Don't you just love these images......

Morning Everyone,
It's so cold here today,yesterday it was raining and so dark it made crafting so difficult... I can't wait for sunshine and lighter mornings and evenings..I'm still working on my DT work for Crafters Companion and will be for a few more days,but I did manage to make this card in between again with an image that I'd coloured while on holiday last year..........


I would like to enter the following challenges........

Pixie Cottage - Sketch and/or flowers I went with flowers
Top Tip Tuesday - Flowers
Magical Monday - Flowers

Don't you just love these images so sweet,she has been coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador,,Then cut out with my nesties.....The papers are from the Hanoverian pad again,must get some more of these.......The border has been punched with my lacey leaf punch......





The ribbon is from my stash...The flowers are from Mulberry Crafts....The sentiment is from LOTV...and the butterfly is punched with an x-cut punch and gems put on the body.....Right think thats all for the card,off to start on my CC cards,but before I go have any of you got a Grand Calibur and if so what do you think?...my poor old big shot is slowly giving up and I need a new machine so any advice/thoughts would be get....
Also don't forget I have a fab candy running sponsored by Crafty Ribbons,check it out in the post at the top of my blog...
...Take care

Thank you so much for the beautiful card you sent for my birthday. It is lovely to see your work 'for real' and so nice to have lovely, handmade cards to display. The images you sent are so pretty and I can't wait to use them. I'm off this morning so looking forward to getting some crafting in then at work this afternoon.

Cute card and beautiful ribbon.
I like my trusty BS and would never consider a Cuttlebug. I know TH has come out with his Vagabond which is very cute, but I don't like the looks of the sides; they stick up so high that I am concerned they would get in the way. In the video I watched, it was electric, so that is another thing to consider. That's my two cents. Good luck with your decision.
