Hey Miss Anya

This Anya is so cute. Can you just imagine her dancing in the 1920's in this flapper dress. For the background designer paper I use a page out of DCWV creme stack, the black is done in felt it adds a beautiful texture to the card. To top it off I added flower soft to the feather and the layers in the dress.
This is for day 7 designed by JessicaStamps: Flapper Anya Limited edition
Paper: Cream, black, DCWV la creme stack
Other: flower soft, copics, ribbon, flowers kaiser, brads

AArrhhhhh Missy

Hi,
I hope every one had a fabulous Christmas, we certainly did. It is rather quiet when all the girls grown up and we actually get up first. Nana( DH's Mother) arrived about 9am and we opened presents, after that DD went to Xmas lunch at her boyfriends. Grandma (My Mum) arrived at 11.30 and we had a nice roast lunch just the 4 of us. My family ( sisters & BIL's, nieces, nephews, partners and Kids) started arriving at 2pm, for afternoon festivities in the pool. My Daughter rang from Florida at 1am over there, 4pm here, she had just opened the presents we sent her and we passed the phone around so she could speak to every-one. hMmm can't wait until she is home again.
I managed to get some stamping done in between the visitors, today's card is for day 5 of the 12 days of sketches from the Greeting Farm I really like the way that this card has turned out, what girl wouldn't like a pink and black card. What do you think?

Flower Suzi

On the 4th day of sketches TGF gave me, this sketch of course. LOL The first time I saw this stamp I could just see the fluffy flowers on the ruffles, I used to have a jacket like this many years ago. I have been practicing colouring in the hair with my copics, I don't think I have the right paper as they tend to bleed a bit, but that does make it easy to blend.
