Yet again another fortnight has flown by and we are now onto our seventh Challenge this one is hosted by my fellow team member Marie of kompis-kort-by-mi.blogspot and she has given us a fabulous sketch to follow here it is

I really enjoyed using this sketch as its a lovely straight forward one not to many fiddley bits to contend with. Anyway for this Challenge we are being sponsered by the following companies:-

 Bearly Mine Designs - 2 Digi sets of the winner's choice

Crafty Emma - £10 Gift Certificate

 Fred She Said - $20 Gift Certificate

Fantastic Ribbons - bag of buttons

I think this Challenge blog is one of the best ones for their stunning prizes and whats being offered this fortnight is unbelievable any one of those would be my choice and I hope that you also will be trying for them to, weve been getting more and more entrants each fortnight and Im sure this time will not be any different. I also want to let you know that Donna my Team Leader has a brand new Digi "Paper Lace"set on her Bearlymine Webshop Blog and you must pop over and see it for yourself, heres a preview of it and by the time this post is posted it should have

a brand new name. Now I had better get a move on and show you the card that I created for this challenge and here it is:-

I have used this time one of the Whiff of Joy stamps this is "Willow with basket" and I stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, then I cut her out with my square Nestabilite die and used a scoll stamp around the edge before mounting her onto a square scalloped mount out of yellow pearlescent card. The sentiment is one from my stash which I thought went well with my image, this was also stamped onto white card then cut out using my rotatrim and mounted on another piece of the same yellow card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of yellow card and one of two papers from Donna's "Delicious Delights" papers and if you click on the title it will take you to her webshop for you to buy it. This first paper is a very yummy strawberry one, on top of this I have laid a piece of yellow card thats been put through my cuttlebug with a leaf embossing folder, then for my second paper Ive used a cherry one which also comes from the same paper set but this was stuck at the angle as the sketch shows, on top of this is my mounted image and the sentiment at the bottom on the right.

To finish of I have stuck in the top left hand corner a large daisy head on top of some punched leaves. I do hope that this card will inspire you to take part in our Challenges, do please pop across to the Blogspot and see what the rest of the team have created for you, they are stunning.

Now arnt these fabulous prizes and Im sure you wont be able to resist taking part in the Challenge, its not fair we arnt allowed to do so, you lucky people.
Anyway heres my card for this Challenge:-

Well as you can see Ive used Uptown Angel from Kenny's Digi Downloads, Ive printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens then cut her out with my oval Nestabilitie die, and used the scalloped one for the mount, the sentiment is yet again one of the LOV circle stamps, and this has been cut with a circle die and mounted onto a scalloped one as well.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue pearlescent card and one of three papers from Donna's January and February Freebie downloads, you will find these on the same site as Donna's shop, then Ive stuck the first one onto the first mount and then put a strip of a diamond pattern on top, the third mount is another of the flower ones which was placed to the left, across the middle I have wrapped some seam binding and then created a bow with the same colour ribbon which was stuck to the right hand side, with a swirl of pearls going underneath it.

My mounted image was then positioned to the left hand side and my sentiment at the bottom on the right, I also cut out two corners with my Marianne dies which were also stuck on the left hand side top and bottom. The last thing to finish of is the flowers that Ive stuck at the top on the left around my mounted image.
