Sketch and Stash Challenge #1

Becky, Chrissy and Lisa have launched a newly fortnightly challenge blog, Sketch and Stash, in which you follow a sketch and use something new/unused from your stash (there goes my resolution not to buy until I have used up my stash!!)


I coloured Tilda using my new (Christmas present!) promarkers and added part of a stamp from PB Transparent Salutations set in the corners using pink Papermania ink. The sentiment is from the same set. I matted Tilda on to Basic Grey Eva papers. Its the 1st time I have used this paper from the Eva pack - far to pink and busy for me, but perfect for my friend who will be getting it. I inked up 2 woodware corners and added ric rac and ribbon from my stash. The flowers are Prima (of course!).
There is a fab prize up for grabs so why don't you have a go?

The challenge says "or maybe use an item which you've never used since you've bought it..." - I think you may have one or two packs of paper that come under that banner :-)
