"Bling" DU2DS Challenge No.2

Wow its Friday again and time for challenge No.2 at DU2DS Last weeks challenge went brilliantly with lots of fantastic entries. This weeks challenge is "Bling" this is perfect for me as I love glitter. My son and partner are forever saying "Do you know you have glitter on your face?" LOL. Inky fingers and glittered face, its all part of being a crafter. On to my card I love this sweet image that is part of a digi stamp set from Grab a Doodle Do and she is called Lizzie. I coloured her with distress inks and cut her out using my Bug and Nesties. I used stickles glitter on her wings and wand as well as her shoes.

I use card stock from the Paper Mill and the DP is Laura Ashley Flowers are Prima, Red ribbon, gems and pearls are from my stash. I got the cute little pearl star from Sparklybits that i put on Lizzies wand. I die cut the name Jo on my bug as my son wanted to give this card to his girlfriend. I stickles that also ;0) Hope she likes glitter .... Hope you can join us for this weeks challenge

Sketch Saturday Sketch 45 My Easter Bunny

Over on Sketch Saturdays Blog the sketch this week has been provided by Tracie it's a lovely simple sketch, just what I like lol. I needed an Easter card so decided to theme this card for that purpose. I wanted a cute bunny but did not have a stamp so I drew it by hand, not bad for a beginner hey? I coloured it with my Whispers Markers (I now wish I had watercoloured instead!) I'm not too sure what make the DP is all I know that It is called Plaid. I used a clear sakura to make the bunnies nose have an embossed feel. I used a Fiskars punch for the scalloped ribbon and flowers and pearls are from stash.

Why not pop over to Sketch Saturday and check out the super DT's creations
