Whiff of Joy challenge

Just a quick post before I give up on the day!! We have spent the late afternoon and early evening in Blackpool with my parents. We have had some scrummy fish and chips, tram rides and seen the illuminations. The girls loved it all, especially the fish and chips!! The downside was the wind - it was really strong so we couldn't go on the beach. The girls are now tucked up in bed and I can share a card I made earlier today.

One of my friend's is expecting her 4th baby, and two weeks before it is due the scans are still saying it is going to be a girl ... their 4th girl!! So here goes the jinxing!
I have coloured Willow in using promarkers and copics, a new thing for me, as I normally stick to my distress inks with these stamps. I used these gorgeous Nursery papers by DCWV and have kept the details simple. As the handmade flowers I made this morning worked so well I had another go ... I used 3 sizes of nesties and stamped swirls over the circles using tattered rose distress ink, and it was all going well until I let Ellie do the glimmer misting ... not so misted as soaked!! All the curling went ... well flat!! I added pearls to the centre of the flowers, organza ribbon and a charm.
