Delightful Thursday

Hello and a big welcome to my blog!  This week its time to take a look at the Digital Delights Blog where we are showcasing some of the fabulous images available at the Digital Delights Store.

I have used the super cute Helga Frightner available here.  I coloured Helga with my Copics adding Stickles to the cats teeth and some Glossy Accents to her crystal ball.  The sentiment is from the Wicked Sentiment Set available here and the papers are from the Howling Halloween paper set which is available here. I cut the sentiment out with Spellbinders Nesties and mounted it using a scalloped circle Nestie.  The ribbon is from my stash.

Thank you so much for looking......

I would like to finish by saying thank you so much for the comments that people have been leaving.  I know for last 5 months I have been a really poor blogger following a huge upheaval in my life.  To be honest my heart has not been in crafting or blogging at all but I really appreciate the comments that you have so kindly left me.  I am still really deflated and down but I hope that within the next few months I can start to get more pleasure out of my crafting and get back into it.  A huge thank you to my family and friends who have been so supportive during this devastating time for me, huge hugs to everyone xxxxx
