Hello! I hope you are all well today... well... it was lovely here at the beginning of the week... I really thought that Spring had arrived... we have some crocus and mini daffs coming out in the front garden...but then it went really chilly again yesterday!! don't put your thermals away just yet!!!
it's time for another challenge over at
It's the turn of Team A and this week our lovely Shell is hostess and she has designed a fab...
'Sketch'
 |
| Shell's Sketch - MAWTT - 21/02/13 |
I love working with sketches and trying out new layouts ... and this is a wonderful sketch....
I won some gorgeous candy from our lovely Claire recently and I noticed some scrummy orange heart papers!! I have used one 8 x 8 sheet here... the pattern is graduated and so it has worked quite well when layering... I just love these fiery tones...
We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Meljen's Designs...
and we were kindly given some fab images to work with.... and I have chosen 'Romance Diva' - isn't she fab!!
Not too many embellies... the scrummy flower is from My Crafty Heart - Prima Cloissone - Bronze...although it hasn't photographed very well here.. it looks SO much nicer in real life!
I've added a little enamel 'bee' charm from stash... Some hearts from JosyRose... and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat... Tiny Sweetheart Sentiments.
I've coloured the lovely 'Romance Diva' with Promarkers:-
Skin: Putty, Sunkissed Pink
Oranges: Burnt Orange, Honeycomb, Apricot
Browns: Caramel, Cocoa
Star Dust Stickles on Rose and Hearts...

Sue, I love the way you've added your color to Romance Diva so she appears to be wearing a skimpy and very risque dress! She looks fabulous on this sweetly layered and loving card. The addition of your pretty bee charm adds an especially nice touch. So glad to see your entry at the Crafts and Me Stamps' digi team's "Charmed, I'm Sure (add a charm)" challenge. Hugz, ~ Rose
