Good morning to you all in the land of blog
Today sees the next challenge at the
This week the theme has been chosen by the very talented Helen and she has chosen
Hugs and Kisses
I had a few ideas in my head for this one, but they all came tumbling down as the cuttlebug broke, but as the Big Shot arrived so swiftly to replace, I was able to get this one finished :)
So here is my first card created using my Big Shot, my inspirational piece for you all :) but don't forget to hop over to the site to see who the amazing sponsor is this week and to check out the rest of the Design Teams fabulous pieces.
I created an easel Valentines card. The papers are Kanban from Grimsby Crafts, the base layer and contrast is a deep textured green card from the Hobby House. The flowers are from Wild Orchid, airbrushed with RV91. The bling gems are from the Hobby House. Ribbon from a win, cheesecloth from my stash. Leaves cut out of left overs. Now the large heart is an example kindly provided by Tracy at Dies to Die for as is the little tag for the sentiment, aren't they fabulous, can you guess what is on my wish list next. Here is also the cherish border that caused me so many problems, but doesn't it look stunning.
Here are a few close ups
The return with the Cherish border slightly snipped to reveal the sentiment.
The image coloured in copics
The easel itself with the lovely Memory Box dies
A little closer on the heart dies (hubby hope your looking - for my wish list) and the little sentiment tag.
Now as always I would like to thank all my wonderful visitors for their lovely inspirationally kind comments, which allows me to hop on back over to visit them in return.

Kate this is stunning, gorgeous image and colourwork. My big shot broke so I had to get the cuttlebug out lol, hoping to replace mr shot real soon :) Joey xx
Oooh sooo pleased you got a BS as a replacement for your CB, you'll love it, in my opinion they are so much more stable to use.
Love your border die, it looks so intricate and delicate, but nothing the BS can't handle!!
Hope you're doing okay.

Thank you for your congratulations Kate. That means a lot. I did not even know I made top 3 on that one. I do not get proper blogger updates. It shows only what it wants to show. I have to write all the deadlines in my paper desktop calendar and check a few days after deadlines.

Gorgeous card Kate, I like the sweet image and all the swirls.

Thank you for asking about how I am. Today has been brutal for me but other days are not much better. It's been snowing for the first time today this winter where I live. Postie will need a helicopter in this weather to get to me because we live on the top of the hill. I'll let you know when it arrives. Have a great night.
