So onto my card - I have used the very fabulous Lola A6 Rubber Stamp and have coloured her in using my SN's - (These the stamps are perfect for use with the complete Spectrum Noir range as there's lots of scope for hair, skin and clothes colouring/blending).

I decided to make a scalloped easel card and this one is about 8x8 cut using Grand Nesties on my Callibur. The card base has been made with Centura Pearl and the papers have been printed off the CD. I used the Die'Sire Lace Border #2 to add a bit of interest and the sentiment (comes with the image) was stamped onto the smaller fancy oval from the Die'Sire Cameo Frame Dies. The flowers have been cut from templates on the CD and finished off with leaves from the Die'sire leaves #2 Die.

You can find more sneek peeks on our FB page Crafters Companion UK & in our FB group I'm a Crafters Companion. We also have more sneak peeks and an interview with the Artist herself  on the Crafters Companion Blog and as the artist Sharon Cansfield says : "Don’t be daunted - YOU can do this & you CAN create something unique. There are no rules, no right or wrong. Give yourself plenty of time as crafting is addictive & just have fun, and if in doubt ADD GLITTER!"  of which you can get in abundance with our range of Darice glitters we have have on the Crafters Companion site.
