A double posting from me....

Hi guy's,

Fistly I'd like to say SORRY to my teamies on 2 of my DT team mates,

I forgot to post anything on Friday last week. 

I went away for the weekend on a craft retreat in wales and in my excitement forgot

all about my blog.

So I'm really sorry girls and here are my cards for this week.

First up if my dt card for Fussy & Fancy the challenge this week is "Circles"

For my card I have used "chasing Butterflies" from Saturated Canary, the images were

coloured with copics..I simply cut the image using different sized nesties.

Next up is my DT card for Polkadoodles.

For this card I have used the stamp from the PPC5, coloured it with copics and clear embossed 

the whole image 4 times then popped it into the freezer for a few hours, then when I took it out

I bent the image to give a cracked glass look.

The challenge over a Polkadoodles this week is Monocramatic (shades of 1 colour)

Thanks for stopping by today

Good morning guy's I hope your all well today,

with a bow so she can be used all year round too.

The letters have been covered with Fran-tage (love this stuff)

and the image has been coloured with copics, you can get the lush ribbon and the stamp here.
