Something Girly

My, how the summer flew by!  I think it was because I was so busy this year.  I managed to get a lot of maintenance done, some of it contracted, but a good bit I did myself!  And, of course, the gardening.  Some good times were had with visitors from England, back in June.  But then my father-in-law passed away in August, and now my father is in the hospital, and for some nine weeks already.  The times...they are a changing....


On a happier note, here I've made a birthday card, using a pretty image from Saturated Canary.  Copics are the colouring medium today, though I've edged the image with silver metallic ink and some sparkles.  For the pearls in her hair I have used liquid pearls.

A simple card design made with the help of some cutting dies, and a few gems. 

Dies used:
Spellbinders die - Labels Eighteen
Joy Crafts die - Lacey Square Frame

Thanks for stopping by, and heres wishing you some happy days!
