This card used a great image from Laby Bug Crafts
She is coloured using my promarkers
Then cut out using my spellbinder dies in my ebosser
I then used Brilliance Inks to soften the edges
The dotty paper is a left over from a kanban kit I brought ages age
The flower were cut using my Britannia dies in the ebosser out of oddments of white card
left over from cutting the image out
I then used the Brilliance ink pad to colour them and added faux stitching 
 finally putting them together with a brad
The ribbon is recycled it came wrapped around my daughters pyjamas at Christmas
Sentiment was done in word and printed out

This card is for the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown - say it with flowers
Friday Sketch Challenge - Sketch I followed
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Pixie Snippet Playground - Use the snippets

Thanks for looking - think I may have found a little of my missing mojo!

Great card Nicky! I adore the image and the stitching on the flowers is a great touch - picks up the ribbon, but I guess you already planned that anyhow!

Lovely to see you in the Playground!

Hi Nicky, saw your pretty card highlighted at the Playground and popped over to get a closer look. That is a wonderful layout, with the long rectangle and the 2 squares with the white 'grout' between. Am loving the doggy image though. So very cute. Hope all has been well, sorry to have been MIA. Will try to do better. Hugs & TFS

I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
