~ 365 Cards: Day 156 ~

This week, CropStop is sponsoring 365 Cards and the winner receives a gift certificate. To win, simply participate in the challenges for this particular week, starting Sunday.

Today's challenge is a card recipe. Here's the requirements: 

4.25x5.5" card

3x3" patterned paper

stitching

3 rhinestones

a sentiment

1 stamped image

2 buttons

Here's my card: 

Tilda stamped image, courtesy of a friend, coloured using Copic markers. Patterned paper by Basic Grey Wassil. Stamped sentiment from Unity's Merry Merry Merry set. Think I've fulfilled the card recipe requirement! Don't exactly have rhinestone with me but hey, those dots will do!

Since being here, have been practising my colouring techniques using Copic markers. Have made the switch from Promarkers to Copic as I prefer the brush nibs. Have also discovered how cheaply Copics are sold here too (at least half what I would have to pay in the UK)!  Anyway,  there is currently a 15% sale for Copic markers at a stationery store! Guess I will be lurking in there for a while! :) TTFN!
