And this is my take on the challenge..

The sentiment was a freebie from the site a while ago and went perfect with this image. I used a MS punch for the hearts and paper pieced the bun case.

The icing I used is tulip crystals dimensional fabric paint...I know fabric...but hey it works on card too, so why not!

It's Saturday and it's challenge time over at Crafy Emmas Store and it's challenge #12

THINK PINK

Made this great baby girl card - and paper pieced it - so wow what a quick card. Punched out a tag added some wording using doodlebug stickers added some ribbon - has tiny feet on - though hard to see...and hey presto.

Love this giraffe - beauty about paper piecing is you can make it a boy or a girl...yes I know it has a tie on....but it's a girlie tie...
So pop over to CES - join in the fun - and see all the other fantastic creation by the DT.

Fabby Friday

Fabby Friday is here again - Great....typical - weather in UK set to be terrible!.....
Today's card is a great digi image from Meljens Designs made this for the challenge over at Crafty Creations - the theme is "Childs Play", and as the prize is Meljens Designs - thought I would make a card using one of those images.
Love this Giraffe, stickled his spots as this seemed to go well with the papers I had chosen, and just added a spotty ribbon. Did not feel it needed anymore - sometimes "less is best"...
Thanks for popping by
Have a great weekend
Sarah
