BONJOUR

Today I have a card to share with you and to enter into some challenges.  I have pulled out all the stops on my design for this creation, I really hope that you are liking what you see.

I have used an image from Sherri Baldy img 009, I have had this little beauty printed off for some considerable time just waiting for the right moment to use her and I think this is the moment.

I have coloured her with both Graph It Markers and Copics, I have gone for a French theme using the 'Sweet Paris' papers from Dovecraft, the frame and Eiffel Tower MDF elements come from the same range. I have distressed the edges of the papers with my scissors as I can't find my little scrapper thingy.

I doodled a frame around the image and added some liquid pearl drops, other items I added are, frilled lace, doily (from Sweet Paris range), tissue paper, flowers, resin rose, seam binding bow, Frantage, and sentiment, I think that is all of it, lol.

Below are a few other pictures showing details of my design  

The challenges I would like to enter this card into are as follows:

I would like to reiterate my 

MERCI

A NEW DAY DAWNING

Hi all, today I have a card and some wonderful news to share with you my dear friends and followers.

My card share for today is a card for Christmas featuring a Sherri Baldy Bestie Image No: 0282, I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and gone for a vintage sepia style.

I have used a 7 x 7 black card for the base the papers are LOTV, the circle I cut out with my EK Success circle cutter, I have added some cream and gold pearls, gold bow, black mirri card holly, Cosmic Shimmer Gold PVA glue, flower and stamped sentiment.

SERENITY

I chose the title for my post because I felt quite peaceful while colouring this beautiful image and actually making the card up hence the title 'Serenity'.  

My card features one of the newer images from Sheri Baldy called 'Garden Nellie Lil Dollies', I just love her hat I would love to have one like that.

I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and tried to go for a soft look, the gingham card stock is from Anne Marie Designs, the papers are from my stash, I have added lace, ric rac brown ribbon, flowers, pearls and sentiment.  I think the card looks so much better in real life, I have 3 photos of her to show her off in all her glory.
