CES Challenges Mix and Match


Happy Saturday all!  It's time for our new challenge at CES Challenges and this week's theme has been chosen by ME!!  And that is to use papers made by at least two different manufacturers.  If you play along with us you could win a yummy £10 voucher (excluding postage) to spend in Crafty Emma's on line store.  Emma has loads of new gorgeous papers in stock at the moment too a couple of which I've used in my card.
I had actually made another card but I wasn't very happy with it, and was even more unhappy when I saw the fabulous makes by my teamies at CES Challenges.  So went away last night to make this card, using the stunning Authentique papers, Unknown, and the MME papers Lost and Found - I tell you they are gorgeous!! 
My image is a super new one from Mo's Digital Pencil called Big Shoes, isn't she lovely - you can find her here at Mo's!! I've coloured her with my Promarkers AND some of the new Flexmarkers from Letraset which I was very lucky to be sent a sample of and I have to say they are fantastic.  The new brush nib is awesome and they are an absolute delight to use.  Can't wait till the rest are available in the shops as I will be first in the queue!!
I've also used some Websters Trim and Cherry Blossoms which are from Emma's store as well as the papers.  The little rolled roses were made with a Marianne die and the sentiment is Fiskars.
I followed a fabbie sketch over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp so am entering it into their challenge!
Well, that's all from me this morning.  I am so definitely going to catch up with visiting you lovely bloggers today/tomorrow.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate the lovely comments I receive, especially when I don't always seem to find the time to comment myself.
Thank you!!!
