Good Morning to you all my lovely crafty friends and Happy Saturday!
Gosh, that was a quick week! In fact the last two weeks have flown by too fast and unfortunately my children go back to school on Monday.
Anyway, today is the start of a new A Gem of a Challenge .
This week the lovely Katie has designed a wonderful sketch for you to follow
The prize for the winner will be.....
2 Individual Digi images of the winners choice from PINK GEM DESIGNS (Subject to Availability).
My cute image, papers and fabulous sentiment are all from Pink Gem Designs, I have listed all the links underneath my card.
I used the pre-coloured version of the image, adding some detailing with pencils and a cloudy sky with distress inks. The papers come in a choice of 20 different colours so it was easy for me to match them to the little birds. I added the sentiment to the paper before printing.
I had great fun scrunching up tissue paper to make the blossom!!
