very sweet and talented
Hi it's Annie here and I am so pleased to be hosting the Challenge for the next two weeks. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember, I love trying new things, I'm not an expert at anything but I do really enjoy trying new techniques out.
I love receiving cards with words on the front of them ...so I have chosen WORDS....It's all about the sentiment as the theme for this challenge. The words can be a lovely sentiment, a favourite poem or just a funny phrase which suits the person you're making it for.
I look forward to looking through your entries and visiting your blogs so go on please just make me smile, laugh, or even make me cry with some words on your card.
Our sponsor this time is Live and Love Crafts so maybe you could add some of their beautiful embellishments too. Hope you enjoy this Challenge!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 152 - Thankful

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!
********
 
Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our
very sweet and talented
Lozzy
 
Hi everyone it's Lozzy here to host our new challenge!
I have been Crafting now as my hobby for about 5 years and love every minute of it. My main passion is card making using rubber and digi stamps as I love to colour. I mainly use Spectrum Noir pens but do have a tendency to use my Pro Marker pens for a change as you get different results with the different pens. I'm still learning a lot of crafty things like using distress
inks and mainly embossing powders which I still need a lot of practice with but the saying is practice makes perfect. I try and vary my designs from CAS, Frilly and Flowery to a bit on the darker side but it just depends on when I look at an image to what I am
going to do.
For my card I have used one of our sponsors images and this beautiful image is from Fresh Brewed Designs called Flower Fairy.
 
 
 Lozzy
has chosen the Challenge
Thankful
 
 Here is the beautiful card that

Lozzy has created with Fresh Brewed Designs

Oh Lozzy, Your card is beautiful!
It's so very dainty and feminine with the pretty lacey heart background!
Your die cut flowers and butterflies are lovely and
you have colored your FBD flower fairy beautifully!
I love how you have created the die cut flowers and leaves
to match your coloured flowers and leaves in your image!


Lozzy will be choosing the
Top 5 winners
for this challenge!
