Its my sons birthday tomorrow so I knew I needed to get myself out of my funk as he had asked for a homemade card, so that was the kick start I needed - slowly, I'm starting to feel like I want to do some colouring and making again - after a crafty visit to Janine I've come home and finished a card I started to colour there - she's always good at giving me a kick up the bum and telling me not to be so silly - lol. (Thanks hun x)
So here's my card:
The image is a Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers and fine glitter added to her wings. The papers are old freebies from a magazine matted onto cardstock from my stash. I haved added some die cut flowers and leaves (totally taking me out of my comfort zone - I love seeing flowers on other cards but I cant seem to get away with them!). Then added pearls and a little gem from my stash.
I would like to enter this into:
The Sugar Bowl - anything goes.
Simon says stamp- use dies, (die cut circle, flowers and leaves)
Thanks for reading and I apologise for not commenting so much recently on blogs, hopefully I'll be back on track :-)
