Hi Everyone,
At last I've got something to show you,I must admit it's taken me two days to make....I started with really good intentions Thursday to try and spend some time crafting,well you know what happens to best laid plans,Katy not being well and in bed so up and down checking she was ok,friends delivering cards and pressies...Relatives and friends ringing to see how everyone is in hospital,go to hospital and well the day was gone..So yesterday I started again and yep another day of interuptions....
I needed to make my DT card for Pink Gem Designs,but decided to make a Tissue Box cover (Instructions on Splitcoast Stampers) for My Great Neice for her bedroom using the new Ellie with snowdrops stamp.......Pink Gem Designs have fantastic bargains at the moment like nestabilities at only £15.95 until 2011 so pop over and check them out and all the other fabulous things.....
I've used Promarkers to colour Chloe....The colours I used were...
Skin - Ivory,Blush,Dusky Pink
Hair - Primrose,vanilla,palest yellow
Grass,stems......Pear green
Coat,boots,hairband - Dusky rose,rose pink,pale pink,baby pink
All the pink card came from the Crafty Gallery and the green glitter card is from my stash......
The flowers have been punched out with Ek success Retro flowers and I used distress ink around the edge of the large ones,then used a woodware punch for the centre,then put a gem in the middle of all of them...
I used one of the Go-Kreate dies to make the panels on the side and for the frame around the opening on the top......
Don't forget I have two fabulous candies running at the top of the page,take a look if you would like to win some fab Promarker pens or a set of Go Kreate Dies worth £65 to cut out gorgeous shapes......
Well that's it I think,it's snowing really hard here and I wanted to try an get some bits done for Christmas,so we are going to venture out luckily we have a 4x4 so shouldn't be to bad...Then I might try to finish another project a bit later....Hope you all have a lovely day and please stay safe,catch you all later...

Hi Mandy
What a lovely pressie, love those Go Kreate shapes and that sweet image. Marianne x
This is gorgeous Mandy, this little Chloe was my favourite from the latest release, she's adorable. Love the colours you've used and the shaped dies add a special touch.
I really must try to be more adventurous and not just stick to cards, cards and more cards!
