Crafty catz challenge #339 ANYTHING GOES ...... & GDT CALL

Good morning hope your well we have a little sunshine today so fingers crossed it is fine where you are.

Friday can only mean that i have another challenge DT card to share with you.

Crafty Catz challenge is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES but we have a optional twist for those that like a challenge set and this week it is

Ribbon & Pearls. The team has followed the twist but remember this is purely for fun.

We have also extended our GDT call for another week so if you fancy joining us for 3 months starting October then add GDT after your name.

Come on you know we dont dont bite lol.

Ok so this weeks challenge is sponsored by

Sami Stamps and they have kindly provided the team with some images to play with

So here is my card using Catching Snowflakes

and a close up of the image so you can see the glitter on her dress

I have coloured the image with promarkers and added white glitter to the dress and wings.

The base card has been stamped with various snowflakes stamps and heat embossed with clear, & white glitter embossing powder.

Pink satin card and Spellbinders die for the image. 

Some Pink dotted ribbon and pearls to finish a simple winter/ Christmas card.

I do think this could be used as a Winter birthday image too. What do you think.

Well hope you will come and play along with us and maybe try out for our GDT

Have a wonderful weekend I have a birthday meal to go to for my Brothers 50th so something to look forward to.

Bye for now.
