The Pixie Cottage Challenge #14 - Buttons - Guest Sketch

It's Once Upon Wednesday time and for the second week in a row we have news for you!
Not only are we now on weekly challenges but every other week will have a Guest Sketch Artist providing the sketch for you! We've secured some of the most popular artists in the card blogging world to share their talents with us for One Week Only!
You won't be disappointed and every other week you'll be surprised with a new Guest Sketcher!
Today we have our 1st guest, a very talented sketcher, it's Priscilla from the super popular Midnight Madness Challenge Blog.
We know how many people love her sketches (I for one try to play every week) and so we thought you'd like to have an extra one of her creations to play with this week.

The sketch, exclusive to The Pixie Cottage this week, is:



Not only did she create a sketch for us but she made this fabulous card using one of the latest Pixie Cottage stamps, Hannah With Butterflies by Sandra Hammer



If you'd like further details on how she made the card and show her a little Pixie Cottage love you can find them on her Art blog Priscilla Styles After Midnight and if you'd like to play on both challenges this week, and who wouldn't?, remember to check out her Midnight Madness Challenge Blog.


Along with the fabulous sketch for this challenge we'd also love to see you use some Buttons on your creation. Remember you can choose to play with the sketch, the product or both!
One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
Winners will be announced on the Friday following the end of the challenge.

At the Pixie Cottage we are changing things up a little and are now going to be offering challenges every week!
Also we are changing to a "Take Your Pick" style challenge. We will give you a sketch and a technique/product/theme and you can chose to do one, the other or both!
This week's sketch comes from Senior Team Member Pam.


Along with the sketch we have the technique of Embossing, wet or dry, so please play along with the sketch, technique or both!
Remember you can use any stamp company you like but if you have some Pixie Cottage stamps we'd love to see what you can do with them.
Please remember also to only link to the direct post of a NEW creation, no linking to posts before the date of the challenge please.
Also note that you must link back to the Pixie Cottage blog to be in with a chance of winning or placing in our Top Three.
As we are moving to weekly challenges the Top Three and winner will now be announced on the Friday of the following week, thanks for your understanding.
One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.

This is the first time you will have seen creations from the new team and I hope you can spend a few moments to give them a little love.
