Make it Cute at A gem of a Challenge


Good Morning everyone and Happy Saturday to you.
I do love these long weekends but I find it hard to keep track of what day it is!

Anyway, today is the start of a new A Gem of a Challenge  
The theme this week chosen by the lovely Lyndsey is a nice fun one for you

Make it Cute!

The prize for the winner will be.....
2 Individual Digi images of the winners choice from PINK GEM DESIGNS (Subject to Availability).

I decided to colour up cute Denny with Watering Can. I think Denny may be a boy's name but for some reason I wanted to make a green and pink card so in this instance Denny is a girl dragon!
I made a centre step card, I love making these. As you will see I have kept my embellishments to a minimum because I didn't want to cover up my pretty papers.


Items Used
Digi stamp - Pink Gem Designs  Denny with Watering Can. coloured with Promarkers
Digi Sentiment - Pink Gem Designs - Sunshine and Smiles
Papers - Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Meadow
Ribbon, twine and button from stash
Distress ink - tumbled glass (for edges of image)

If you pop over to the Pink Gem Challenge blog you will see the gorgeous cute creations make by the rest of  Team Pink and also be able to see who were the winners of the last challenge

I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges;
My Craft Spot - Strings and thing
I ♥ Propmarkers - Spring is in the air!
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - Anything but Square
Milk Coffee Stamps  - No Squares Allowed
Crafts 4 eternity - cute as you like
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Right, that's it from me until Monday so I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter.
Bye for now
Hugs
Sue
