Simon Says ,,,,, Tutti Frutti challenge :-)

Good morning hope all is well with you all :-) We had lots of fabulous entries to our photo inspiration challenge ,, and I collected some lovely cocktail recipes too !! :-)

Time for a new theme over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and this week we want you to get fruity !!

TUTTI FRUTTI

We would like to see some fruit on your creation :-) stamps,papers,charms, buttons,,,,,easy :-)

As always we are sponsored by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a trolly dash around her store to the value of $25 !!




For my card I followed Jo's fab sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge

The DT are showcasing Basic Grey products on their creations this week :-) You don't have to use them for our challenge but if you have them we would like to see them :-)



I used my lovely Splish Splash a Citrus Bath
stamp ,, so cute :-) I coloured the image with copics and inked the edges with shabby shutters distress ink and yellow chalk ink. I then added my fave Star Dust stickles. the papers are Basic Grey from the Lime Rickey paper pad. I made the flower using Tim Holtz tattered floral die cuts and distress ink, pearl glimmer mist and stickles ,, oh and a pearl :-) The sentiment is a Melissa Frances rub on and I added a few Robins Nest dew drops to finish :-)




I am also entering this into the Basic Grey Challenge whose theme is gingham :-)

The DT have made some gorgeous cards for you to see so hop on over to the Simon says Stamp Challenge blog to see them :-)

I have a blog candy sponsored by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp at the top of my blog if you would like to see it :-)
