What a surprise when I was a second place Winner for Quirky Crafts challenge no.7 and got invited by the lovely Cazzy to be a guest designer, once again, for them.. Their current challenge is ANYTHING BEGINNING WITH AN 'S'.
I got this cute image from Bugaboo called AVA SWING to play with and you can purchase it here. Of course 'S'wing is my interpretation of anything beginning with an 'S'.
So with no further ado, here is my creation with no surprises at all, its another centre step card. The sentiment is a from Create with TLC. The image and sentiment were coloured with H2O water colour pencils and dry chalks. The flower embellishments were created with a flower and circle punches and the tutorial for it can be found here on my blog. The design paper are from BasicGrey and the bling and photo turns from my stash.
So hop on over to QUIRKY CRAFTS and have a look at me featuring as guest designer as well as their Design Team's gorgeous creations, and oh yes, don't forget to enter the challenge.
