City Crafter Sketch Challenge

I can't believe how quick Tuesday comes around ... But here we are with a brand new challenge at City Crafter ... chosen and hosted for us by our lovely Linda  ...  this week is a sketch challenge and Linda has given us a great sketch to work with ...


Once again we are fortunate to have Lizzie Droege as our Guest Designer and Pixie Dust Paperie as our wonderful sponsors ...

It's my hubby birthday in a couple of weeks so I made this card for him ... he doesn't check my blog so it won't spoil the surprise 


I used the new Portobello Road papers from PaperMania ... not too girly ... and that lovely heart peg came from Stella ... My DH loves aeroplanes ... so I added this little charm ... This is the first time I managed to machine stitch around a circle without making a mess ...


 ... and just so you can see that I kept to the sketch ... here's the card without the 'Love You' tag on ...


Don't forget to pop over to the blog to check out the rest of the DT projects this week ... and if you have the time ... we'd love for you to play along with us ...

Till soon ... keep safe
