Here's my creation for this week's challenge:

For this card I used cream coloured cardstock and layered this with paper from the K and Company's MxKenna 12 x 12 paper pad, as well as a strip of burlap from ebay, crochet lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and a tea doily from Dovecraft (though this is hidden because of the image! Ooops!) The image is from our sponsor at Ppare Pretties called Easter Eve and this was coloured in using Promarkers (Satin, Cool Grey 4, Black, Cinnamon, Forest Green, Bright Orange and Sunflower) The added embellishments are Curly Roses and Green leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts to tie in the with the colours of the easter eggs in the Pins image for this week! Plus a little colour goes a long way!

St Patrick's Day - Pinspiratonal Challenges

Another week of awesome entries at the Pins Blog has gone by and it's time to for guys to enter in this week's challenge too!

So without further ado, on to this week's picture - as It's near to St Patrick's Day, today's challenge pic for the week is this:

 

So here is my card below:

This mini 'Good Luck' card was created using the Good Luck Anya from the Greeting Farm, who's been coloured in with Promarkers (Forest Green, Bright Green, Apricot, Blush and Black). I layered her up on Spellbinders Lacy Ovals in K and Company's McKenna 12 x 12 paper pad, I used some burlap I purchased from Ebay to add some texture to the card, embossing the main card base (Caramel card stock - yep, using it all up until I've run out!) in Sizzix's Dots and Vines embossing folder. The 'Good Luck' sentiment was stamped in Lawn Fawn's Harold ABC alphabets stamp in Momento Tuxedo Black. Think it came out quite well, and very cute! :)

Prize: 7 digis

I die cut two circles - Spellbrinders Eyelet Circles and Spellbinders Lacy Circles and layered this on top of a Tea Doily from Dovecraft.
