Pearls & Swirls at The Crafty Pad

Me again!

Over at The Crafty Pad this week we have a brand new challenge for you, with a theme I just KNOW is going to inspire you all....

PEARLS & SWIRLS

Yes, it's going to be a popular one, and to celebrate, we have the very wonderful CRAFTY RIBBONS with these gorgeous 'Bursting Blooms' ribbons.....mmmmmmmm!

This week the DT have used one of the wonderful new Fairies digi stamps from THE CRAFTY PAD DESIGNS. Those of you who follow our challenge blog will already know that we offered some of these (and more!) as FREEBIES this week in our mid-week post! If you missed them, you can still grab them HERE, and don't forget to leave Debbie a thank you.

Here's my card, I used the super Fairy Chloe on Daisies and she has of course been coloured with Promarkers.

My DPs are from The Paper Shelter, and are called Shopping Girl. I followed this week's sketch from Papertake Weekly, and matted/layered with Bazzill card in co-ordinating colours. I used my Martha Stewart border punch for some added detail. 

My 'swirls' are made using flat-backed pearls, and I have tried to create a trail for my butterfly (which is double-layered using a craft-tonic punch.) I am not 100% sure they really work, think I need some more practise tbh!!

I finished off by adding some 'dot' detail to some of the layers with my white gel pen.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Catch the Bug - Flowers & Pastels.
• Fairy Fun Fridays #51 - Flowers or Showers (I chose flowers.)
• Stamp Something - Something with Wings.
• Digi Doodle Shops Best #56 - Anything Goes.
• Moving Along With The Times #96 - Anything Goes.
• The Stamping Boutique #5 Winged Things.
• Papertake Weekly - Sketch #55.

Don't forget to pop over and join the fun at THE CRAFTY PAD and leave some love for DT who have made some amazing creations this week.

Thanks for popping by!
