Whiff of Joy Guest Designer Call
This week on Whiff of Joy there is a fabulous sketch by Katharina to follow. But that's not all, they are looking for a guest designer for a couple of months. I know that I don't stand a chance because there is sooooo many talented crafters out there, but hey I can dream can't I.
I took out my very favourite papers for this occasion which are DCWV Blossoms & Butterflies stack. I know they are from last year, but I can't bear to use them, I just like to look at them, lol.
The image is Melinda Hugging Heart Cushion and I've coloured her in using my promarker pens.
The flowers I made myself, including the roses (see previous post for link on tutorial).
The ribbon and heart charm are from my stash.
TFL and hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

I didn't have black gems to go with this, so I got 3 green ones and embossed them with black sparkle powder.
The button I made myself, the sentiment is from my pc and the ribbon is from my stash.

Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge 37
My friend has asked me to make a couple of cards for her sons' birthday for next week, so this is one of them. I'm not overly keen on this as it's got no flowers and ribbons but I don't think a thirteen year old boy would appreciate it, lol.
The image I can't remember who it is as I got this in blog candy which I won a few months ago. I've coloured in John Doe, lol, with promarker pens and did the highlights with my white inkssentials pen.
The gems are from my stash and the sentiment is from my pc.
