Come and join us for a cook up !

Good morning to you all, I hope you are all well and feeling good and ready for another recipe challenge with Katie.

Yes it is wednesday again already - it seems that the weeks are moving by quicker than ever - although spring and summer still seems like a long way off here in the uk !

Well this week katie is challenging you to;

Choose a sketch from another current challenge
Add some texture
Finish with a Punch!

My card uses the fab sketch over at card patterns. I really love this sketch and will be keeping it to use again - flipped over and on the side too.
My texture element comes from the card base itself which is ribbed and also the velum which I stamped with white ink and paper pricked to add even more texture. Actually in real life the velum looks way more sheer on this card but seems to have photographed whiter for some reason !

The gorgeous image is from our super sponsor this week gingerloft digital stamps and I just love the old style romance it depicts and it made me want to try ANOTHER new style for me so I was going for more of a collaged feel with this card not too sure if I quite did it but I quite like it anyway !

I love the papers which were a freebie kit from Two peas called All u need I am lovin the kits over there at the mo - so many kits so little time ! I really wish I could digital scrapbook but I have no idea where to start and I'm pretty sure that I would end up throwing my laptop in frustration !!

Back to my card and I really wanted to add a red rose but didin't have any so inked up a white one that I had in the cupboard and like the contrast it gives. The last ingredient I needed to add was of course a punch - enter my trusty little MS butterfly punch and more velum.

I do hope you like it and will join in with us at Cooking it up with Katie this week x
