I coloured this gorgeous Sarah Kay in using distress inkss and distressed the edges. I stamped around the edges of some of the dp and added a layered flower with a spacer and pearl. The cute little watering can was acquired at the NEC.
I am not great with reds, find them really hard to shade, but as Vicky had set the challenge I had a go and am quite pleased with how it has turned out. The papers are embossed and sparkly and I added gems for a bit more bling. This card is special as it is going to a special little girl who is recovering from her 5th operation in less than 2 weeks.

And here is my creation.
I used this cutie from Whimsey Stamps recent digi release. These papers are very neglected and I don't know why as they are gorgeous (if pink!). The sentiment is from FF Pink Parfait.
I watercoloured my fab new image and inked the edges. I threaded ribbon through the raffia lace and added a ribbon ... no flowers as I wanted to see the lovely dp at the back. The sentiment is from the FF Pink Parfait range.
I used my distress inks to colour the image and went over the fairy dust and danedlion clock with a skura stardust pen. The papers are lush, I had to take some deep breathes before i cut into the ... MME Penny Lane glitter stack. I added a ribbon and a charm, and some baby's breathe.
I used the same colour scheme as my Tilda - had the inks out so thought I might as well!! The dp is DCWV Pocketfull of Posies and the image is Midnight waiting. I added stickles and used ricrac and ribbon.
So we have a pirate theme - its Lis and E dressed up as pirates!! The images are watercoloured and then cut out so I could sit them in the oval. The scallop borders and arrow sentiment from the dp pack, and the flowers are Wild Orchid Craft. I did some rough faux stitching round the edges of the dp, but resisted the temptation to distress the papers.
I used one of Wendy's fab manga stamps, Sitting Mollie and coloured her using my promarkers. I decided to use these BG papers ... not very girly, but Mollie in dungarees isn't too girly!! I punched flowers and added gems and ribbon.
Tilda is watercoloured and then the background is distressed. I used the fairydust sparkle stamp to stamp around the edge of the image, and then added stickles. The dp are faux stitched in white and black gel pen. I added some organza and gingham ribbon, a bow and charm, and some gems.
I love this PB stamp and that butterfly must be a good friend to be pulling the mouse!! The image is coloured using my pens and then distressed in blue and green ink. I punched the pink detail using my EK success border and swirl punches. I added a layered flower, some pearls and a PB sentiment.
I watercoloured this cute Penny Black bear and distressed the edges. The papers are Basic Grey Wisteria, and the clear buttons and ribbon is from my stash. I blame my lovely friend Samantha for my slight (only slight mind) obsession with clear button!
I made this card at a crafting session at Wendy's (Secret Crafter). I watercoloured the iamge and used nesties labels to cut it out. The image is distressed using tumbled glass. I love this dp and matted it onto navy and grey cardstock. I love this colour of ribbon and just had to use it. Whilst the colours might not be the first that spring to mind for a romantic card ... but the image reminds me of depression Mid west and these colours are fitting for that.
