...well hey there little lady!!


A nice warm cosy card for a cold morning...did somebody say snow...?

I like the blanket pattern. Made with the blanket border from Way out West - I love the tattered flower which came on a package I got from Carly Robertson!!! (; ) I love the wee scrunched leaves made out of leftover bits of paper doilies sponged with Antique linen distress inks...

Just wish I had coloured all the borders with that nice plum coloured copic - like the bottom border - I think it would have been stronger...ah well...you live...you learn....

Stamps - Way out West
inks - memento Rich cocoa - Antique linen distress ink and the orange one...oooh what is it....wild honey....i think. And...Versacolour Heliotrope
copic - Lavender V06
card - cream from local craft store, nothing special...

    ooooh,Claire, THIS is what we have been missing the past few months--your creative takes on the lovely designs you produce.
    At the risk of sounding greedy, I'd love to see more of this.
    What a lovely, lovely card. This one was already on my "wish list", and it has just moved up another notch.

  9. Love this Claire! I'm very drawn to the blanket pattern. I love that you only colored in one border - it makes it stand out like a ribbon. And those doily leaves are dreamy.
