In honour of our special week and as it's also a 5 Saturday month we have a 

Guest Designer 

and this time we are delighted to welcome a LIMette who has contributed to practically ALL of those 200 challenges ... it's 

Viv 

(Daizy Mae) 

I layered some Pale Turquoise card over my White Linen base card.
I then added a few strips of spotty net,white embossed card and silver paper.

I stamped my Penny Black sentiment on more Turquoise card and added some

twine. I highlighted the first letter using my Glamour dust and quickie glue pen.

A few silver sequins completed my card.

Anne

This is a CASE of a card from a LIMette challenge a couple of months or so back, but I'm ashamed to say I can't remember whose card so I can credit her, please let me know if you're reading this!  Legs are from a Julie Nutting Prima stamp (the version I cased had a chap's legs in jeans), sentiment is by Magenta and the red Stickles came out again for the shoes.

Chrissie

Here is a really simple card. 

Black card base, white embossing powder, a little colour added to the champagne with watercolour pencils and given a little shine with Glossy Accents.

We managed to get half a dozen bottles of Champagne with a RRP of £25.99 each for £8 per bottle from Tesco... excellent value just in time for Christmas! It's probably what gave me the idea for this card.
