Guest Designer for Quirky Crafts

Good morning/evening,

I am a guest designer at Quirky Crafts this week, they have such a great challenge blog. This challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish who kindly sent me this gorgeous Squirrel digi to play. They have a sale on until Halloween so now's a perfect time to check out their goodies.
As Quirky Crafts challenge is Autumn colours and Anything but a card, I thought I'd make a door plaque. I glued the papers down onto MDF and added the ribbon where the papers join. I coloured the image with copic markers and finished it of with a Flourish with a Bling tree and fence!

The tree, fence and pearls are from Flourish with a Bling

For more products or to find a stockist please visit Flourish with a Bling. If your favourite craft store doesn't stock our products feel free to pass on our details.

I am entering this door plaque into the following challenges:

A gem of a Challenge - Flowers

Today I've created a card using a few FWAB goodies - Lee's tree & grass, Trent's fence & sun (Up in the sky set), please visit www.flourishwithabling.com.au if you'd like to see more. We are a wholesale company but we may have a stockist near you (even internationally) and if your favourite store doesn't sell FWAB we'd love you to pass on our details.

I have used plenty of Flourish with a Bling so please see details underneath the photos (I have done a side on view also so you can see the different depths of the scene), hope you like it:

FWAB used:

Lee's tree & grass x 2
