A Paper Smooches Sugar Rush

Hi Everyone,

It's Paper Smooches time again .... I could perhaps continue this every Wednesday (hmmm scratching head, deep in thought) .
Today's card, which is live on the PS blog now, is made from the Sugar Rush stamp set and Kim's shopping cart template , to make a trolley dash you can only dream of.....

I really enjoyed paper piecing all the sweet treats before using the re-sized template to make the front and back of the trolley. 

I cut a wedge out of the template to make a basket shape in the cart and used acetate for the front panel which I stamped with a grid to give the impression of wire mesh.

I've used the milkshake from the set to make the go-faster clouds behind the wheels and a flag carries the sentiment. 

I just couldn't resist stamping smiley faces on the tumbling sweets and I'm in love with all those bright colours on the Kraft base ..... I hope you like it too :)

Now onto the last Paper Smooches stamp set giveaway and this week I've got a sentiment set to give away called 'Word Up' which is a very versatile set to own :)

To be in with a chance to win simply leave a comment on this post and I'll randomly draw a winner next week on my final PS Guest Designer post along with the other two sets which you can still enter for here and here .

For more creative inspiration hop over to the Paper Smooches website, I'm sure Kim would love to see you there ... I'm going to pop over and enter this card into CASual Fridays too as the theme is sweets and treats this week, and this certainly fits that theme :)

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on my slinky dog last week, it means so much to me to read your kind words.

I have tried to visit as many of your blogs as possible but if not then please know that I really appreciate you taking time out to comment on my creations :)

Bye for now and good luck in the giveaways X 

LIM is all White.....

........ as Jonathan Ross would say, but whilst it is an excellent challenge blog I was referring to this weeks requirements to use "white on white" on your card .

So many ideas in my head for this one but I decided to settle with  paper cutting to make a couple of Calla Lilies

I used a template from a magazine cutting , I have a whole folder of cuttings for ideas and templates , I traced the shapes onto the card using an embossing tool so as not to introduce pencil lines at all and cut them out . I used a mini mister to dampen the card so I could shape it and then assembled the pieces on the card . The sentiment had to be second stamping with black ink so as to soften the ink colour and the background is embossed using a cuttlebug folder using Mandi and Chrissie's tutorial this week .

I have to say there are some stunning entries this week and the page of thumbnails over at LIM is quite something to see , I never realised how many shades of white there are :)

I also want to say thank you to all my lovely followers and people who comment on my blog , I really appreciate your kind words :)

Thanks so much for visiting me today X
