Pollycraft Monday Challenge - A lovely sketch, a freebie and some new releases!!

Good Morning Everyone! Did you have a good Weekend? It is back to the old routine for me today with Work after my week off in Dorset. I would much rather be popping out for coffee and a cake and a nice walk on the beach than going to work but I need to earn my crafting pennies somehow!

We have lots of exciting news for you today at Pollycraft. For starters, we have a fabulous sketch by the very talented Paula for our weekly Challenge, there is a freebie - Ferguson the Hedgehog - who I have used on my card and last but not least, Paula has released some adorable new images, including a brand new little Squirrel and some new Swings and Slides Spring images! Phew!! That is a lot for a Monday!

As I said, I have used today's Freebie for my card which I made using some gorgeous Echo Park papers from the Graceful pad which are available here from My Mum's Craft shop. The green patterned paper was a scrap from my scraps basket. I followed the sketch and distresses the edges of the layers before adding my stitching.

I added some flowers, a little bow and some gems from my stash and coloured Ferguson with my Promarkers, distressing the image with distress inks before removing it from the die.
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. Our sponsor this week is Bunny Zoe Crafts.

The winner of this week's Challenge will received a £10.00 voucher to use in the shop.

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of inspiration from the fabulous Pollycraft DT! Have a great Monday and make sure you check out all the new releases and pick up your freebie!
