TOTALLY GORJUSS GDT CARD - CHALLENGE 21 - 'SWEET!'

Hi bloggers!This week's theme over on Totally Gorjuss is 'Sweet'.You can interpret this as you wish :)

I decided to go with a 'sweet' image and sentiment including the word 'sweet' for my DT card. I've not used this High Hopes image for a while so thought it was the perfect opportunity to ink her up. I've also used PM CCSR The Big One stack paper's and paper pieced her dress to match.Love this technique especially if you cant find the right shade in your colouring selection.Sentiment was from funkykits and ofcourse my famous handstitching lol.

There's a selection of paper's on offer this week for one lucky winner, so why don't you dig out something 'sweet' and make a card :)

The Dt have made some gorgeous creations to inspire you, click HERE to check them out!

MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED...

...RETAIL THERAPY.

I was looking through the challenges to see if any took my fancy and I saw Papertake weekly's interesting sketch and Stamp Somethings 'Girly' theme so I thought I'd combine the two. I've had this mo manning stamp a while now and thought it was about time it saw ink! Once I'd nearly finished the card I started to look for an appropriate sentiment and I think this one fits the bill perfectly don't you?lol

The paper's are MME ,sentiment is from the Retail Therapy love clare curd clear stamp set,brad's are papermania,ribbon is from stash and ofcourse a little of my handstitching to finish :)

Thanks for looking and for any comments you take the time to leave

Hi!Hope you're all enjoying your sunday?
Well how could I not enter this week's ONE STOP CRAFT CHALLENGE which is 'sew simple' when all my card's feature handstitching somewhere lol.
I was looking through my humungous paper stash(I'm a paper addict!!!lol)and came across this dcwv paper and immediately knew which image I wanted to use with it.I have a tin of coloured up images so this card was really quick to make. The sentiment is craftwork cards,I've added some PM adhesive pearls and ofcourse handstitched a border :)
