Truly Scrumptious


Wow 2 posts in one day, i saw the sketch on the truly scrumptious challenge blog and i just had to have a go at it, i really like the way this one has turned out. used papers from the red hot capsule by papermania although i was a little disappointed cause they are not red their more pink, but nice all the same. Image is whiff of joy musing Melinda, she's coloured with distress inks this was my first real go at using these I'll keep practicing but i really did enjoy using them.

well that should be it for today cant see me getting another done

hiya again I've warmed up a bit now, this card is for 2 challenges first i followed the sketch at totally gujuss another fab one, i did have to change the circle for a square because the image was too big for my nesties. there are so many sketches out there right now. I'm also entering this into one stop craft challenge the theme over there is a night at the movies, well this had me stumped for a good hour then i remembered this stamp i bought years ago and i thought it was perfect there is no bigger movie icon than Marylin Monroe is there?
