BnW Challenge - A Sketch & A Little Candy For You!

The Candy is closed! I will announce the winner shortly!

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you all had a fab summery weekend and lots of time to enjoy some spare time and maybe some crafting too?! I in deed did enjoy our hot Summer weather down here with lots of time outside by the pool. But I also had some fun in my craft room altering this little journal. It's going to be a diary for my daughter Kim.

I made this using the sketch provided by our talented Jacque for our Belles 'n Whistles Challenge this week! Here is the sketch:

And here is what I came up with using the sketch:

I colored sweet 'Eden with Teddy' using my distress inks. The image was stamped with Archival Ink onto 140lb/300g hot pressed water color paper from Lanaquarelle. For all the bling I used Stickles Stardust and Arctic Ice.  The flowers are from Prima and Whimsy stamps and the leaves are punched out using a MS leaf punch. I distressed the flowers and leaves with brushed corduroy and added Stickles as well.  Finally I spritzed the whole project using Glimmer Mist Baby Breath to give it a nice shimmer all over.

The sentiment stamp is from Catslife Press and my DP is  Bo Bunny. The little journal I found at Michaels.

This really is an awesome sketch Jacque made and so much fun to play with. So I hope you like to join us in this weeks Belles 'n Whistles Challenge and have some fun with the sketch too! I look forward to all your wonderful creations!

I am also entering this card into Wild Orchid Crafts first challenge which is 'Say it with flowers'

I will be on a little break for the rest of the week :-) My best friend is visiting from Germany and we haven't seen each other in almost 2 years. So there won't be much time for crafting this week only lots of fun and chatting, chatting chatting....LOL
