Audrey... For this card I used the CD Pretty Sweet. I did some stitching around the edges and used ribbon from my stash for the bow. A very clean and simple card.




Emma, hello, I have used a gorgeous Garden Neighbours stamp this time, stamped onto kraft paper and coloured with pencils. The backing paper is from the Sundae of Seasons Cd and the sentiment is Sensational Sentiments. Embellished with some co-ordinating ribbon, peel off stitching, glitter glue and Doodle Dewdrops.

Louise: For my card this week I have used the new mini CD called Pretty sweet and the designs are very sweet.I have coloured my image with copics and added a little ribbon and bow. The sentiment is from the sensational sentiment set.

Tracie: For my card this week I used a girl from Magical Winter part two. She was coloured with promarkers and the ever gorgeous wink of stella glitter pens

Lis-m Seems everyone loves the new Pretty Sweet cd. I love them so much, they are so girly, just up my street! The sentiment is from the cd...

Enfys: My card is BIG - 8 x8 and I printed the carol singers from Magical Winter to fit, and added quite a wide ribbon. I used glitter letter stickers to spell out the words on their songsheets, and gave them all a pompom on their hats. The inked edges are dark green chalk ink - looks a bit brown in the photo......

Claire For my Kraft gift bag I have used one of those gorgeous Pretty Sweet girls along with sentiment and paper from the cd. I have coloured her with Promarkers and used my ribbon to create hair bows!

Colette - Another Pretty Sweet card, the papers and images are just so hard to resist! The flowers are made from punches, the ribbon is narrow silk ribbon from stash, which is curled and held in place with little gems.

Fliss - For my card I too have used the adorable new Pretty Sweet CD and have chosen a patchwork effect. I trimmed squares of the gorgeous rosebud paper with pinking shears and added faux stitching. I finished off with the lovely Amelia and her basket of roses cut out with an oval cutter on a pink dotty paper mat and a wired ribbon bow.

Miria For my card I used a lovely Pretty Sweet again, coloured with Distress. The papers are from the same cd, the sentiment is handwritten, ribbon, doily and pearls from stash.

Josie: This week I used the Image and backing papers from the Pretty Sweet CD Rom. I used the clear Wink of Stella pen to high light her bows, and then covered in Glossy accents. I coloured the image, sentiment, flowers and ribbons with Pro Markers.

Ruth: I too have used Pretty Sweet cd - the papers and image are both from the cd. A bit of faux stitching added plus some ribbons and that's it!

Alan: Papers used are from SUGAR BIRDIES and DOUBLE SPRINKLES
The Owls were from the cd SUGAR BIRDIES.
I secured the Owls onto their own tag and then after punching a hole l threaded lost of ribbon through it. The ribbon at the bottom was just a short piece of cord knotted each end then a smaller ribbon wrapped round it. The images were not coloured in just printed out and then carefully cut out. Each owl had its own pocket. All the edges of the papers were inked with a distressing ink.



Good luck with the challenge and please remember our rules! Closing date is Sunday 23 October at 12noon GMT
