PTT#79 Anything Goes

Hello everyone!  Today is Tuesday and the last day of the month which means it's time for a new Anything Goes Challenge over at Party Time Tuesdays but before I show my card for today I want to mention a special blog hop that is happening on the 29th of August.

As some of you may be aware one of our very own Party Planners Jen Scull is battling breast cancer so to put a bit of sunshine in her day, Katie at Paper Makeup Stamps has created a special stamp set to raise funds to be donated to Jen and her family and there will be a fabulous blog hop which all of you are invited to be part of.  For all the details and to find out how to join in please visit here.

Now onto my card.

I am using the delightful and recently new digi from Crafty Sentiments called Tess Summer Fun.  I first saw this image being used by Jo from Crafty Sentiments on one of her cards and thought it was gorgeous and was so excited when I found out that it was going to be one of the images we got to work with at PTT.

I have colored the image with my Tria Markers adding a little glitter with my Viva Decor Gold Glitter Liner and using my Viva Decor Pearl Pen to add to the yellow flower centres.  The bright and glittery papers are from the Citronella Collection by K & Company.  I have used some of these papers to make my own rolled rosettes.

At PTT this week we are once again joined by Creating is Fun, The Digi Garden and Viva Decor aswell as Crafty Sentiments as our sponsors.

I have created this card with the following challenges also in mind.

The Crafty Bloggers Network - Challenge #1 Anything Goes

The Paper Players - Challenge # PP106 - Tic Tac Toe -
I am using the top row across which is circles, birthday and favorite color.  To meet this challenge criteria my image is on a circle, and my rosettes are circles cut into spirals and rolled, I have used a birthday sentiment and my all time favorite color combo of pink and green.

Magical Mondays - Cocktails, Cupcakes and Cheer

By the title of my post I may have you all thinking I am indulging a bit too much for a Monday Morning, but alas no I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet this morning.  It is simply the sentiment I have used on my Birthday Card for the latest challenge over at There is Magic in the Air!

This week the DT got to play with the fabulous new Margarita Cupcake Image from Paper Cupcakes and Nina is kindly offering this image as a freebie for you this week. So you can use it to play along with our challenge this fortnight which is to use one of the two provided sketches to create your card.

For my card today, I have used the first sketch shown above and some yummy papers from a Carolyn Gavin Designer Mat Pad that I brought some time ago.  Using my Tria Markers and Kindy Glitz I have colored in the cupcake and paper pieced for some extra dimension.  Buttons and a strip of ric rac punched cardstock along with my computer generated sentiment finish it off. 

Be sure to pop over and take a peek at all the fabulous inspiration by the DT this fortnight including our July GD using the Margarita Cupcake.  There is lots of yummy cards for you to view and get you in the creating mood, so you can play along with us.

We are still in the middle of a winter here so this card now has me thinking of summer, and how we always tend to entertain in the warmer months with a BBQ and a few drinks.  It also has me wondering just what a Margarita Cupcake would taste like........would you be able to eat and drive?

Anyway enough of my daydreams I'd best be off.  I hope you all have a wonderful day full of cheer at the very least if it can't be full of Cocktails and Cupcakes too.

This week I am also entering this card into the following Challenges:-
