This week Alicia from Sheetload and Shortcuts is the sponsor over at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. It's an intersite challenge as the Sheetload team is also revealing the new issue. We were given some of the acetate and frosted blanks to play with this week. I have to say, I thought that I had really good acetate sheets until I got these in the mail. They are a wonderful thickness and emboss beautifully!
I used the Textile folder to emboss the clear card base and eliminated a layer as I really wanted to see through the card. I used my ink pads and waterbrush to color my image before mounting to the Raspberry Tart paper. My sentiment was trimmed closely and added without matting to my card. Two hot pink gems finish it off.
Be sure to visit the Cuttlebug Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team created. You won't be disappointed. You can also view the sketch. Sheetload is providing the prize this week - some wonderful card blanks. Be sure to leave your creation using the sketch in Mr Linky at the CBC blog. And visit the Sheetload blog too to see the new issue and what their team came up with using the same sketch!!
If you haven't taken the survey regarding the Cuttlebug and what you'd love to see in future releases, be sure to do so. Be sure to follow the blog too - one there are 1000 followers, more sneak peeks will be revealed and prizes will be given away!!
