Hello dahhhhling!

Hello everyone - is your weekend going well?  The weather has turned very cold in Britian after a lovely sunny warm week - boo!!  Still, we are going to brave it tday and go for our weekly long walk along the South coast of England -  it will be bbbrrracing!!!


Did you see how many monochromatic challenges there were this week?!!  Yeah, I know we had one for Ladybug Crafts Ink too (and there's still time to join in!)!  Isn't it funny how so many challenge blogs chose it for their theme in the same week?!  Freaky.  I made another one as I enjoyed making my Totally Ladybug Tuesday card so much (you can see it here)...

 

 

I've been meaning to use one of those Bugaboo digis for aaaaages!  They are so sweet and really funny too!!  This one is Scarlett in Cape Dress and I glittered up her dress with Glamour Dust after first colouring it in with shades of grey to give it depth.

I used Bazzill Bling for the card base and matting - it's got a lovely shimmer to it which you can't see well in the photo.  I wrapped a piece of cream crochet lace around the middle (I bought mine from Ladybug Crafts Ink here) and then a black satin ribbon around that for a luxurious touch - I really liked how this came out!  Those gorgeous papers are from the Echo Park Be Mine paper pack (from Quixotic Paperie here).

 I made this card for this week's Catch the Bug monochromatic challenge, Totally Stampalicious (I won 2nd prize last week - woo hoo!) for paper piercing, the Scrapbook Sisters Card challenge for anything goes and I used this month's Sketch For You To Try...

Well, off to get ready for our walk.  Now where's my scarf...  Have a lovely day!
