Merci Beaucoup

Hi there - mid week already, I swear someone is fast forwarding the clocks when I'm not looking! I can't believe its only a week and a half until we go on holiday!

Here is a card I made for Annie the other week she has received it now and this is the first chance I have had to post it:


The image and sentiment are from the new Pollycraft range.   I coloured the image with my Copics, Glossy Accents for the eyes and Stickles to the flower and sentiment.  The papers are Nitwits.  The flower is a Joy Crafts die with Card Candi in the centre. I hand cut the fishtail banner and cut and matted the image with Spellbinders.  I kept it very simple as it was going all the way to Australia so I didn't want a bulky card.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Digi Makeover Challenge - Anything Goes
Songbird Challenge - All Creatures Great and Small
Dream Valley - Animals


Thank you so much for coming around today I love our visits!  See you tomorrow, take care xx
