Shoes and Wine

For this card, I used the fabulous Freshly Made Sketches sketch. As soon as I saw this sketch, I realised how this card could go.....The gorgeous shoes are Stepping Out from Clearly Besotted and the bottle and glass are from a Pickles and Onion set. Normally, I would colour the bottle and glass and add some gloss.....the shoes might have been coloured and glossed but I decided that this card was actually working because they were black and white....it felt kind of boutique-y!!

The pink stripe and spot papers are from MME Fine and Dandy Girl pad. The gorgeous shaped turquoise bit is a die cut from my new Kaiser Craft On the Move pad and has "style" stamped from the Stepping Out set. Pearl swirls complete the card. I worried that they were maybe a little too much, but I think they work. What d'ya think?

Glittery Fancy and Digital

Can you believe that a fortnight has passed since our last Dream Valley challenge? Nope, neither can I!! But, we have a cracking challenge and it is sooooo easy I suspect there'll be a huge number of entries.....Glitter and Bling! Good, Huh?

I decided that such a challenge gave me the distinct excuse to use my adored Saturated Canary Fancy image. (Originally, it was a freebie, but it should be in Krista's shop at some point soon.) Fancy has been coloured using my precious Polychromo pencils, Stardust Stickles and a bit of Platinum Stickles for the hair "pins".

The papers are Summertime Designs Dryer Lint At Tiffany's. Unusually for me.....in fact, VERY unusually for me....I have NOT printed out the papers as I normally do....I actually layered them on my computed and layered the image on my computer and layered the flowery embellishment on the layout too!! I know, I'm actually still in shock myself! I added a little texture with some organza ribbon, which has been threaded underneath the flower embellishment. And a large Blingy Gem at the centre of the flower completed the card.

Here's a close up of the pretty lady herself:

So, what Glittery and Blingy handiwork are you going to produce for Dream Valley? We're sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs too and some of the team have showcased a few of these images beautifully - take a look!

Have a great Sunday, folks!
