Cupcake craft challenge #154–DT card

**THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello, I’m back again as promised with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  The lovely Jane has set the theme this week and she has chosen “sew mad”, so we would like to see your stitching (either faux or real) – easy peasy right!  I decided to actually try stitching on this card for a change as I always normally do faux stitching with a fine liner, but I didn’t go too mad only a few hand stitched ones!  Here is my card:

I have used an image kindly donated by our sponsor Paper Pretties called ‘tea-time’ and the matching sentiment comes with it too.  I coloured him with my promarkers and I luckily found the cute little chipboard tea-cup in my stash, which was a magazine freebie.  Can you see my little hand stitched cross stitches?  They are either side of the smaller panel lol!  I think they look really cute!!  

As I mentioned our sponsor this week is Paper Pretties and they are offering the winner a gorgeous “give thanks Sophia” stamp.

       

Don’t forget we have our ‘icing on the cupcake’ monthly sponsor too and for August we have 3 as it is our birthday month.  Firstly we have Crafts U Love who are offering a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store, secondly we have Mo’s Digital Pencil who are offering a $10.00 gift code to use in their online store and thirdly we have Sew Sweet who are offering a £10.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store.  So definitely lots of yummy reasons to play along this month.

Stamp with fun #98–DT card

Good morning dear friends and Happy Valentine’s Day.  I hope you all get lots of lovely goodies from your loved ones today, although me and hubby have decided that we’ve been married too long for all that soppy stuff now and are just sending cards this year!!  Of course that doesn’t mean I don’t love him any less, he is so wonderful to me and I’m lucky to have him.  I had a quiet weekend as hubby went away with his friends to watch the rugby, so me and and the kids just chilled and watch TV and films (and I did a little crafting of course). 

I’m here this morning to share with you my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  Our challenge this week is to use the gorgeous sketch provided by Andrea- Emmi41 and here is a picture of the sketch:

and here is my card:

The DT were lucky enough to be given images by our sponsor this week so I chose this super cute image called ‘flutterby’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I went a bit nuts with the pearls but I think they match the pearl brads so well.  I added liquid pearls to her necklace as well lol! 

Our sponsor this week is Paper Pretties and the lucky winner will receive a clear stamp set called ‘timeless love’. 

The rest of the DT have created amazing cards for your inspiration once again this week, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.
