Good afternoon to you all from a cold damp Sheffield. My card today is using one of my favorite images ching-chou kuik's Nostalgia. I know I don't colour these in the conventional way but I am so used to using pastel colours,maybe one day I will shock you all and colour her in vibrant colours. The  challenges for my card are
SWEET PEA STAMPERS   "A colour challenge Pink Green and Brown"
DIE CUT DREAMS  "Shabby Chic"
ONE STITCH AT A TIME   "Going Dotty"
THA CRAFTY PAD  "Give your project a punch"

The recipe for my card is
*Image- Sweet Pea ching-chou kuik's Nostalgia
*Colouring medium-Promarkers
*Backing paper- Jak Heath
*Fiskars punch
*Flowers- Wild Orchid Crafts
*Computer generated sentiment
Ribbon and gems my stash
I do hope you like it.xxx

I swear I made a comment on this card the other day but I do not see it! I apologize for not being right on with my commenting but I am going through some personal things and it is messing up my blogging life. This card is just beautiful, you know I adore these images and you have mastered them like a pro.

Hey Doreen

I know I already commented but your not colouring in the "conventional way" must give you that individuality and make it stand out from the rest, to see what on earth I am on about look here
