SIMPLY ADORABLE - GRACE

Just one more from me today.  This time we have a card using the lovely Sugar Nellie digi stamp - Simply Adorables 'Grace'  I never tire of these images!  I think this card would be suitable for almost any occasion, and certainly for someone special.

I have used a mixture of things from my stash for this card, I have not a clue what the papers are, the flourishes which I have used in abundance are Sizzix.  I bought these from EBay.  In addition I have used doily,Cheery Lynn doily die-cut (EBay) Nesatilities, Martha Stewart punch for the leaves and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The lovely little heart buttons are from stash as is the ribbon.

TILDA WITH SNOW HEART

Morning everyone,

Well I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  

Today I have another  Christmas card topper using this lovely image by Magnolia, Tilda with Snow heart.  Isn't she just lovely!  I have coloured her with copics and promarkers and added lashings of stickles.  The papers are the lovely Tim Holtz and the showflakes are Cuttlebug die-cuts which I have embossed with swiss dots.  The pearls, cheesecloth, poinsettias and charm were all from EBay.  I worked to a lovely Skektch for the Sketch Saturday Challenge and although I had the card topper made in time it had got dark on me so I could not photo it.  So I missed that one.
