SPARKLES MONTHLY CHALLENGE

Prize: $10

Our talented Helen N has picked

More than one fold

I made a Birthday card fitting any kind of Birthday monster...

Used two digital images from PollyCraft. The sentiment is a freebie from Pysseldags (I think it was). Images are coloured with ProMarkers. I also saw that the pattern paper and image didn´t match each other when I put them together so I had to go over each dot on the pattern with a promarker to make it match. (note to self, don´t do that agian)

Please visit Sparkles Monthly Challeng for more inspiration from my talented team mates and come and play along!

Hi my name is Bren, I have been crafting since a very early age, and enjoy many forms of it,  knitting, sewing, papercrafts and gardening. Housework takes a backseat. Craftybren's  was born because a friend saw my embroidery on a card and asked if I made my embroidery to order, as she would like to incorporate onto her sewing. Although Craftybren's is mainly Embroidered Embellishments I have added to my range, as customers have  asked if I do certain things.
