Sketch Saturday #77: Sweet November 'Buttercup Reedweb'

It's Saturday again (yay!) and time for a brand new sketch over at Sketch Saturday!  As it's the 2nd Saturday of the month, this challenge is being sponsored by one of our regular sponsors - Simon Says Stamp!

I'm going to keep this post short, as I am still in a huge amount of dental pain.  I went to have my lower right 2nd molar extracted on Tuesday, but after a lot of pulling and tugging, the dentist decided not to extract it for fear of damaging my jaw (my jaw is a bit odd coz I can't open my mouth fully without my lower jaw moving weirdly and the hinges clicking loudly, and the pressure she was having to apply to wiggle the tooth free made it feel like she was going to break my jaw!). So she has referred me to have it extracted under general anaesthetic (hopefully in a couple of weeks!).  Unfortunately I now have all the pain of an extraction, but the tooth still remains, which makes it almost impossible to bite! On the upside, I've had to stop biting my nails, plus it's given my long overdue diet a kickstart, as all I've been scoffing is Heniz tomato soup!

Anyway, onto my card...  I was lucky enough to win one of Amy Young's mini candy draws a few weeks back, which was one of her brand new Sweet November stamps, plus a card making kit she put together.  So I tip my hat to Amy for this card - thanks hun!

This stamp is called 'Buttercup Reedweb' and is one of 4 in the 'Sweet November' range of stamps designed by Amy for C C Designs.  You can buy them as digi stamps from All That Scraps right now by clicking here, or if you prefer rubber then All That Scraps stocks them here, or Elaine at Quixotic Paperie has them in stock here for us Brits!

Obviously, I had to glitter up her wings!  I used my scallop circle nesties to cut out the circle of kraft card and then ran it back through the CB in an embossing folder, finally inking the embossed parts with one of my trusty Versamagic Dew Drops.

Okay, well that's it from me (sorry, this post wasn't that short after all, LOL).  Make sure you hop on over to Sketch Saturday and take a wee looksie at all the DT's scrummy work - you won't be disappointed!

Hugs, Sem x
