Step by stepGood morning. It's a bit soggy out there today and a rather wet school run done for now. So I'm cosy in my craft room so thought I'd put together a post on making a simple box pop up card as I get asked alot about how I do mine and get them looking so good.<br />
Unfortunately I haven't got the gear to do a proper video tutorial yet so I've done a photo step by step guide using an a4 piece of card stock. So here goes.<br />
<br />
So we start with any piece of A4 card stock you have, the thicker the more sturdy the box will be.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In your trimmer portrait style cut the card stock to 6.5" (this will be your base)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then using the left over piece cut that portrait style again to 1"</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqimj2AIJL91be3wPnb_OMfoqjU3UyNbf9LVV5EYjhyRMD9F3VSFyQthRc6P1tNw3Xv0NazbA_YG__TgKiz2IGmwhakbaVRVlr8BeYaqZwh5YqRkgqwOMr54bnhisi7Z6xj2W1h7bH_ql6/s1600/20180213_101426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqimj2AIJL91be3wPnb_OMfoqjU3UyNbf9LVV5EYjhyRMD9F3VSFyQthRc6P1tNw3Xv0NazbA_YG__TgKiz2IGmwhakbaVRVlr8BeYaqZwh5YqRkgqwOMr54bnhisi7Z6xj2W1h7bH_ql6/s320/20180213_101426.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now using the 1" strip pop it in the trimmer and cut 2 pieces at 4 3/4" ( these will make the straps to go inside your box for you to decorate)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we move on to the scoring. Now you can use the Fiskars trimmer to score using the black embossing tool or use a specialised embossing board it's up to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzpv6JYc_5DCYTXW8atKqSSz1H-og4s5fZWlUWrzpDDiZeTPT8E5sIl42GXdJtUxAM-Bsf0VL-qneBA3yvGpOxx8vaOnyTOO0TP28lXZM59_n1cfXHwJQTv7rPXDjncdq6mlZUq6bjmu-/s1600/20180213_101447.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzpv6JYc_5DCYTXW8atKqSSz1H-og4s5fZWlUWrzpDDiZeTPT8E5sIl42GXdJtUxAM-Bsf0VL-qneBA3yvGpOxx8vaOnyTOO0TP28lXZM59_n1cfXHwJQTv7rPXDjncdq6mlZUq6bjmu-/s320/20180213_101447.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we start by placing the card stock in landscape style on the board </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3lQeK0CSepe_zH7U2Y0L8zFM4-9EdggQ5YD4hzi99Gzo9KVIQNgYqPmDQpRUkoJj_yDyJS936y4PR0f7MnU6BtyrmozzDPOhsFr3iidntz06_fLuZRXdOCLDNytsB0Q_EVzq6DsDA6Tg/s1600/20180213_101459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3lQeK0CSepe_zH7U2Y0L8zFM4-9EdggQ5YD4hzi99Gzo9KVIQNgYqPmDQpRUkoJj_yDyJS936y4PR0f7MnU6BtyrmozzDPOhsFr3iidntz06_fLuZRXdOCLDNytsB0Q_EVzq6DsDA6Tg/s320/20180213_101459.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And we are going to score at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" & at 11"</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymNP7WGEznqqbtWuooQq7iW3nOTyzHqYl4upCDTbxXrzFpzKzA1yjX9ZQjMjaS0fMM73aEYMPXMh9wLsgiigBkkqn3JgpDHzFx-teNkvD9Mi5hlKA6SZvEa04lp4RPjbiTU6pXoQxoCO_/s1600/20180213_101518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymNP7WGEznqqbtWuooQq7iW3nOTyzHqYl4upCDTbxXrzFpzKzA1yjX9ZQjMjaS0fMM73aEYMPXMh9wLsgiigBkkqn3JgpDHzFx-teNkvD9Mi5hlKA6SZvEa04lp4RPjbiTU6pXoQxoCO_/s320/20180213_101518.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now turn to portrait style on your board</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28HVzaACtGdhYJ50RxbS9rqk0ye1ctObS_k3Xzep1CSXWGwNPIqDejZ1V-9WJ0HTQGAxe2ZK2mdybUZzyBkYaUSxLLGUfIAs1TZSTfAT5CLljPfIGXuszszrWXwAOr7FRGK6-GedG-2Vx/s1600/20180213_101538.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28HVzaACtGdhYJ50RxbS9rqk0ye1ctObS_k3Xzep1CSXWGwNPIqDejZ1V-9WJ0HTQGAxe2ZK2mdybUZzyBkYaUSxLLGUfIAs1TZSTfAT5CLljPfIGXuszszrWXwAOr7FRGK6-GedG-2Vx/s320/20180213_101538.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And we are scoring at 3 3/4" all the way down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that's your base of the card scored ready to trim and fold in a minute.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now take the 2 inside straps and place on your board in landscape and we are going to score at 1" and again at 3 3/4" this givesite you the flaps to secure the panels inside the box card and allows it to fold flat.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIwEMFQ0MgPLTPAeEBadIsBPqQs6voAGS_FFkHAbMA1KnKw86tBJKQ-ieCv_eagD91JMzORjjD7RgIRlK1FI6EewdgSsuuMTbPrb8N9dk8RqTuxCuK4q_CZ46ZSw5AfZwgs4FdZ0CKqfn/s1600/20180213_101640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIwEMFQ0MgPLTPAeEBadIsBPqQs6voAGS_FFkHAbMA1KnKw86tBJKQ-ieCv_eagD91JMzORjjD7RgIRlK1FI6EewdgSsuuMTbPrb8N9dk8RqTuxCuK4q_CZ46ZSw5AfZwgs4FdZ0CKqfn/s320/20180213_101640.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we move to trimming the card. Using the scored lines cut to centre centre line from the shorter side in this createsection the flaps for the main card and leaves the taller section as your main body of the box.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the thin edge of the card cut a diagonal piece to join the slit you made this create the piece in which secures the box together.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we score and fold the sides as below.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I've used double sided sticky tape to the thin edge but you could use pva glue or a tape pen if your prefer. I like tape as it's quick and less messy.</div>

Remove the tape cover and pull the left side over and it will adhere the strip to the edge and your main box is ready.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well it's been a bit of whirlwind adventure over the last few months since I gave up work to focus on my crafting full time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my latest bit of news is that I have been accepted as a Craft Demonstrator for <a href="http://www.docrafts.com/" target="_blank">Docrafts</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will mean popping to the Range stores within the Midlands area showing and demonstrating with their latest releases. This is yet another great opportunity for me to build my skill base and help inspire and encourage more crafters which is something I'm very passionate about from my time with Hobbycraft and loved that side of the job. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will post a list of events as I get them confirmed so if anyone is local then you can pop in and catch me crafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's to a super crafty 2018</div>

This week I have been keeping myself busy by making inspiration samples for my local <a href="http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hobbycraft</a> store here in Coventry.<br />
I have worked with Simon and his team for nearly 2 years now making samples for new collections or to promote some of their products.<br />
This week I was given the new seasonal papercraft ranges to create with from <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.thecraftblog.com/&ved=2ahUKEwizpZuart_YAhVEYVAKHep5DMoQFjAAegQIDxAD&usg=AOvVaw0GDgbGonQzlBj1OQePgPxV" target="_blank">Trimcraft</a> & Dovecraft. Here are a few of the samples I have made so far using their Hearts & Crosses and also the Mum in a Million ranges.<br />

And finally for today I have taken a Paper Mache Heart box which I've covered with 180gsm card stock from the store, added pale aqua satin ribbon, coordinating washi tape from the collection Mum in a Million. Then I've made a topper for the lid to match. This would make a lovely gift box or keepsake for any mum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All these samples will be on display and shown on the stores Twitter page over the coming weeks.</div>

It's been a funny few weeks with no Glitter n Sparkle images to use and starting my new job.<br />
<br />
Well I'm back this week with a gorgeous image by Aurora wings called Diamond and here is my finished card. I decided to keep this on very simple as the image it's self is so lovely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have used promarkers to colour this image and used a blender pen to take colour out and create shadow effects.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went for a slightly different card blank style this time and it's a dl shape that opens on the short side</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used off cuts for this card which is a great way to be thrifty when crafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stretched the floral digital image to give a longer look to the flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured them using Promarkers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marsh Green - Buds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cocoa - Branches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pale pink & Aniseed for the petals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to keep it simple and added a floral ribbon from Meiflower Crafts and then stamped flowers down the right hand side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is what I came up with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have coloured this image in using Promarkers:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Horse: Cinnamon & Burnt Sienna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tail & Mane: Sandstone & Praline</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saddle & Bridal : Henna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blanket: Grey Green</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skin : Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hair: Burnt Sienna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jumps: Lipstick Red</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rider's t-shirt : Cardinal Red</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grass: Pear Green & Marsh Green</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a large 8" x 8" card blank from a sheet of A3 card stock, next I used a Stampin Up Stamp set which included the apple and used memento ink to stamp the apple border on the card blank. I also stamped and extra 2 on a scrap piece of card to use as embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have matted and layered the image with coordinating papers and card stock colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final pieces were to add the apples and then the sentiment which is a Woodware Crafts Stamp set called Make a Wish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning and it's another fun challenge this week over at the <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weeks sponsors are brilliant and Myself and Samantha got this gorgeous <a href="http://cute-as-a-button-stamps.myshopify.com/collections/digital-stamps" target="_blank">Cute as a Button Digital Images</a> - The image could be coloured in lots of different techniques and colour combinations but I went for a Orange & Purple colour scheme for mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colours used are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skin: Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hair: Sandstone, Cinnamon, Burnt Sienna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Neck piece: Orange & blender pen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hat : Violet, Purple, Spring Lilac & Amethyst</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunflower - Bells</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the Promarker blender a lot on this image to create shading and look of movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered the card using the Venetian Paper Stack from an old retired Stampin up collection which I though worked well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The element of ribbon or lace was easy as I knew I had some lovely satin ribbon from Meiflower Crafts which matched perfectly with the colours I have used on the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you would like to join in the fun over at <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog</a> and to be in with a chance of winning some amazing prizes, simply make a card using the brief and add your link to the post.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>

Pear Green on the stems<br />
Ivory for the body of the dress<br />
Skin - Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The brief asked for sparkle so I have add sparkle to all the flowers, added a sparkly ribbon buckle and also used glitter white card stock as a layer.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I arranged them on the computer with the intention of doing a scene, which worked really well when I printed in and made started using the inks and dry baby wipes to create a seaside scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to make the card bright and sunny like the summer holidays were already here. So I chose Promarker colours such as Lime twist, Hot Pink and Sunflower yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skin is done with Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hair is done with Burnt Sienna and Cinnamon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I continued the colour scheme with the backing elements and ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All finished off with a Sentiment from a Stampin Up set.</div>

<br />
We had a hiccup with the digi's we were supposed to use but <a href="http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ikes Art</a> saved the day and we all got an image to work with.<br />
<br />
I chose a design I have worked with before and here is my shaped card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was trying to create a country fete style theme with the flags and bunting.</div>

Good Morning and welcome to another fabulous themed challenge over at <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week we have some amazing sponsors and my chosen sponsor is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SamiStamps" target="_blank">Sami Stamps</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love their images and have purchased several of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So which image did I chose?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I got this gorgeous design:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_en-g9vI8CHsR9QbnuAtqaxWatceDQHMJme6RjPiuF6an6HcG9gidYQGSFxVX_jTcu5SofWdUmWJO4aBIcUQmN7gJvmkFihgzQk4q7VI1-h0cjQ0AYfZnAaLVtrOYVVi_lojPNz13JNul/s1600/il_570xN.863459366_phms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_en-g9vI8CHsR9QbnuAtqaxWatceDQHMJme6RjPiuF6an6HcG9gidYQGSFxVX_jTcu5SofWdUmWJO4aBIcUQmN7gJvmkFihgzQk4q7VI1-h0cjQ0AYfZnAaLVtrOYVVi_lojPNz13JNul/s200/il_570xN.863459366_phms.jpg" width="64" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/255024022/digital-stamp-blossoms-girl?ref=shop_home_listings" target="_blank">Blossom Girl</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the theme set is Red & White</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is what I have created:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10SmVurKf2h57N416oc_nHA-JEELann6Fi5TachlS-IpC1Xyhek9pJHThArANzEWDEURWTn1NuGo8ayubG618AFCnJ9ANFMGIqaI9yyHLu5fsJcTR1Tx_WmsmyuUlTlkc4u5kD-5QQ6FB/s1600/12936723_10201554599942635_6468508881454696114_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10SmVurKf2h57N416oc_nHA-JEELann6Fi5TachlS-IpC1Xyhek9pJHThArANzEWDEURWTn1NuGo8ayubG618AFCnJ9ANFMGIqaI9yyHLu5fsJcTR1Tx_WmsmyuUlTlkc4u5kD-5QQ6FB/s400/12936723_10201554599942635_6468508881454696114_n.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept it simple as I think it looks more effective.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured the image with Promarkers: Lipstick Red, Berry & Poppy for the dress,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skin: Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hair: Primrose, Pastel Yellow & Mustard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flowers: Crimson</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the Promarker blender pen to add shading to the dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The backing is a gorgeous Red Polka dot card stock from Anna-Marie Designs purchased at the NEC and I have used a Stamp Set by Stampin Up for the sentiment in the top corner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White satin ribbon tied in the corner and then I have added red & white pearls to add final details.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this image and have coloured it in a few other colours too ready to make more cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like the image and will pop over to take a look at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SamiStamps/items?ref=pagination&page=2" target="_blank">Sami Stamps</a> or pop over to <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog</a> to take part in the Red & White challenge theme.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good morning, and welcome to this week's <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle Challenge</a> which this week the theme is all about:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moon, Stars or Sun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a great theme and I have to say I instantly had an idea for this theme and was lucky enough to be given <a href="http://www.beccysplace.com/all-images" target="_blank">Beccy's Place Digital Images</a> to choose images from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fell in love with the <a href="http://www.beccysplace.com/cattitude-set" target="_blank">Cattitude</a> images and I got this very cute cat image to use on this card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I have made:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Cats on Wall under the stars'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_xfIpXWudjB_CKpkyH8f45qK0q3scpVLx0VBpG9xPWRl7I5j0pPi3yGemkm7CRbMvIpo-wfVr9LS2_rDrOI2i3q9Hz-x5EJd_TfwQk_IfxgR0PeW4HKkESfLGMjnlbHdq04b6045WWNx/s1600/12957430_10201554540861158_5384823116378178304_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_xfIpXWudjB_CKpkyH8f45qK0q3scpVLx0VBpG9xPWRl7I5j0pPi3yGemkm7CRbMvIpo-wfVr9LS2_rDrOI2i3q9Hz-x5EJd_TfwQk_IfxgR0PeW4HKkESfLGMjnlbHdq04b6045WWNx/s400/12957430_10201554540861158_5384823116378178304_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed 3 different sized cats and then coloured them with promarkers:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply used - Raw sienna, Cinnamon, Burnt Sienna and Cool Grey 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The backing is simply made with silver stamped stars, hand drawn moon and then I added some black star paper clips which are from IKEA. The wall panel is a backing sheet by <a href="http://www.kanbancrafts.com/" target="_blank">Kanban Crafts</a>, which I have stamped the 'Moon' sentiment by Docrafts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a very fun theme and I can imagine we are going to have some fantastic entries over at <a href="http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glitter N Sparkle</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to seeing all your entries.</div>
