Today sees a new challenge over at Dream Valley. We are being sponsored by the fabulous Saturated Canary and the theme is lace and pearls. The DT members have some wonderful cards to inspire you so please head on over there and enter this fabulous challenge.
Before I show you today's card I thought I would share with you the crafty stash I purchased at the NEC.
I thought I would make my journey worthwhile seen as at one point didn't think we would make it. Russ decided that he would top the car up with oil before we left. A mile or so down the motorway smoke was billowing out of the exhaust. We carried on a few miles and it subsided. Our car then started juddering and losing speed whilst in 5th gear. We turned into the hard shoulder and cruised along until we reached a service station so that I could ring the garage for advice. They told us that the problem would be too much oil and it would eventually burn the surplass oil and be fine. All I kept thinking was please let us get to the NEC. Sure enough when we set off the car was fine but we were then faced with delays due to an accident.
We eventually made it and as I said earlier - I made the trip worthwhile. I actually didn't buy anything on my shopping list which was ribbon and embellishments. Never mind.
So, on to my challenge card. I have used the gorgeous Saturated Canary's Parade.
I have coloured the image with a combination of Copic and Pro Markers. The papers are from Nitwit Collections.
The butterfly, clouds and flower die are both Memory Box available from many on-line stores.
I have recently bought the Scor Bug Embosser which I love. No more worries about straight lines using as sewing machine.
The lace and pearls are from my own stash.
I am entering this card into the following challenges
Card Makin Mamas - Spring
Sweet Pea Stampers - Spring Colours
