Karleigh Sue Sexy Challenge - Its hot out here baby!

 Hi everyone I hope you are all well and happy. Welcome to my little bit of blogland ! 

Its the start of a new sexy challenge over at Karleigh Sue and the theme for this month is 

" Its hot out here baby"

As always we the DT have had some amazing digis to work with designed by Cheri the owner/designer of Karleigh Sue. So I would like to share with you a card that I have created using the FABBY Grill Master image and I hope that you like it! 

Here's how I did it!

I took a 5x7 card blank, covered it with plain yellow card from Rymans that I lightly inked around the edges with Dew Drop brilliance Rust Pearl ink.
The topper has been created by matt and layering some pretty peach pearl card and  paper patterned with cute little bunting. Next I colored in the Grill Master digi with a selection of Copics ( I really must remember to write down the colors that I use lol ) again I have lightly inked around the edges with the Dew Drop ink. The sentiment is matt and layered in the same way as the topper and handwritten by me. To finish I added an organza bow and some buttons to embellish. 
There are some aymaaayzing digis over in the store so if you like something a wee bit different, glamorous and sexy pop over and take a look at the range that is there ( new releases coming soon! ) and also the rest of  the Karleigh Sue collection you are sure to find something you like and more!
Why not pop along and enter the challenges for your chance to win the amazing prizes and a place in the top3!
