I could not resist playing along with last weeks Wags'n'Whiskers Challenge to use ribbon, especially as I won this image in one of their challenges - what a buzz! I chose this image 'Love You Sis' as it reminded me of my girls. It is also the perfect stamp for my sister's birthday card, her birthday is not until June but I am working ahead so I can take then with me when I go home for a visit (41 sleeps Mum!) Now I have to add there is sheer ribbon running behind the embossed Nestie but it is not showing up - if you look closely you can see a slight shimmer - I will try and get a better photo in the morning!
How adorable is this image, I have coloured these gorgrous girls with SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen
They have been popped up on foam tape into the Nestie that has been
cut into squares, I have used the CAS sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (hello Girlz). Lacey happens to be this Weeks Bonus Sponsor over at MMSC...even more reason to use this image! I was also inspired by the Inspiration piece at The Shabby Tea Room - I love this new challenge!
I have shown a couple of different angles so you can see the dimension and those adorable gumboots - I would love some like that - how cool are they, they would brighten up any day and make gardening fun!!!
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's 'Wonderful Words' set - this is a favourite of mine - and is perfect on this easel card! I did have a lot of fun making this card, sometimes it is good to do something different - I am surprised at how much I love 'whimsey' but how could you not - these images are heart warming!

I will leave you with a photo of the Baked New York Cheescake with Sour Cherries that I made for my DD2's birthday yesterday - it is her favourite and definitely should be listed as a 'lethal weapon' LOL! If you ever come and visit I will have one waiting for you! LOL!
Thank you for looking and for the lovely comments you leave me....you are so encouraging and inspire me every day! God bless you!

That stamp is adorable, and I am in love with your coloring job. I can't get near such good effects with my chalk pastels. Thanks for playing along with us at The Shabby Tea Room.
ReplyDeleteOK...I nearly lost my focus on your card after seeing that lovely cheesecake! I love every element about your card Linda, but favorite has to be all the textures you have going on. Your patterns remind me of one who is a quilter...they can use lots of different things together and still make them work, just as you have done. Tracy
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
