My pencil pot holder started life as a Bisto Gravy Granules pot!  I coloured the rim black with a ProMarker.  Then I added scrapbooking paper and ribbon trim.  Simples.   I finished my pot off with this sweet flower from Bugaboo digi stamps called Doodlez Flower.  I coloured this gorgeous flower in with ProMarkers and then used foam pads to attach to the pot.  You can't tell from the photo but I have added an extra coloured layer to the flower head for dimension.

A Gem of A Challenge No. 166

Good morning crafty friends.  Here's to wishing you a wonderful weekend!
A Gem of A Challenge
There's another fantastic challenge over at A Gem of A Challenge and this fortnight the theme is DON'T BE A SQUARE (ANYTHING BUT SQUARE).

A bit of a challenge for me as I ADORE my square cards.  Here is my one...


Luckily, earlier this year, I purchased a Crealies die.  This is Die No. 6 and it was quite easy (and I say 'Quite') to use.  Took me a couple of goes to get it right but the result is lovely.  My sweet image is of course from Pink Gem Digi Stamps and is called Flapper Emma.  She is coloured in with ProMarkers and I have made my flowers from a Crafter's Companion flower die set.

Here is the lovely Prize...


2 single digi images OR 2 card topper kits
(or one of each ) No sets or Sentiment sets
