DT Sukkersött Challenge #59

Another friday is finally here - and I'm off work, for the whole weekend! Yey!!!

Well, friday means Sukkersõtt time, and we have a new challenge ready for you in the Sukkersott blog! For this Challenge #59, we want you to make/use an image split in 4-9 "inches", on your project. One "inch" is about 2,5 x 2,5 cm, in norwegian measures.

If you need som ideas how to begin - just take a look at the DT's great work this week ;)

Everyone in the DT got sponsored with a bottle of Shimmerz Spritz from Shimmerz Paints, so if you click on the pics to get them bigger, you can see that the panels and the flowers on my card, are shimmering ;)

And when my card turned into this "Shabby Vintage" style, I also decided to take part in the Kort Cup #2, where the theme is Shabby Chic or Vintage ;)
