Furry Friends...

Two christmas cards in the same week and it's only July!!..but i couldnt resist inking up this super sweet stamp "Furry Friends" from my winnings in last weeks Sugar Bowl :0).....it's available from Funky Kit's but be warned you may be heading for a plastic meltdown.....

i've followed the Sketch over at The Sugar Bowl but kept everything pretty simple..i cut a circle with my nesties and ran it through a snowflake embossing folder added a few punched snowflakes and added a little ribbon and a charm from my stash..i've coloured with ProMarkers but again went for the "Less is More" approach...papers are left over from last year and everything has been stickled :0)

i would like to enter the following challenges

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch

Winter Wonderland - Give it a little lift (embossing)

Papertake Weekly - Getting Cute

I Love ProMarkers - Christmas in July

Passion for Promarkers - It's a Sketch....

This week at Passion for Promarkers the lovely Michele has designed a fabby sketch for you to follow...

 and this week we are sponsored by Some Odd Girl who are offering the winner three stamps of their choice...

here's my interpretation of the sketch..

i used some yummy Bo Bunny papers which have been distressed and stickled :0)...the cogs are by Make It Crafty and are available in the UK from Quixotic Paperie (excellent and quick service!!)..ive coloured them with walnut stain distress inks and a gold promarker and then added some crackle accents to give them an aged look :0)....the buckle was from my bestest Kaylou..cheers chick :0)...and the image is one of my favourite Sassy Girls "Amelia" and is available from Funky Kits...she is coloured with PM's in warm grey 1-5 with just a few black high lights again using the new fine tips from Letraset .....

here's a close up :0)

i would like to enter the challenge at Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
