Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a brilliant Christmas and Santa brought you lots of lovely crafty goodies. I wish you all a happy and healthy 2011. My goodness it’s been so long since my last post that I hope I remember what to do lol! I apologise for the long gap between posts but I was really unprepared for Christmas this year and what with the snow coming too I just didn’t have time to craft or blog. I hope my faithful followers haven’t deserted me
Onto today’s post and I’m sharing my card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge. We have a lovely sketch by Saphira to work with this week so I hope you can play along with us. Here is my card:
I have used a super cute image from a set of stamps called “happy days” from the Greeting Farm and although I’ve had this set for quite a while this is the first time I’ve inked her up (terrible I know as she is just so adorable). I have also used my new basic grey ‘marjolaine‘ paper pad, which is gorgeous.
The rest of the design team have created gorgeous cards once again this week, so I hope you have time to pop over and check them out. We really appreciate your comments and we love to visit your blogs and see what you’ve created.
I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Awe this is so cute, thank you for joining us at I ♥ Promarkers.
ReplyDeleteSo much to comment on. Okay, first of all - I forgot to say in another comment that I LOVE your New Year's image - that party girl is having a great time and makes me smile when your blog appears.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, wowza - what a cute card! I love that image but I also really like that you chose non-girly colors (normally I am all about the pinks) but I think that sometimes we forget that girls (tall and small) love other colors as well and you chose very pretty ones. The coloring is great, I really need to practice mine to get better - people who do it so well like you inspire me!
Finally, THANK YOU for participating with us at Opus Gluei, this is perfect for our challenge!!!
Cute little card - love the sparkle
