This weeks challenge over at Sweet Stampin' is a lovely one 'Cute and Cuddly', and our lovely sponsors this week Craft Mojo are giving a £10 voucher to the lucky winner!
My card is made using a sweet image from Saturated Canary (haven't coloured one of these images for ages!),it's called Panda Hugs and I think it's totally cute! I'm having a bit of kraft kick at the moment so I chose to print on kraft and colour with pencils! Then I broke out the new dies! Stitched circle, mounted on a stitched square, so quick and easy! The leafy border is from Memory Box (another new acquisition...told you I was bad...) I already had the corner die! Papers are definitely not new, had them for years but tend to hoard them because they're so beautiful (DCWV- Far East)! Stitched (actually stitched!) on some ribbon and added three little buttons. Sentiment is from a set by Lawn Fawn (won this...not bought :)
Well that's it from me, finished showing off my new goodies...unrepentant about my extravagance!
Hope you'll be tempted to play along with us this week, we'd love to see your cute and cuddly creations (remember to stamp something), why not hop over here and see what my lovely teamies have made?
Have a fabulous weekend-whatever you are doing!

GORgeous! What a sweetie this is. LOve your dies too Chris.
ReplyDeleteSounds as though you've been having a great time on your buying spree! Me? I did make a resolution not to buy anything for a while! It looks like a badly organised store room here, not sure what I have anymore..so I'm going to use up what I can for a while.
