Best Friends ....

I love Saturday mornings, its great to get up and not rush out to work isn't it? I'm making the most of a lazy day today, in fact its almost lunchtime and I'm still in my pjs lol. Hubby is going to the football today so I'm planning on an afternoon in my craft room but before I go here's my card for today. Isn't this image adorable? Its one of the gorgeous new images from Michelle Perkett, Michelle has been on a roll lately with some stunning new digital stamps so pop over to Michelle's Etsy Store and have a look round :-)

I coloured the image with my trusty promarkers and added a little spiced marmalade distress ink around the edge. The bps are from DCWV, ribbon as usual is from the fabby Crafty Ribbons. I punched a scrap of card with an EK success scalloped punch and used it to make a little concertina flower which has a little jewelled brad in the centre.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafts and me: Yellow

Crazy Challenge: Sweet teens

Delightful challenges: flowers

Oh La La: Mother's Day or special friend

Partytime Tuesday: anything goes with a handmade flower

You still have time to enter this weeks challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio, the theme is Make your flowers bloom so if you haven't got one of Michelle's gorgeous images (why not?? lol) then pop over to her group on PCP and grab one of the fab freebies and join in this weeks challenge ... you've got to be in it to win it lol.

Rosie is in the Spotlight this week

Hi folks, just a quick post today as I'm having one of 'those' weeks again with gremlins in the house!! This time there is a mysterious leak in the kitchen, hopefully from the washer as I'd hate to think its from under the floor so we're spending the morning investigating. Before my mop and wellie duties start again though, I have a card to share

This week's spotlight image at Michelle Perkett Studio is the lovely Rosie, I adore all Michelle's digistamps but Rosie is a special favourite as she was one of the very first of Michelle's images to arrive in my collection. This week you can find her in Michelle's Etsy Store with 20% off :-)

I've coloured Rosie with promarkers and embossed her wings with some clear sparkle EP. The green gingham paper is from my stash, the  other bps are from DCWV Floral stack, punched with a MS punch and distressed. The ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and little pink buttons from the Stampman.

I'm entering Rosie in the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge: Flowers

Delicious Doodles: Spots and/or Stripes

Do you stack up: patterned paper 

Some odd girl: Scallops galore

Top Tip Tuesday: Fabulous Flowers

Tuesday Throwdown: Distressing
