These download designs are gorgeous, here I've used three of the papers, dot's peaches and stripes,

Wow 2nd post today and it's not even two o'clock lol

Hi peeps,

Yes I'm still awaiting the phone call lol, probably wont get it today either!!!

I've seen the challenge over at Simon Says stamp with a gorgeous colour scheme and they are also doing a DT call might be brave and apply!!!!!
I mean who wouldn't die to be on this DT

I've dug out my copics for a change you know how it is sometimes your in the mood for one thing rather than another, well it's typical because as I started using my E50 I noticed it's running out, but thankfully it kept going just long enough,

They are also using WOJ stamps so I've brought one of mine out of hiding lol,

I've not followed a sketch, I sort of made it up as I went along lol,
the bling squares I've had years but thought they went great with this, the lace is a favourite of mine as it seems to go with so much,
the swirl is a Magnolia Doo Hickey die, the punch is of course Martha Stewart,

I've outlined the image with  a W1 copic pen for a little depth just on one side to give shadow
I love copics but need yet more colours lol,
Challenges
Simon Says Stamp ~ coffee and cream
Challenge up your life ~  monocrome
Have you noticed not a hint of distressing lol, what do you think me or not !!!

My Magnolia stamp club has come and they are gorgeous, so I'm off to cut out the little beauties so I can play lol!!
Have a lovely day, and don't forget I'll be back tomorrow with my DT cards lol!
