Garden Angel

Can you believe that it's Wednesday already?  The days are just flying by....you notice that this only happens in the good weather....never in those cold dreary winter months of January thru March.  I do so love to sit outside with my morning coffee, so I'd best be quick with this post! 


No digi image for me today, I've had this image stamped up for ages, but it just needed finishing.  It's coloured with copics, and then Prismas for shading, with lots of stickles for some added sparkle.

How about the nice big bow?  I made it by following Jak Heath's tutorial, and I'm really pleased with the result.  Thank you Jak! 

If you look close at the flowers, you'll see a couple of heart stick pins.  I've had them a while, but this is the first time I've used them.  It's amazing what you can find when you tidy up your craft area!  lol

Supplies used:
Image: hAnglar sTanglar - Flowers and Bees
Paper:  Basic Grey - Euphoria pack, cardstock
Tools:  Nestibilities die - inverted scalloped circles,
Other:  Corner embellishment from Wild Orchid Crafts, 
ribbon, pearls and flowers from my stash

Until next time..happy crafting, and have yourselves a wonderful day!
