Recipe 28

Hiya, well welcome to the new Crafts 4 Eternity day, weve moved from Sunday to Friday, it gives you all weekend to get started on your project.
The recipe this week is
1. Use the sketch below
2.Add a tag
3. Use some foil, could be off an Easter egg.

I've used a digi from Spesch Designer Stamps called Mad Hatter, and coloured it with copics, K&Co paper, foil that I embossed with a cuttlebug plate then coloured the raised area with a copic pen, nesties, rub ons and bazill bling, I think the sentiment is Whiff of Joy and a bit of raffia on the tag.
Really enjoying being a GD for Crafts 4 Eternity.
