Today's card is one my daughter asked me to do for a work colleague that is leaving. I looked all over for a digi that was suitable but couldn't find one for someone leaving work but I found this one that I guess is for someone going away on holiday or a trip:
Seem to have taken this picture from a funny angle! The image is a Lilyboo design from Cuddly Buddy and I have coloured her with Copics and Prisma Pencils. The hair was supposed to be a dirty blonde but looks more like a red head don't know what happened there! The papers are Nitwits "Time for Tea" and the sentiment is computer generated. I have used Spellbinders for the matting and banner. Gems and ribbon are from my stash and the resin flower is from Teresa's My Crafty Heart (free p and p this weekend). Quick peek at the inside:

I have just been blog hopping (as you do in the early hours) and seen on Dawny P's blog about the poor children in Africa that have nothing and when they are born they are sent home in newspaper so they are called the fish and chip babies. Dawny P is asking for people to knit a very simple all done in one piece cardigan and a beanie hat for them. The pattern is on her blog with the details here, you should be able to knit it in an evening even if you are not that proficient a knitter.

This is so cute .... Love that wonderful Nitwits paper & am going to download it as soon as I get home. Your coloring is wonderful & I really like how you colored her dress such a pale yellow. I have a terrible time getting my colors light enough, especially the yellows. Would you know what Copics you used to get such a beautiful pastel shade. Perfect card for someone leaving & she's going to love it.
Hugs, Janie
