CES Challenge - mix and match

Hi Everyone, I am so late with my card for this week's CES challenge! I suppose it is better late than never! This week's Challenge theme has been chosen by the lovely Julie and the theme this week is Mix and Match. We want to see your creations using papers from at least two different manufacturers. I have chosen 2 of my new paper pads to use which arrived while I was away on my holidays and a new stamp I ordered before I went.

The yellow spotty paper I used is from the My Mind's Eye Rosy pad which is available here from Crafty Emma's store, the grey and yellow papers are from the Authentique Blissful pad which is available here.

I layered the paper up onto a scalloped edge card blank and added stitching and then stamped one of the new Simply Sassy images called Team Spirit and coloured her in in shades to match the papers. I made some pom poms from Baker's twine and stuck them on the image with my glue gun. I cut the image out with some of the new Xcut dies. I love them as the ovals and rectangles are a great size for stamped images, I find my nesties are sometimes a bit small. I added a die cut label stamped with a mini sentiment and 2 crochet flowers I bought on holiday.
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge for the chance to win a voucher for Crafty Emma's store.

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the DT. Have a fab weekend!
