ABC CHALLENGE.....Z IS FOR Zzzzzzzz SLEEPING.

I've wanted to use this stamp for ages,when i saw the ABC Challenge this week was Z is for Zzzzzz sleeping i was over the moon,i love this image...how cute is she.

The stamp is by Alota and i've coloured it using both Promarkers and Prisma's,and i've also done alittle paper piecing too.

The paper is a free download from Cuddly Buddly which i've had forever...

The card is Core'dinations and the ribbon from stash.

I haven't used any embelishments or sentiment i rather like it the way it is....plain and simple.

Don't know why the paper looks more blue in the photo but it is actually more of a lilac colour.
Hope you're all ok,

Take care

I'm sorry to say that it's been a good few weeks since i last joined in with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.....i so love PB stamps,when i saw this weeks challenge was to make a round card i knew i had to join in....i've been meaning to have a go at one of these cards for a while now.
The image i've used is from the T for Transparent "Every Which Way",coloured with Prisma's and blended with Sansador.I've used some mini paper flowers where the flowers are on the image to give it some dimension.All layers cut using nesties,the top layer as been mounted on 3d foam pads to raise it slightly from the base layers.
The sentiment is also from the same "Every Which Way" set.
Ribbon from stash.
Another quick card....but i think its quite natty.
