The day has finally come!

Today we are launching the new challenge blog over at Bearly Mine Challenge. Great challenges, great sponsors and lots of inspiration for you all.

For the very first challenge we have these lovely sponsors. (The fabulous rubberstamp is offered as a price from Crafty Emma's store). Be sure to pay our sponsors a visit. You never know what you need. ;) So all in all we have three fabby prices up for this our first challenge that will go on for two weeks from now.





To start us of has Donna made us all a sketch to follow. Lots of fun to work with, so much fun that I actually made two cards for this challenge.

For my first card I used an image from Whiff of Joy, coloured it with distress inks and used a bunch of blue designer papers from the Extreme III CD that Donna is offering in her store. Lots of goodies there. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft. The key in the lower flower arrangement is from a local flower shop. I painted it with some crackle paint from Rangers. The swirl stamp is also from whiff of Joy, winter version. Half pearls from Bunny Zoes.Sorry about the strange colours in this photo. :(


For my second card I used a part of an image from Kenny K's, the face of "All that". She is coloured in grey tones with promarker pens. The designer papers are from one of Donnas new digi kits called Cheeky Day. I sooo love these colours! The bling comes from my stash.

So now it's your turn to pop over to the challenge blog and join us in the fun!

Take care!

Love n' hugs,
Marie
