Girly Card!

Hullo, Hullo,
Thought I would treat you to a non Crimbo card, I mean we are nearly at the end of January and those lil fleurs will be trying to pop their heads at some point!!
I will still be joining in with the Christmas Challenges so there will be the odd one but generally will be trying to churn out more general cards.
I dug out one of my fave Elzybells today and teamed her up with some Imaginisce twitterpatted papers, I love these bright colours they have a real summery feel to give you a lift - I dare not mention the S word as on last post I mentioned it and the very next day it S'd all day really wasn't expecting so much but luckily it disappeared just as quick. phew!
I have paper pieced her dress and cut around flowers from the papers to use as embellishments,
I even dug out some neglected turquoise and red ribbon to use, something I always tend to leave off as no good at doing bows, I really must practice this!
Hopefully I will get some crafting time this weekend as lots of lovely sketches to choose from, this card was made using the sketch from Sketch and Stash which worked perfectly with the challenge of Layers over at A Spoon Full of Sugar they both have some super DT cards, well worth a look.
Gonna have an early night tonight as decided to get fit (not fat!) this year so will be doing an aerobics class tomorrow morning - ooh I know I am gonna ache and will be sucking on those asthma pumps like a hungry bubba!!

Long time no see!

Hullo, Hullo,
No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I am still here just unfortunately had no time to play.
My crimbo card above believe it or not was for last weeks fab sketch over at Moving along with the Times, but like I said it was last weeks Doh!!!
As I had finished it off I thought you may like to see it anyway, there was an added extra of paper piecing so I paper pieced my little Elzy girls dress.
There is lots of sparkle on this card but being the David Bailey that I'm not!!! Unfortunately you see no sparkle :(

This is one of my new stamps from a new Christmas SU set called In the Spotlight - oh dear I am liking lots of the new SU catalogue will need to make a few hints for crimbo!!

I am hoping my cards will show a little better though as I have been given a few expert tips from the highly talented Kim Piggott so fingers crossed they will seem a little more pleasing to the eye rather than blurry. (thanks Kim :)x)

There you go!!

That's a little more clearer than normal - remember practice makes perfect!!

Hope you like my creation for the day and hope to be back soon!

Loving all your creations at the mo!!!
