Michelle Perkett DT Call

Good morning, I really should change the name of my blog to 'Crafting with the Lark' or something as I'm going through a phase of getting up at 5am, still it gives me more time to craft so I shouldn't complain.

Michelle Perkett has a DT call out over on her challenge blog, now I'm a huge fan of Michelle's digi stamps, they are all so beautiful and delicate (have a look in Michelle's store and you'll just fall in love with them all!!) BUT I'm really busy at work at the minute. I've been ummming and ahhing about putting in for the DT call but finally decided to go for it as crafting is much more important than work lol!

To enter the DT call, Michelle has kindly provided one of her lovely images to make a card and this is what i've come up with


The image is coloured with promarkers and then I embossed the icing with some blue shimmery EP and added a little glitter to the plate. I've cut the image out and popped it up on 3d foam on a circular mat which I dusted with blue ink and embossed with swirls (using a HOTP stamp) in the same shimmery EP. I've added a doiley (you've got to have a doiley with cake lol) which has been inked and also has some little dots of pale blue stickled. The bp is from Joanna Sheen and the blue glitter card and lace are from my stash.

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
My time to Craft: Eat cake or drink it up
I love promarkers: Sketch and no more than 3 colours
Our creative corner: Its embossable
Stamp Something: photo inspiration

Usually at this time, I'd be rushing round getting ready for work but I have the day off today AND the sun is shining. Thanks for looking,  I hope your week gets off to a good start too :-)
