Good Morning, and Happy Weekend! :)
My card today is for our new challenge over at Sweet Stampin, where this week our theme is 'Mothers Day or Special Lady', so a cracking chance to get out those girly stamps, papers and embellies! We are sponsored this week by
and our Monthly sponsor is
The DT were all sent some fabby laser-cut embellishments from Hobbycutz to play with (Thank you so much Kobie!) and I have to say I loved mine! The toughest choice was deciding which ones to use :)
I decided to keep this card relatively simple and just layered some gorgeous DoCrafts Vintage Notes papers (Thanks Nic!:) ) onto Kraft card and added Memory Box dies and mini doily dies by Cheery Lynn.
Now the image, well......... 'Dont look Ethel - as my mum used to say!' lol. This little cutie was the 2nd image I tried to colour with DI's last weekend and again,
it ended up in the bin. I am finding DI's a real learning curve! Hubby
fished this out of the fireplace and said,
'Well its not perfect, but its not
that bad either',
. . . . . so there you are, I have used it! Anyway, we cant all be
perfect at everything - :D LOL! Definately more practise on these methinks ;)
I hope you find time to join us this week, and thanks so much for visiting my blog today - have a smashing weekend!

I'm also struggling with my DIs but I'm determined to keep practising. I do find the painting relaxing, but yes, a few of mine are in the bin too. I think yours is lovely. Very sweet.

Well, I think it deserved to be fished out of the bin and if I could use my distress inks like that I'd be happy! Think I'll be sticking to Promarkers, sigh!

I can't believe you gave this one the toss and good for hubs for fishing it out - it's gorgeous Alison, nothing wrong with it at all. This is a great card and I love all those dies you've used and that butterfly is so great. I also like all the pearl accents.
beautiful card, I love the image and your coloring, all those details are fantastic!!!!
I'm glad she escaped the fireplace - he's right. Actually before I started to read your post my initial thought was that you'd gone back to ProMarker colouring. So..... love your colours in this with the pearls a lovely touch - especially on that heart & bow.
Take care with the weather & hope all the lads are OK.
