A pop of red

Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog
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.

Love the way you have segmented the circle into bits. Very effective and the way the fairy appears to be climbing up to the top. Love that pop of red too. Hugs Mrs A.
