Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Circles & Squares!

Hello, how are things in the world of you?

I’m here to let you know that there is a new challenge starting over on the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards blog today and our theme this fortnight is Circles & Squares!

We are lucky to be sponsored  by
Ladybug Crafts Ink


They very generously allowed the team to pick our own image from their amazing range! I finally(it took some time) chose to use the wonderful Martini Nikki!   Love her!  Isn’t she just faaaabulous daaaarling!! For some reason, when I saw her, she brought to mind a sort of kitsch, 60’s cocktail party kind of vibe and I think I managed to find the perfect paper for that!











Ingredients:
Stamps: Crafters Companion sentiment
Dies:  Tonic nesting circles, nesting squares, swirl & Martini glass – Tattered Lace corners – MS large ‘Leaf Branch’ punch – SB 'Jewel Flowers & Flourishes'
Paper/Card: American Crafts - pink pad from The Works
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils
Others: Liquid Pearls–paper roses from The Hobby House – gems from stash - rose 'Sheer Wrinkled Edge' ribbon

I hope you will join us for this great challenge. Check out the blog for all the wonderful DT inspiration and play along!

Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx

    Jane, jane JANE!!!! What a gorgeous easel card made even more gorgeous with Martini Nikki taking pride of place lol. I'm not sure where to start...here goes...I LOVE the martini die cut, so cute! The pp is fab as are flowers. Your colouring perfection and I really like how you've created the effect around the image with liquid pearls. Thanks so much for joining in our Easel Card challenge especially using an LCI image this fortnight and for showcasing Nikki so beautifully for your Chocolate Coffee Cards challenge that we're sponsoring! xx
