It's Punches at Crafts add Me

Morning Peeps,

Another quick post as it's late.  Been a little manic recently and the next 3 days are going to be testing.  I have an ISO Audit so will be spending the next 3 days accompanying the Assessor.  They are long days with very little time to break, so I will be working long hours and as well tomorrow I have to take my son reffing, so no crafting time for me, in fact no time at all.

Anyway after boring you all to death, I'll move swiftly on.  Today at Crafts and Me Challenge the theme chosen by the Fabby Trish is "Punches".  So hop on over and punch with us.

I have used Cinderella by Kraftin' Kimmie available HERE.  She's just one of those stamps a girl has to have!

I have coloured her with copics.

Just wanted to show you this gorgeoous lasercut chipboard flourish available from Make It Crafty, link below.  I have added some acrylic paint, stardust stickles and then distressed it with black soot.  Inky fingers, yep!

Ingredients:-

Cinderella image by Kraftin' Kimmie available HERE

Papers by Nitwits

Bazill Cardstock

Martha Stewart Punch around the page and frond punch

Tools - Sewing machine

Lasercut Chipboard Flourish from Make It Crafty HERE and now available from Quixotic Paperie HERE

Flowers from Wild Orchid Craft

Seam Binding, Stickles, Pearls, Lace from Stash

Shoe charm 99p shop

Oh and before I go, gosh this was meant to be a quick post honest, we are having a Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy Blog on Saturday 08:00, you certainly won't want to miss this one that's for sure, so pop a note in your diary.

Have a good week and wish me luck, lol.

Morning Peeps,
