Good morning to all my lovely followers old and new, I seem to have gained a few more over the Christmas hols and it gives me such a lovely warm feeling knowing my work is appreciated, so big hugs to all of you : )
Rightyho then, on to my share for today, which is scheduled since I'm back at work this week ...BOO!...but have the day off tomorrow for New Years Day...YAY!.
I'm here with my Inspiration post for Dies to Die for and originally when I started this it was going to be a Thank You card, as I'm sure that lots of us have some of those to send out to say thank you for lovely Christmas gifts, but it ended up looking so spring like I thought I'd make it non specific as it could as easily be used as a Mother's Day or Easter card as a Thank You card.
I really love the way this one turned out so I do hope you like it, I've added links to items used at the end of the post.
These papers by Maja Design are just so gorgeous I had a hard time using them lol
I've used my absolute favourite Saturated Canary stamp, isn't she pretty? I've coloured her in Copics as usual.
Skin: E11, 00, 000, 0000, R20
Dress, tights and shoes: RV95, 93, 91, G85, 82, 00, BV00, 02, 04
Hair: E50, 53, 37, 35, 21
Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The narrow white lace is from The Ribbon Girl.
The inside is decorated with the same papers to complement the front, with plenty of space to write a message.
I do hope that you have a lovely New Years Eve, I'm hoping that next year will be a little kinder to me and mine than this one has been as 2013 has been a little hard on us for some things, particularly my Dad's health so hopefully it's onwards and upwards for this year coming.
Take care and I'll see you all in 2014 : ) xx
Oh wow this is awesome colouring and a scrumptious design.
