THE PINK ELEPHANT Challenge 3.....

Morning everyone........just a bit excited today as we bring you Challenge #3 at The Pink Elephant...........and the reason for my excitement....it's my turn!!!! I have a sketch for you :) and here it is...........
This fabulous seahorse image that i've used on my design today is from Clarity Stamp which i've inked with Ranger Archival Jet Black.
I've utilised both my Cuttlebug and Cricut(sounds like a double act!) again today.........although i don't use my Cricut nearly enough, i would not want to be without it now! and my flowery swirl was cut from the Home Accents cartridge at 2.5"
My green background has been embossed with Swiss Dots, one of my most used folders........they're made of tough stuff which is a good job the amount of times they get cranked through those rollers!!
The cardstock is Bazzill and Core'dinations..........can you believe i ran out of black Bazzill and had to use the core'dinations for the swirl and the background mat! Some crystals and a HOTP sentiment complete my design......the card base is 5 x 7.

We have been pleased to see so many of you entering our challenges for the first two weeks and i personally would be thrilled to bits if you joined in this week......we have some fun challenges coming up over the weeks ahead and some fabby prizes too..........oh, and some more of my sketches! :) I have scheduled this to post at the same time as the team girls in the U.S..................................check back later though to see a picture of the prize i will be offering to my favourite from the entries this week ;-D

  1. Well that's it Carol - one look at that swirl from the Cricut and I am totally convinced I need one of those machines. Your card is totally awesome - the colour is just out of this world. I love it.

  8. This is a wonderful sketch. I will do this sketch again, my card for this challenge sort of took on a life of it's own and the swirl because a gold waterfall. LOL
