Anyone up for a Challenge?


I seriously lost my mojo the last couple of weeks but managed to get it back by doing not just one challenge but 2 challenges in one card!  PHEW!  It was a struggle, the layout took 3 tries but Im (almost) happy with the end result... 
First here are the challenges...

These are both oldies but I visit these (and a few others) regularly for inspiration and some of the completed cards are awesome.... take a look if you ever get stuck...

Heres my card...

And a close up on the detail for you...
Do you see how I stamped and cut out her dress from Designer Paper?  Pwetty!

Recipe
Stamp: "Little Miss Attitude" by Suzanne Woolcott
Ink:  Black Stazon and SU Markers
Cardstock: All SU! Taken with Teal, Pumpkin Pie
Papers:  SU! Bashful Blue DSP
Scallop and plain ovals from Nestabilities, ribbon from stash.  American Crafts white gel pen. 

Seriously reminds me of my daughter I can tell you!  Ive been asked by a few people when I was going to update the ol'bloggage... Its nice to know you are all still looking...  As always, COMMENTS are gratefully recieved... YOU tell ME what YOU want to see!

It is good to see what you can do with SU markers...are you also using a blender pen? Love it and it does look like your princess!!! xxDottie

Oops! I always forget to list the blender pens... Yes, I colour on a stamp box or acrylic block and pick up the ink from there... Extra dark shadows I add at the end with the writing end...
Not long now Dottie! xx
