A Recipe for Crafty Catz - 3,2,1

Good morning i got a little side tracked today with all the TV with The battle of the Somme. Gosh they where so very brave.

Ok back to my make and the challenge. Friday can only mean CRAFTY CATZ and this week it is Tracey's turn to host.

She would like us to follow her Recipe of 

3 Design Papers

2 Different Embellishments

1 Butterfly

Our amazing and kind sponsor this week is

LACY SUNSHINE

Well I got so carried away with this image I coloured her up before I even gave a thought for the challenge then had a panic over my papers. I found a small pad that came with a mag and just thought they worked. What do you think. This might be something i will need for our next challenge but Mums the word I havent given you any hints.
Well she is coloured with promarkers and is called Sugi Strawberries
My enbellishments are the gems on the butterfly and also the Red spotted ribbon to match her out fit.
Die is a memory Box and have used a Martha Stewart Punch on the panel
Well hope you like and please pop along and checkout the teams amazing samples they have done yet another wonderful job.
Also it is our Team Member Naomi Birthday today so please pop over and wish her a wonderful day
Thanks for popping by have a wonderful weekend.

Ice Cream Trea Stamp of the month

Wow what happened to June. I am here just quickly to share my card using this months stamp at From The Heart Stamps.

This is a progressive challenge that they run and if you havent joined in then you can either buy the stamp or if you spend $10 then you can get it for free. Then as long as you enter each month you will receive the following months stamp free.

Wow a win win situation dont you think.

Well this month is a Ice Cream Line Up set and is available in the shop if you have missed it.

So here is my card using just one of the Ice creams and a sentiment that I think is just spot on for those on a diet. Hope you like.

I have gone with a CAS style for this one.

printed direct to my card base and added some Paper clay and some gems for embellishment.

image has been coloured with my promarkers.
