Buttons and bows at MPS

White rabbits!! I don't know why you're meant to say that on the 1st but if it brings me luck then I'll say more or less anything lol. Anyway today is the day for a fab new challenge over at Michelle Perkett Studio and our theme is 'buttons and bows'! We will soon be announcing our new mermaids but we thought they'd need time to settle in so look out for their fab cards next week :-)


For this weeks DT challenge card I've used this stunning image from Michelle Perkett, she is called 'Vanessa the love goddess' but as a special treat Michelle did a stamp for each of the DT with our names on!!!!!! Thank you Michelle, its so kind of you!!
 I was so excited i couldn't wait to print her off and get colouring!!!

The image is coloured with promarkers and matted on some pale pink card. I've used a gorgeous bp from K&Co and layered the image over a heart shaped doiley colored with Adirondack Salmon dye ink. I've used some pink lace and green velvet ribbon and added some flowers and buttons from my stash.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Freshly Brewed challenges: Ribbons and bows
Incy Wincy: Spring is in the air
One Stop Craft Challenge: Spring flowers
Paper Cutz: Spring
PaperPlay: Let's get sentimental
Sentimental Sundays: Anything goes
Stampin Sisters in Christ: At least 3 buttons
The Pink Elephant: buttons, lace and ribbon

Thanks for calling by, don't forget to check out Michelle's Etsy store for Vanessa and lots more gorgeous images :-). We're finally getting sorted out after our leaky kitchen lol, we did have one more dis-a-ster yesterday when the chap who levelled the floor wasn't sure if it would be dry but after blasting out the heating all night it was fine today. Hopefully when I get in from work later the house will be back to normal, well as normal as things get at my house
