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!!

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

Hello Sue, I'm so glad to be joining the CGE DT with you.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
