a little bitof fun

 Morning (or evening depending on where you are) I hope you have had a great weekend. It has been freezing here this last week so we took the opportunity this weekend to spend some time at home which meant for me (as I was ahead with my DT work) that I could make a card just for the fun of it.

So last week Kellie had a sale of her unwanted stash and I picked up a cute Sweet Pea stamp. I love these images but I find they can be difficult to use as they are out of the normal for me. I have had some old Graphic 45 paper sitting in my stash for a good year now and I keep pulling it out to use but for some reason it never makes the cut and it goes back into the my pile. This time however I thought it matched the image really well so I took inspiration from the colours of the paper and coloured up my image. I love the green and brown together. I had so much fun colouring her up and for once I did not over agonise over the colouring and just let myself go. Now I should do this more often as I am happy with the end result especially how I managed to get the shadowing in for the nose to the eyes (hope you know what I mean).   Anyhow that is enough rambling from me now I will just show you my card.

I have gone very light on with embellishments for  this card as I just think the images are so sweet that it would be a waste to take away it by adding heavy embellishments. The white stamen I made myself after reading on how to on my blogging buddy Eulanda's blog.

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe - Lace

Craft us Crazy - use fav embillishment or use something new (ribbon my fav embillie and new stamp)

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - old supplies (my paper)

Stamp Something (happy 3rd Anniversary) - Anything goes

Paper Sundaes - Birthday

Moving along with the times 2 "B's" - bow, brown, butterfly, blossom

Cute card Thursday - its so distressing.

I will be back tomorrow with my first DT Card for Mad for Makers challenges.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time
