CRAFTS GALORE ENCORE CHALLENGE - AUGUST - USE A DIGI OR A STAMP


Hi there peeps - well today is my first card for the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge DT - I am so chuffed to have been offered a place on the team and couldn't believe that they had chosen me.  Anyway this month the theme is to use a digi or a stamp and we've been sponsored by My Besties Digi and Rubber Stamps - just click to be directed to her online shop.



Sooo here's my card



Before I go I just thought I'd show you my lovely Copic blob!  I was just finishing off her shoes before I coloured her hair and there it was - a bloomin' great blue blob from me Copic marker!  If I wasn't a lady I would have cursed - yeah!!!  A careful bit of scissor work and I cut the bottom part of another image off, coloured it in (you'll notice I steered clear of the blue!!) and glued it over the blobby bit - just have to find out where the blue Copic is now, 'cos it left my hand rather quickly in the direction of the open window!!

As I mentioned earlier we've been sponsored by Besties Digi and Rubber Stamps which you can also find in her Etsy Store here - just look at the three digi images you can win

You have a whole month to get your entries posted and I'm really hoping that you can find the time to make a card for us to check out.  Pop over to the CGE blog to have a look at what the team has made.

Well that's all from me for now - we had a brilliant holiday and I had some gorgeous cards for my birthday and, when I got back, I had a totally brilliant present from my blog friend Asha in Portugal - she even sent a little something for the furbs to enjoy - yum yum yum!

I'll post a couple of holiday pics for you to have a giggle at later.

Hugs to you all and take care.

Love Sue xxx

  18. Hello Sue, I'm so glad to be joining the CGE DT with you.
    I love the background paper you used. Great colouring too.. good save from the 'blob', I hate it when that happens. Are the dies cut from Centura Pearl? It has such a pretty, delicate sheen to it.
