Surprise Sweetie!

Hey & Happy Weekend!

I was hoping to have popped in before today, but I was hit with a head cold on Thursday night and I'm only just about recovered. The beans have been a little snotty and under the weather too, so it's been a bit blugh here!

Anyway, back to business, I was SUPER surprised and beyond HAPPY when I received an email from Nina from Designs By Nina D, inviting me to be a Surprise Sweetie over at the {Cupcake Inspirations} challenge. Of course I jumped at the chance, all be it a little nervous to do so to join in with the FABulous DT.

This weeks Challenge #327 HERE is a theme challenge & the theme is LACE. 

This theme scared me a little as it is so girly and pretty, something I seem to struggle with! This is what I created based on the inspiration above...

I used a Papertrey Ink Decorative Doily Die as my 'lace' and as I still had the Flower Power #6 clear stamps on my desk they were inked up again with Pretty Petunia and Spring Pansy VersaMagic. I then fussy cut them out to decorate the side of the lace doily. The leaves are stamped in Aloe Vera VersaMagic. 

I couldn't resist using a little bit of NBUS on my card ;) 'The You Make Me Smile' sentiment is from the upcoming Uniko Release next week! I stamped the 'You Make Me' directly onto the the doily and the 'Smile' is stamped and fussy cut out. 

There is still time to join in on Darnell's NBUS Challenge #5 HERE and don't forget Uniko is sponsoring the challenge and you still have time to comment on my post HERE to be in the chance of winning a stamp set from the upcoming Uniko Release.

Anyway, be sure to stop by the {Cupcake Inspirations} Challenge HERE to join in and also check out the amazing DT creations. 

I look forward to seeing what you come up with :) I hope you will stop by the blog tomorrow as I will be sharing a Sneak Peek for the September Release ;)

Until then, thank you for stopping by today.
