A couple of weeks ago Annie set me a challenge to create a bendy card...so I did!!
It was also the perfect opportunity to make something to support a couple of special challenges that are open at the moment.
It was really easy to do (just google bendicards...there are loads!!) so thanks for the shove Annie!!
This is what it looks like from above.
We all know that as crafters we have to get all the latest stamps, papers and dies (need I go on!!?) but what I didn't realize was that my Never Before Used Schtuff mountain also included digi stamps and magazine freebies too (shock horror!!) so I had a delve into the digi folder archive and used Surprise from Di's Digis and coloured the sweet little girls with pencils and blender. Purple is not my "go to" colour so that in itself was a challenge. Nevertheless I was really pleased with the result!! The sentiment was a magazine freebie and the centre of the flowers were pearled to echo the pretty flowers.
So, I am off to play at
Squirrel's Random Challenge - Friendship
Digi Choosday #36 - Shaped cards
Chocolate, coffee and cards #99 - Fancy and feminine
Di's digi designs - Use a sentiment
Thank you for stopping by and have a good weekend xx

Great make Sarah, an adorable image. I used freebies on my blog today too.....it's so easy to just keep buying we sometimes forget all the treasure we already have, especially the freebies! Hope you have a lovely weekend.

That shape is so effective Sarah, I need to check out how to achieve it. And of course love your choice of colours, image and flowers.

This is just amazing I love this design idea and so glad you found that sweet stamp it's so pretty a very lovely card love and hugs Carole x
It's lovely Sarah. Really beautiful image, and a GORGEOUS shade of purple. I have not tried one of these curved cards yet. How do you get them in an envelope, or do you need a box? It's great to see you join in at Squirrel's challenge too. You can't go wrong with purple!
Have a great weekend

Yay for you on accepting this bendi challenge. I'd say you've aced it. The purple is cute with the sweet kiddies, and love the flower bouquets too. You always have wonderful paper patterns, and was delighted to see you jumped over to the NBUS challenge. Hope you're having a great weekend with some nice weather. Big hugs & TFS.
This bendi card is cute, cute, cute... and then cute some more! Love the papers and the clever way you did the sentiment and little posies. Plus, those two little gals are adorable!
This is amazing Sarah - so cute and intricate at the same time!
