Anything Goes #2 + Cowgirl's Sunday Stamp'en #4

Quick post as once again I have left it very late to enter the Anything Goes Challenge #2 but on the other hand I will be entering the Cowgirl's Sunday Stamp'en #4 on the day it was published.  Just one extreme to the other.

Anything Goes Challenge #2 - Pink & Cream + Pearls & Lace.

Cowgirl's Sunday Stamp'en Challenge #4 - Sketch by Andrea

The pink paper is by Tinker & Co and the cream paper is from stash. The lace is about 40 years old and I pinched it from my mum's old needle case.  I knew I kept it 27 years for a reason. I hope that having pearl-escent card candy counts as pearls because short of cutting up my necklace they are all I have. Ooohhh, I just remembered one of my tops has pearls round the neck, I think the top will look just as good with a plain neck.  What do you think?  Maybe next time.  My image was a freebie I got from CJ the owner of Cowgirl stamps, I happened to mention there wasn't a button to her shop on her blog and she sent me this lovely image as a thank you.  The sketch I followed was by the talented Andrea.

It was about 10:30pm when I started this card, I was going to go to bed when I remembered the Anything Goes Challenge, I am really please with how it turned out.  The colours are a lot more vibrant in real life.  P.S. Who is stealing the days, I'm sure there used to be 7 in week but it only feels like 5 now.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and I will be visiting you soon.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #55 - NOT

This was my entry for Digital Tuesday Challenge #55 until I realised I'd looked at the wrong date and this challenge was for last week. I've linked it and everything and then realised it's Thursday and a new challenge has been blogged. Next time I will check the date before I spend all my time making a card. Anywhoo this is how I made the card.

The raindrop card and mats were cut on my Craft Robo and I coloured an image from Stamp'en with CJ with my copic markers.

Going to bed now as I've not slept for the last week while we waited to find out if my OH was going to be made redundant. Luckily he wasn't so big relief for us.
