A couple of weeks ago I entered Lexi's challenge for the first time and was so surprised when I won the Guest Designer spot! The challenge this time was to use a sentiment and this cute 'Sugar & Spice' was the the one I picked. I thought it went so well with this Penny Black image, and to show the sentiment to its best, I thought it had to be an easel card. I made the roses after watching a few tutorials on UTube, but didn't add all the layers on the smaller one.
I am also entering this card in
Craft Your Passions challenge - Double up in Pink
Make It Monday - Always Anything Goes
Heart Song Inspirations - Use Flowers/Felt
Sentimental Sundays - Fancy Folds
We have just returned from a long weekend in the Lake District, one of my favourite places, the Autumn colours were gorgeous, the first piccy is Rydal Water, the other is Lake Windermere, I always think this is a lovely time of the year - especially if you are lucky with the weather.
Thats it for now, thanks for looking. Hope you all have a good week,
Avril xx
