Good Morning everyone from a rather wet East Anglia........where is Summer ? It's absolutely freezing.
Things are setting down in puppy land and we even got some sleep last night, so keeping everything crossed that I might get to do some crafting today.
A coupe of things I need to tell you about:
Penny Black at Allsorts are looking for new Design Team members, so if you love you PB's and would like to be considered for the team pop over to the challenge blog now.
And if you love your colouring and want to win a fantastic set of the new AquaMarkers from Letraset worth £79.99, then check it out over at the Polkadoodles challenge blog where you can find out how to enter. Closing date for entries is 31st August 2010.
It's the lovely Kirsten's turn to host the new theme at Allsorts this week and she would like to see paper Piercing or Paper Piecing on our work.
My card uses Ballerina Molly from the new Molly Blooms stamps by Clare available exclusively from Sir Stampalot.
I used Copics on her face, arms and legs and for her clothes some DP from my stash which I also used to create the back panel using Martha Stewart around the page 3 dot scallop. The three roses are made from the same DP, punched leaves and butterfly, a beaded pin and the letters are cut on the Big Shot with a Sizzix die.

I am also entering this card for:
Cooking up with Katie - Flowery pink square, use flowers, pink and a square
Creative Card Crew - Cute and Girly
And my second card it my DT project for this weeks new challenge at Polkadoodles where it's Stacey's turn to host the challenge and she wants us to print onto acetate or vellum.
I used the Paper Boutique CD, re-sized the flowers and printed onto acetate, which I them matted onto white cardstock and fixed with brads. I printed more of the same flowers onto white cardstock, cute out and glittered the edges. The swirly leaf is cut from a Sizzix die and the card edging Martha Stewart embossed scallop. The sentiment is from the unmounted stamp set.
I thought I would also enter this card into this weeks Creative Cottage challenge as they would also like to see acetate used on projects.

Gorgeous cards Brenda. The Molly Bloom card is very sweet and your roses are beautiful. I love the flower on the second card, especially how it echos the background flowers.
It's wet here too!

Enjoy your weekend.

WOW! What beautiful cards. I LOVE the flowers! I may have to save up for that cd. I think the way you glittered the edges of the flowers was fantastic. I've been meaning to try that after seeing another lady use that technique also. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of your masterpieces. Hugs, Debra (dj1952)
