Good morning girls. I haope that you are all well out there in blogland. A very warm welcome to my wee space on the Web. I hope you enjoy your visit here. Please feel free to browse as much as you want, I love sharing my little craetions with you and I hope they may even encourage you in your own crafting. The weather is definately making an attempt at improvement - we even got up to 6 degrees C today and the remnants of the snow in the garden is beginning to succumb.I made this card for two challenges. The sketch was found in Penny Black's challenge blog and Allsorts challenge required a Mother's Day card. The stamp I used was Penny Black's "Allegro". I used Tombo Water Colour pens to colour the image. I "painted" the stamp with different shades of pink and green then spritzed it with water and quickly stamped it onto watercolour paper. The truth is I needed a few goes at this until I got what I wanted. The edges are deckled with scissors and I liberally applied stickles and sprayed some glamour dust although it doesn't show terribly well in the photograph. The papers are My Mind's Eye's Hip & Luxurious Basics "Lush Blue Diamonds" and Graphic 45's Baby & Bride Collection "Love is Blue".
The embellies are from my stash and the flowers are handmade.
If you like this card why not leave a comment letting me know what appeals to you. I appreciate it takes time but I really appreciate anything you have to say.
Enjoy your day and take care and thanks for calling in on me.
Hugs,
