My Guest Designer card for Crafty Friends Challenge Blog

I was asked by the lovely Diane of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog if I'd like to be a guest designer for them for this weeks challenge

Of course I was delighted to have been asked and accepted straight away 

Thank you so much for asking me, I feel really honoured to be joining you 

I made this card using a Bugaboo image called Kidz Fishing which I coloured with Copics

It's available in the Bugaboo Store Here
There is also a little boy version Here

To make the card I scored a piece of 6 x 9 inch card, scoring at 1,2. 3.5, 5 and 7 inches

The piece of acetate measured 6 x 10 inches, scored in half and just taped onto the front and back of the stepper part

I do love these cute little stepper cards

Some brilliant news that I am now allowed to share with you all

Back in May I noticed that My Mums Craft shop  was running a DT Call

I thought I had nothing to lose by applying and was amazed when Kitty got back to me on Monday to say that although they had chosen their new DT members that they would like to offer me a GDT position for the month of September

Its been very difficult to keep a secret as I am so excited to be able to design for and promote My Mums Craft Shop especially as they are also in Dorset 

My congratulations go to the 2 new permanent design team members and all the others lucky to get a  GDT position

To  see who was chosen please check out the post HERE

I am Fashionista's Guest Designer this week

 

After coming in the top 5 over at Fashionista the other week with my anniversary card for my Dad and Step mum Brenda, they very kindly asked me to be a guest designer for one of their challenges - Summer Fun

Thank you very much for asking me, I feel very honoured!

This is the card I made especially for the challenge

I have used a XXL Go Kreate Frilly Square #2 die to create the base card and then I cut the designer patterned paper (using the next size down die) and stuck to the card before cutting and scoring to create the stepper card.

The image is from Lili of the Valley,  the sentiment circle is also from Lili of the valley and is a clear stamp which I inked in silver, it says dreaming of summer days. I cut the circle and scalloped circle with Spellbinders dies and the square behind the image with a Spellbinders scalloped square die and added silver circle peel offs in the centre of each scallop.

I have used a Cheery Lynn flourish die and made the flowers using a Die-namics flower die set and also used my Cheery Lynn butterfly dies.

And now for the important bit
