Should have gone to Spec Savers

Well that's what my husband said to me when he saw my attempt at some artful digital re-mastering!!  I was only trying to add soft edges to the thing and look what happened! The program I have seems to have everything but a simple soft edge so I've installed an old one I've found at that has soft edges - whew.  Actually I kind of like that picture I think I'll ask Dave to take a picture of me and use it - its gotta be flattering hasn't it?  Anyway here is a proper picture:

Mmm not sure which I prefer now!  Anyway the image is one of my new Lili of the Valley stamps that I almost lost last week.  I have coloured her with Copics and added True Snow and Glamour Dust to the snow on the ground.  To the falling snow I have used Pearl drops oops I mean Liquid Pearls (I think Pearl Drops is toothpaste isn't it?) and Glamour Dust to the Liquid Pearls.  The paper is my Papermania pad I found last week when I was looking for the stamps - so pleased with that find. The music paper is from Nitwits and I have distressed it.  I have embossed the metal corner and added flowers and lace from Wild Orchid.  Thanks to the fantastic Bev for her tutorial on attaching flowers, she is so helpful and has loads of video tutorials including one today for making shrink plastic embellishments from dies and embossing them.  I've been experimenting with it - a work in progress I think, she makes it look so easy.  One more "arty" picture from me:
