Birthday Shopping

The DT members of Crafting for all Seasons were invited to Guest Design for the Bugaboo Catch the Bug Challenge and this week it was my turn. Unfortunately for some reason they decided not to use my card, a bit rude I think, they didn't even bother to say anything, but I had been forewarned by someone else that they did this too and checked the challenge blog before I published.  I have decided to publish my card anyway as I had planned to enter it into some challenges.

I have used the image Girlz Shop and the design inspiration came from one of my many magazines, I have been going through them all recently trying to find some inspiration.


I have coloured my image with ProMarkers and the papers are Dovecraft - Back to Basics III.  The inner scalloped circle and plain circle have been cut with Spellbinders dies and the scalloped edge on the central border was created with one of my Martha Stewart edge punches.  The flowers are from my stash, the leaves are a Punch Bunch punch and the sentiment is computer generated.

I have decorated the inside of my care as well:


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenge 207 - Flowers
LEJ Designs Challenge 18 - Anything Goes
Party Time Tuesday's Challenge 83 - Anything Goes
Shopping Our Stash Challenge 66 - Use your Favourite Things (Spellbinders Dies)
The Stamping Boutique Challenge 48 - Anything Goes: Birthday
Through the Craftroom Door Challenge 33 - Diva or Anything Goes
Crafts and Me Challenge 99 - Birthdays
Divas By Design Challenge 50 - Let's Celebrate!
Let's Craft and Create Challenge 52 - Stamp It
The Paper Shelter 79 - Layers on Layers (I have seven layers if you count the base card)

Thank you for joining me today, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

    Good luck in your challenges, maybe you'll be lucky with them to make up for the disappointment of not seeing your card featured elsewhere. :D
