Hello girls. Great to have you visiting here today. I hope you find it an uplifting experience. I know I get a lot of inspiration visiting the blogs I visit regularly. I trust you will find something you like.It's still bitterly cold here although the snow has all but disappeared. there seems to be a lot of people with chest colds and there is also a sickness bug doing the rounds so I think being confined to barracks for so long hasn't been a bad thing. Reading your blogs there seem to be quite a few of you under the weather and I hope you all feel better soon.
I made this card to enter two challenges. Lili of the Valley who required a "Thank You" card based on one of their stamps and Charisma Cardz who wanted us to use "Anything New".
Well. I have inked up the LOTV stamp "Little Girls Swing Time" for the very first time and coloured it using my new Polychromos pencils. The papers are all Basic Grey "Granola" and the ribbon and embellishments are all from my stash. I also introduced some distressing to the papers to give a more textured feel to the card.
If you have anything you want to say about this card I would love you to leave me a comment. Your opinions are valued and I like to hear what you like and don't like about any of my cards. If by any chance you are leaving a comment for the first time I will call back to your blog to return the compliment.
Please have a good day and enjoy your crafting.
Hugs,

wow what a beautiful card so much work gone into it. stunning xx
ReplyDeleteThis card really has a warm feel to it, I don't know if it is the distressing or the combination of the papers and image but I really do like that feel. I am not a fan of distressing and have not yet successfully managed it myself but because this card feels so warm my eye wasn't immediately drawn to the distress.
