Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

This easter holiday is turning out to be jinxed ... 1st we (well hubby) had to go back home to get all the things we (read he!) forgot, then the car boot gets dented, he traps my coat in the boot lock and tears it, Beth has got a bad cold/cough and is cutting her last back molar, and finally having arrived to 5 lambs on the land there are now only 3 :(.


However I have seen my lovely friend Samantha (and the girls got to harrass her chickens and ducks!) and been to the Papermill shop to stock up on card. And the weather has been glorious over the last couple of days. Oh and I have made a card!! This week's SCSC is a sketch with a colour combination, chocolate orange. Orange is well out of my comfort zone!

I watercoloured my image and cut her out. The matting layers are cut using mylabels nesties, and I added a WOJ swirl. I embossed the brown cardstock using my D'Vine Swirls folder. I used my fiskars threading water punch to make the scalloped edge and added the brads - they are supposed to rise towards the centre!) and some organza ribbon. The flowers are punched using my EK Success punches (green and pink) (hope this helps Jane!) and fastened together using an orange brad.
Ellie arrived in our roomthis morning at 6.30am devastated that the easter Bunny hadn't been as there were no chocloate treats on her bed... if she has used her eyes she would have seen the little basket with chocolate in on her bedside table!!! But heck whats the fun in that ... always better to wake the grown ups up really early!!!! So by 7am the girls had done the chocolate and treat hunt and were happily devouring chocolate!

Have a very Happy Easter Sunday.
