A little bit different ............

I'm beginning to worry that perhaps cute little girl stamps are not for me, as the last few cards have been animals or creatures!!! Whoops, had better get my act together and get them inked!!! At the moment I need something that I can lose myself in so the more challenging the better!! Anyhow I coloured up this image months ago and as I have orders from Jenny to get them made into cards I thought I better had!! It took me all day today to put this together as I had nothing to go with it, so totally out of my comfort zone I created my own paper. Anyway not sure I like the result but Hey Ho it's a card!! I am going to enter this into the following challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Anything goes
Sweet Sketch Wednesday (still my favourite challenge, thank you ladies for giving me inspiration)
Paper Play Challenge - Sparkle Galore
Crafty Creations Challenge - May flowers


I have used Michele Marsdens Oriental Stamps set for the image and paper
Coloured with Copic Sketch and Ciao
Nestibilities and swirl Cuttlebug folder

Martha Stewart Daisy Punch

Wild Orchid craft flowers

Diamond Stickles
Glamour Dust
Glossy Accents
Pearls, Ribbon and Card from Stash


Hope you like it

Hugs Jo x

    Hi Jo, I love your card, you've coloured your image perfectly. You've used my very favourite embossing folder how I love divine swirls. Your backing paper is awesome. I love this card because it's something different. Great card and thanks for sharing with us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and good luck.

    Stunning work Jo. The handmade paper is gorgeous as is the image. It might have taken you all day but it was definitely worth it.
    You can stop the challenge I set you if you like especially if you are poorly and you are now beating me on the card making front.
    Hope to see you soon.
    Jenny

    What an elegant card Jo. I love your take on the sketch - especially with the image panel tilted and how the image extends beyond the panel. Lovely papers and embellishments just make this perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!
