Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 25 & Katharina's Sketch #27

This week our challenge theme was chosen by Helene at Alota Stamps who is once again sponsoring the challenge.
In the water!
As always a little flexibility is allowed in the theme, it can be in, on or beside water and the water can even be frozen i.e. snow or ice! We always look forward to your own interpretations!

There are two fab stamps up for grabs for one lucky person.... gonna keep my everything crossed lol!

This card is made using one of Katharina's brilliant sketches ~ sketch #27.

CS ~ stash, DP ~ freebie download from here, spotty dp Pink Petticoat, image ~ one of my new Joanna Sheen stamps coloured with twinkling H2O's and watercoloured pencils, Fluffy Stuff on waves, sentiment stamp ~ RAK from Jo, string ~ Poundland, shell ~ Cleethorpes market yesterday (Parents went on a day trip so sent a text asking for shells).

Managed to do some sewing on this one and rather than humping my big sewing machine out I remembered that my Mum had bought a small one from Home Bargains for £9.99! It only does a straight stitch, but its like a dolls sewing machine. So I've borrowed her's which generally means she wont be getting it back lol!

Also went to Poundstretcher today and found that they sold candles for £1 each! So I bought 5, like you do ...... of course I rang my MOT up and told her ... not! And I'm sad to say I've made another candle but this one is to fulfill an order....!
