A little pot of sweetness

I have been doing a lot of creating recently, and therefore not much posting....I can only do one or the other!.......so I thought I would spend a little time on this Monday evening posting a card that I made a little while ago.

It stayed in my possession for only about a day as it was quickly given to my niece for her birthday...it's a good job tat I take pictures of everything!

I was on a mission to use up some NitWits papers that I had printed during a printing frenzy some time back. The bottom paper is quite loud and so i decided to challenge myself and colour an image to match because, as you all know, I am usually a pastel girl!
I picked this lovely image from Sherri Baldy and used lovely bright colours to colour her in, using the backing papers as a pallet.

Finally, I used a distress pen to throw in some faux stitching and the dotty background......I hope they are not annoying little midges or my little girl will not be looking happy for too much longer!

I hope you like my card for today. :-)

A final word before I go - be sure to set record on C&C for Sheena Douglas on Thursday if you can. The fabulous Spectrum Aquablend pencils will be launching and Sheena will no doubt be showing us some fabulous techniques. These pencils are fabulous......now you know what was keeping me busy!
Enjoy the shows.  :-)

    Unfortunately, you have used a Sherri Baldy image which is not allowed and therefore your entry is not valid.
