Good morning, before I move onto today's card I want to share some great news with you...Sweet Stampin' Challenges will be 10 years old on Monday! I think that's a wonderful achievement...10 years and still going strong.
I have a special soft spot for this lovely Challenge and it's team, I joined 7 years ago- I had only been card making for a short while and I was delighted to be invited.
To celebrate this landmark birthday Sweet Stampin will be holding a draw at the end of November, all the entries for the whole month will be included (as long as they contain some stamping, of course.)
There is a fantastic prize of 5 digis from Whimsy Stamps for the lucky winner.
Now for this week's challenge and today's card- the theme is 'add a pop of red'
I made a circular card in black and white featuring some of my beloved Lavinia stamps. I masked the fairy's hat so that I could stamp it in red and added the 'fur' trim with a white gel pen, the die cut branches are (Tim Holtz) Sizzix
I really love the cards my lovely teamies have created this week, hop over and take a look for yourselves! We'd love to have you play along, and who knows, you could be the winner of the fabulous prize. The more entries you make this month (max. 3 per challenge) the more chances you have to win!
Thanks for stopping by, have a good week.
