Crafty Catz / Time For Tea Challenge

Good morning and a Happy Friday.  

Weekend is just round the corner and we are promised another good one. Although this heat is disrupting my crafting far too warm in my room. 

Grab a cuppa as i have 2 challenges in this post.

Well as it is Friday then that must mean a new challenge at CRAFTY CATZ 

and as it is the 1st of the month (white Rabbits) then that must mean 

a new challenge at TIME FOR TEA

So if your looking for some challenges to enter then you cant go far wrong with either of these. Or why not combine as I have.

Now over at Crafty Catz it is Carols turn to host and as our challenge is ATG but Carol gets to pick a optional twist she went with a Colour combo BLACK & WHITE

Our sponsor for this challenge is 

Crafty Sentiments with a prize of 3 digital images

While over at TIME FOR TEA 

we have a CELEBRATION challenge

and there are lots of prizes details on the challenge blog

so anything that you are celebrating will fit but please remember you must use a Time For Tea image.

So here is my card which I have used this fab image from Time For Tea called Mew-vellous feed me available HERE and I have used the colour combo of Black & White to fit

Image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some Pencil for texture

Faux stitching

Lawn Fawn Scallop Boarder die

Joanna Sheen Banner die

Computer generated sentiment

DP is from Papermania a very old 12x12 pad

Twine from stash

The dots of black & white are Tonic Nuvo drops
