Tiffany.....

I have tried something a little different on my card today.  I had an idea of what I wanted to achieve, but it didn't quite work out as planned.....does it ever ?!!

I wanted to stamp my image onto some mesh fabric and colour it, but the fabric soaked the colours up and it bled quite a bit, so after a couple of attempts I decided to just highlight one part of my image with a little colour instead.

I followed this weeks sketch on The Sugar Bowl and will also enter it into:

Pippi Longsocks.....

Isn't this little sweetheart adorable ?

Meet Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie.  She has to be one of my favourite stamps.

I've spent a couple of days in my sick bed this week whilst my list of jobs to do and cards to make has continued to grow.

I'm not entirely happy with this card, the sentiment doesn't look right to me.....maybe I shouldn't have stamped it straight onto my design papers.  But the hearts are meant to be skew whiff !!!

I'm entering this card into:

The Sugar Bowl #76 - Gayle's Sketch
Paper Pretties #191 - Ribbon or Twine
Truly Scrumptious #73 - Love and Hearts

My Time to Craft #172 - A if for Adorable
Bunny Zoe Crafts #20 - Picture Inspiration

By the Cute and Girly February Challenge - Love is in the Air
Pollycraft Challenge #125 - Favourite Things (mine is my Pippi stamp)

This image is Pippi Longsocks by Sugar Nellie

Coloured with Promarkers & some Stickles on the Wings

Papers are from the First Edition 'New Leaf' Paper Pad

Pearls are from Add Some Sparkle at the NEC
Sentiment is from Forever Friends

Ribbon is from my stash
