ICS #31

Here is Dawn's sketch for this weeks challenge at ICS .
Remember you can rotate, flip, stretch, cut down or anything your heart desires. Just be sure that we can see part or all the sketch within your projects. Embellish as you see fit and to your liking.


I have made one of these tiny cards this week again using Love Notes from Stampin Up. I love these and especially with these little characters. The only stamping that I have done this week is the sentiments where I borrowed the new Smirk Stamp sets from my friend. All the backing papers and the images are cut from the Smirk DP set. I used my copics to colour in the faces as I did not like them when they were left white. Ribbon is from my stash and I have used stickles glitter glue for a bit of sparkle.

I have used more of the paper and images on the inside


I have finised off the back with a bit more of the paper and a cut out image.



I have sponsored the challenge this week so you can check out the prize on the ICS blog Here and I am willing to send the prize anywhere in the world so I hope that you get a chance to play along with us this week.

Miss Anya fits 2 challenges

My new Miss Anya stamps from The Greeting Farm arrived earlier this week and I think these have to be my all time favourite stamps - I just love them. I have used two of them on this card which I am entering into 2 challenges this week. The first is a new one that I have come across on The Greeting Farm blog called The Case of the Curious Card and this week there is a lovely card by Kristine to case. Check out the blog to see how to enter. The second challenge is over on Roses on Paper and the challege here is love and frienship and this card I think would be a great card to give to a friend.
