Cute Card Thursday 'Sketchtastic'
This weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday is a fabby sketch by Caz. I have used one of my new Magnolias from the Winter Stampclub kit which I have coloured with Distress Inks. The background is stamped with an old PSX Love collage stamp and I have edged the card with Distress Inks. The paper is from a K + Co pack and I have used some Bazzil Card for matting and punching the swirls. I added some lace, a couple of flowers and some pearls and the smaller pearls are from a pearl pen.
Well I can't believe that it's New Years Eve, where did the past year go, it has flown by!! I hope you all have a great time tonight and I'd like to wish you A Very Happy and Prosperous 2010.
