Excuse me!


Today's card is for two challenges -- The first is the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - to use 1 image,2 papers and 3 embellishments, and the second is the One Stop Craft Challenge - use a charm on your card.

The image is a stamp from 'Stamps Away' called 'Cat on Dress' stamped with Archival Ink in 'Coffee' and the girl's dress is coloured with a Copic Ciao marker - I've only just got a set of these so I'm learning what can be done with them as I go along!

The two papers are by K & Co and the embellishments are two little flowers by Hero Arts and a heart from my stash.

I also took delivery of a 'Purple Cows' trimmer today - hence all the wavy edges. Well, I had to try it out didn't I?
