Basic Grey # 9 - A Sketch By Tara G.....



Good morning folks!

Welcome to this week's Basic Grey Challenge where we have a delightful sketch to follow from my lovely Canadian teamie and namesake Tara. The great thing about this one is that you can keep it nice and simple if you like and not add too many embellies (although I couldn't help myself, hee hee). Check out the stunning creations the other girls have come up with and the vast array of Basic Grey papers and products they've used...... oooh and the wonderful prize up for grabs which has been generously donated by Simon Says Stamp!

My papers are from the gorgeous Wassail range released last year and I have use Mo Manning's adorable Bismarck image as my centrepiece. You might just pick out the beautiful lace I've added too, which was a recent purchase from Tab's store..... she has some gorgeous flowers and lace and delivery in the UK is just a pound!!! I coloured my image with Polys and added lots of sparkly stuff. Finally I cut some snowflakes and added faux stitching to the layers.

Hope you're having a fab weekend whatever you're up to.... I think I'm going to make some very simple Christmas cards later to stock up my pile, otherwise I'll fall way short of what I need. Oh and I promised myself I'd get them delivered early this year too for a change, lol!

That's all from me..... have fun today ;o)

TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx
