Good morning lovely friends,

Happy Monday.

There is a new challenge starting to day at 

My Besties UK
and it is

Anything Goes and Use the Sketch

All the details can be found
HERE

There are gorgeous digi's on offer for the lucky winner by 

Sherri Baldy Designs

For my card today I have used one of Sherri's lovely digi's

Meet Fluffy Frannie
available from Sherri's wonderful store

Sherri Baldy Art on Etsy

I have followed the sketch and used it to design a little 'al fresco' scene for Frannie to sit in and enjoy her drink.

I have used my Silhouette Portrait to cut Frannie out and coloured her with Copics.

I have then sat her in the scene made with embossed Kraft card and a die cut lattice.

Finally I added some hand punched flowers and a sentiment.

and here we are fabulous Fluffy Frannie, sat in the sunshine enjoying a drink and some peace and quiet!...

Special Lady...

Good morning everyone...

We have a new challenge starting today at 

In The Pink

and it is

Special Lady

Our generous sponsor this time is 

Dies to Die For

with a £10 voucher for the lucky winner

For todays card I used the gorgeous Tiddly Inks Digi

Ellie Says Be Happy

 I have coloured this sweetie with Copics and created a little scene for her to stand in - I enjoyed this - it involved a rubber mallet and an embossing folder!

Briefly, you pop your background card inside the embossing folder and hit the folder with a rubber mallet just in the area you would like the embossed image to show on the card.

It took me a few attempts to get the right effect but I rather like it - I like how the pattern fades out and is a random border for the coloured image.

Anyways, once I was happy with it I coloured the background with a Distress Ink Pad and added a little die cut pathway and frame.

Finally I used a couple of sentiments from a set by Whimsy Stamps.

...and here we are, lovely Ellie Says Be Happy - well, I'm smilin'...
