Bling it Up!

Hello, happy Monday to you :) Hope you had a wonderful weekend and your Monday starts the week well. We had a very wet, cold and windy weekend, time to light the stoves again!

This week over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges, the challenge is 'Bling it Up' sponsored by My Mums Craft Shop

This is the card I made for the challenge -

I am not really a girl of bling, but I managed to root out a bit!! I cut some different size strips of 'baby patterned paper' and stuck it down to the card. I left a gap large enough to fit the circle.

I added a cute little bib to the circle, stamped 'welcome' and added a bit of bling. I did some faux stitches around the edge of the circle.

 I cut out the baby girls name with some adhesive felt, and stuck it down to a pink strip of card. I then added two flower embellishments for a bit more bling. Behind this pink strip of card, I border punched some vellum paper. I think this gives such a beautiful discreet affect, without it being too obvious. 

I stuck the circle die cut down with some foam pads, just to give some depth.

Why not enter the challenge this week? Root out some bling from your stash, and give it a go! A great prize up for grabs :)

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to enter this card into the following challenges.

This week over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges, we have a Double Challenge of Bingo! Both teams are creating a project this week, and then by public vote, the DT member with the most votes wins a prize! yippeee! You can vote for your favourite DT entry at the right hand side of the blog post. As I recently moved to team B, I am fond of both teams (!!), so go take a look and see which DT creation you prefer.

This is the Bingo sheet - we can choose diagonally, vertical or horizontal. I chose, (can you guess??) Bling, Three Papers and Sentiment, one of the diagonal row.

This weeks sponsors are Lacy Sunshine and Craft and Me. The prizes are $20 to spend in Lacy Sunshine store and three digis from Craft and me, so WOOHOO there will be two winners this week :)

I have used this beautiful Lacy Sunshine cupcake fairy for my 'S' fold card.

 I used watercolours to paint her, and a bit of bling for her frosting hair!

This is the card when it is standing. You can see the three different papers I chose. The green paper is beautifully embossed with glitter on it.

 This sticker, I used for the sentiment. It tied in with the cupcake/cake theme fairy!

 Yum, all this talk of cake is making me hungry!! ;-)
