Hey Friend!

Hello to all my lovely followers and blog friends, I have taken just a tiny bit of my weekend to finish off this card after doing the whipper snipping and mowing yesterday then taking my little grand daughter to a fun day.  I'm worn out and I have to start packing for a work trip week away.  Now that I have my fabulous little netbook, I hope to be able to keep up the blogging while I'm gone.

I've had this little stamp for ages now, this is my first attempt at creating a card with her.  The gorgeous Cinnamon Sugar from Elisabeth Bell.  I read a profile of Elisabeth in one of the recent Whimsy magazines and realised that she's an Aussie!  A very talented one too!  I love her cottage cuties.

Sparkle

I recently took advantage of a fabulous sale over at Sweet Pea stamps and picked up some stunning stamps.  I've been colouring up some of the images and here is the first of them.

Ching-Chou Kuik's Radiant Butterfly, I've followed the colours fairly closely to what is pictured on the image for this one.  Love the way it turned out.  Sorry this pic was taken at stupid o'clock this morning under artificial light and her skin is really not that yellow!  It's raining here, still, I'll try another pic once daylight arrives!

Update:  Much better pic taken in a dull gray rainy daylight but it's better than the last photo!

This Photo below is still very yellow, but I wanted to try to show the spica sparkle on this image, she's pretty much covered in it!  I've added the copic colours used as well.

I've just finished a copic class with Mandi-Lee at Copic Me and I've learnt quite a lot that I had either forgot from my first lesson or wasn't covered.  Either way, it was the best investment of my time and a few dollars.

I am entering this card into the following challenges.
