I found something new...

I've been making cards for a few years now so I have lots of images, but it's always exciting to find a new artist.  Even better when they get you started with a few freebies!  Thank you Sheri.


So, what do you think of this image by Sheri Baldy....isn't she adorable?  Having 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters, it takes me back to when I could shop for little frilly dresses....and they would even wear them!  This year we'll be looking for a grade 8 grad dress...they grow up so fast.

Once again I've coloured with copics, and then I've gone super feminine with the card design.  The dies used are Spellbinders Lacy Ovals and Decorative Labels Eight.  All edges have been sponged with DI, and you'll see some little tiny dots made with a glitter pen.  That's it, except for the bow.

Thanks so much for visiting, and I hope you liked my card.

Now, for some challenges...be sure to check them out too!
