Oops i did it again....

Every week I start a card for the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge but I never get it finished in time! I've just  finished my card today and I really enjoyed making it and  it fits the bill for lots of other challenges so all is not lost. Although talking of lost, my camera is lost and I'm not a happy bunny. My DS borrowed it on Saturday to go to a party and came in at 8am on Sunday, rather the worse for wear with a broken phone (he'd dropped it in his beer) and no camera! He's going to be on the naughty step for a long time for this one.

Anyway here is my card,

I've used this weeks sketch from C.R.A.F.T challenges for the layout, the main backing paper is from an Artylicious cd and the deeper purple panel is a bp I made with radiant rain paint dabbers and starburst stains. I stamped and embossed an Elusive images swirl around the purple panel and then drew round the oval on the backing paper and did the same around that. I added some purple ribbon to the panel and attached the tag with a metal butterfly charm. The tag is a creative acrylic piece which has been embossed on the back with lilac and green shimmery EPs and on the front with the word 'Magical' which is a sentiment from Sweet Pea Stamps.

The main image is  one of my favourite sweet pea stamps, Ching Chou Kuik's 'Full Moon'. I stamped the image and masked it before stamping the tree, foliage (all using Elusive Images Stamps) and inked in a  cloudy sky. I then removed the mask and coloured the image with promarkers and embossed her  wings with clear sparkle EP. I've attached it with 3d foam and added some roses made from strips of canvas coloured with glimmer mists and lilac stickles and some leaves cut on my cricut.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Drunken Stampers: masking

Crafts and Me: Purple and Green

OSAAT: Mystical

Craft your Days away: Use your favourite things (lots of my favourite things in this card - the colours, the stamps, I also love masking and getting inky too.)

Thanks for looking,
