Well good morning folks!!  I don't think the sun has decided if it's going to make an appearance today or not....hopefully it will as we are off to the zoo.

For this card I have used papers from The Sweet Shoppe, the image is from the Eline range at Cuddly buddly which I coloured with promarkers...and I did some doodling too.

A little bit of friendship...

Happy Sunday folks...well looks like it's back the the normal Scottish rainy weather!!  So I suppose that means crafting time...lol!!

I sat and coloured this little cutie last night however the dress is not quite the right colour however I think it still looks ok.

So the stamp is from Personal Impressions - A Bluebird's Proposal which I coloured with copics.  The papers are digi papers from The Sweet Shoppe...Oh I love them, they are so my colours!!  I layered each of the papers on to brown card, added some stitching and then also distressed each of the layers.  I added a piece of blue lace under one of the layers. I also added little pearls to each of the corners.  The flourish has been cut with my Magnolia fancy flourish die and the flower is a MFT layered rose...I added a pearl brad through the centre to hold it all together....then added a little ribbon to finish off.

Howdy folks....what a gorgeous day it has been today...I hope it stays like this especially tomorrow for the perfect end to the tennis especially when Andy wins...mon the Murray!!

So a friend asked me if I would make a card for her daughter who is going to be 13 years old, so there was special requirements...a bit of pink, long hair in a braid....and a bee....well think I managed them all and she liked it...phew!!

The image is from A Day for Daisies which I coloured with copics and shaded a bit with polychromos.  The papers are Echo park Country Drive....love these!!  The sunflower has been cut with a die-namics die.  The numbers were in my stash, so I just inked them up and added some glitter and finished with some doodling and pearls.
