I'm going to make the most of my Monday off!
I might even have a little lie in!!!
As you know, every Sunday, it's time for the new challenge at
This weeks theme is Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend!
We want to see diamonds (well gems!lol) on your project!
Here's my card.
lol! I made a Diamond Top Card!
We are sponsored this week by the lovely Joanna Sheen
The prize on offer is a £10 voucher for her fabby online shop!
The team have used Belinda in Reflection this week.
I think you'll agree she's a little gem of an image!
I coloured her up with Promarkers then cut her out with a Nellie Snellen die.
I added a couple of diamonds to Belinda's hat & top & did the same on her reflection
I added some punched leaves which I layered up then topped with a little flower
to which I added a little gem at the centre
The papers I have used are Papermania as are the gems.
The sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You & is coloured with promarkers &
matted on to a diamond of the design paper
matted on to a diamond of the design paper
I mounted the sentiment diamond using foam squares &
then added more of the punched leaves around it!
then added more of the punched leaves around it!
Ths picture shows the fold used to create the Diamond Top card.
looks tricky but it's so easy to do!
As I type up this post & look at the pics, I notice I forgot to put the diamonds
on the corners of the top section of my card! (Silly Billy!)
I was in such a rush to get halfway decent pics while it was dry!
I hope you can find time to join in this challenge it's easy peasy this week!
