Good afternoon fellow crafters and bloggers,
It's been a while, so I thought I'd better catch up. I don't know how I found the time to work before I retired, it's great. Talking of retiring, my lovely friends took me out for a fab meal last Friday and presented me with the most wonderful gift. A Pandora bracelet and charms. It made me realise what a lovely bunch of people I used to work with, so to say thank you I decided to make some special cards, starting with todays.
It's a saturated canary digi stamp called 'Whispy'. Isn't she lovely. Krista is a very talented young lady, go take a look. I coloured her with promarkers and added some glamour dust to her wings to make them sparkle. She was then mounted with foam onto a spellbinder grand big oval scallop, which has been layered onto a faux mat using coredinations cardstock. I'm pleased with the colour match, it matches Whispy's dress perfectly.
The spellbinder floral flourishes and the daisy flower topper were made with the same cardstock and the backing papers and border are from my tatty ted cd. Add a HUGE bow and a Hunkidory sentiment and there you have it. It reminds me of a strawberry and vanilla sundae, or am I just a bit strange.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges :-
Panpastells UK Challenge - Use a digi.
Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog - Anything goes.
Fab N Funky Challenge - Cute n girly.
