Sketch Saturday Challenge #82 & a Commission

 My favourite day of the week, because that means it time for another Sketch Saturday challenge, Jo has done a superb Sketch this week

I was very kindly asked by a fellow Blogger ( i wont say who just incase ) To make a card for her Daughters 17th Birthday, well i was delighted too ofcourse. She told me her daughter liked pink and was very glam and girly, heres the card i made for her. Im really pleased with it, I hope she will be too, fingers crossed!!! i just love this stamp

Inside the card

I created the pink backing papers myself by stamping the background and distressing it with Chocolate chip ink lightly over with a sponge dauber, the Flowers are handmade and stamped with a spotty background on some, finished with gorgeous pearls, glitter and Stampin Up! Chocolate chip card stock ( ofcourse!) lol

I enjoyed making this card so much i thought ild give away another Card Candy Kit

Three challenges and a time for giving

Ok im sorry but i have combined one card for 3 challenges, i sometimes find this more challenging than doing one card for each challenge!. I have been wanting to try out new challenge blogs for a while but never seem to have the time to go hunting.

I came across Friday  Sketchers a while back, they always have a wonderful sketch to work with and this months sketch is no exception , Create4fun would like to see an easel card and lastly, All sorts challenge who would like to see swirls and pearls on your creation.

We have a fantastic Floristry warehouse just down the road from where i live, so i popped in for a little visit......bags of paper flwers, leaves, and frosted wire later oh and nearly £80 less in my purse i did come out with some lovely new finds though, one of which is the frosted wire and the Autumn leaves.

This set of stamps is my Fav at the moment, ive got lots of images coloured up ready, i cant stop colouring them in, there so beautiful!

I cant have all the fun myself can i!, so i thought as its christmas and its a time for giving i would share with one wonderful reader of my blog the chance to grab this mini kit

All you need to do is leave a comment for me on this post, i will draw the winner on Wednesday
good luck everyone, thank you for visiting :  )
