This will be my last challenge card for 2009 and I am entering this card for the Sweet Stamping Up # 6 Challenge.
Following a sketch this time and the prize for this are some really lovely goodies from Stamping Up.
She’s a really sweet image from Stamping up and I think they have or are retiring her which is a shame because she’s a cutie. Also used the punches and sentiment from the same company.
Cut out the image with a nestie, inked the edges and then coloured her in with my new Faber-Castell water colour pencils. It was a milestone birthday this year and Andrew bought be the complete set in a box and it’s the first time they have seen the light of day, they looked too good to use. Added a MS shell border to the papers then stitched onto card. Not usually a peel off person but thought she needed a bit of a lift so edged the paper with silver borders. Ribbon from my stash.
I think she really reflects the end of 2009.

Oh, this is just beautiful. I have never seen this image done in pinks and blues before, but it is just so sweetly feminine looking! It’s a perfect CAS card. So happy you could join in the fun this week at OCC. Hope to see you back with us again next week!
