Tilda + Friends 'Pink, Blue + Green' Challenge
The challenge at Tilda + Friends this week is to use Pink, Blue + Green on your ATC. I have used the scraps from Mondays PTW card and another Tilda from the Fall Stampclub kit. The paper is pearlised and really pretty but for some reason it looks a very odd colour when photographed.
I am sorry for not visiting blogs this week but I will try and catch up over the weekend. I haven't even made my card for CCT tomorrow yet!!

Friday Sketchers #19
I have based this card on this weeks fabulous sketch at Friday Sketchers and I've used a couple of stamps from the new Magnolia Fall Stampclub kit.
I love the unmounted Magnolia stamps, they are so easy to store and I never put any EzMount on them, they stamp perfectly with just the rubber ( I just put them on a mounting block with Pritt stick and then wash it off afterwards) and it saves money to buy more goodies with!!


















Supplies
Stamps: Magnolia - Fall Stampclub, Bird, Toadstools
Tools: Pro Markers Cuttlebug, Sizzix Die, Flowers, Lace + Brads from Stash, Glossy Accents, Sakura Clear Stardust Pen
DP: Bazzill, Basic Grey

Help Finding Paper
