a very CAS design using some ribbon and a 

Whimsy Stamps Sentiment.

...and here we are, a rather cute Pixie...
