Hello! Hope everyone is well and surviving the horrendous UK weather. My heart goes out to all those caught up in the floods. The rain has been merciless. Do take care out there!
So onto cheerier things! We’ve gone a bit spotty today at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog and we’re hoping that it is contagious!! What am I going on about? Well our new challenge starts today and we would love to see your cute creations using Spots & Dots within the design. But please don’t forget to make it cute as in adorable! I think the definition of cute is becoming a bit blurred at times but if the image is sweet and makes you go Awwwwwww! then you’re on the right track!
and one lucky winner will win a $10 gift certificate for their online store
who are offering a $5 gift certificate to one lucky individual.
The DT were fortunate to be allowed to choose an image from the From the Heart online shop which was nigh on impossible, so many beautiful things, but in the end I picked Bunny Hello. Too cute!
I recently came into possession of the brand new Spectrum Noir pencils (sounds a bit dodgy that, like they fell of the back of a lorry… don’t worry Del Boy was not involved and I did pay for them) and this is their first outing! These fab pencils come in so many scrummy colours but for some reason I chose to colour in greyscale with a splash of pink!! Hey ho!
I printed my little girl and wabbit on Neenah Solar and once coloured I stamped round the edge. To further incorporate the spotty theme I added dots to the flowerpot.
The papers are from Papermania and the dies are all from Tonic as is the tiny flower punch. I embossed the card behind the lattice with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Dainty Dots folder
The rose is made using the Sizzix 3D Flower Bigz die and the ribbon I found in the bargain bin at Hobbycraft. The sentiment is from LOTV which is a change I made after submitting my photo to the DT blog. Oooops!
Pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to join in the spotty fun and be inspired by all the lovely creations made by my fellow Cuties.
Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!
Colourful hugs
Jane xx
