Ellie made a card ...

... and isn't it fab!! She did everything but cut round the image herself.
Whilst Ellie was doing that card I was making this for the WOJ challenge ...
Its another fab sketch and I really enjoyed doing it. I watercoloured and distressed the image and then matted the dp onto cardstock. I decided not to use a background paper, rather use a cream card base. I added WOJ swirl stamps and punched some flowers and swirls from the dp and inked the edges. Little adhesive gems finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Willow in sunhat; swirls
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: K and Co
Embellishments: punched flowers and swirls, adhesive gems

Hi Ellie

Wow this is absolutely fantastic it is so beautifully coloured in it puts my work to shame. If you are good you can have a go with my stash next time you visit, as I would love to see what you make of some of the stamps I have. I will put you together some images if you like and put them in the post to you.

Lots of love Aunty Vicky xxx

ps please tell Mummy her card is gorgeous too, especially like the idea of not using a backing paper x
