My Sister, My Friend

Good Morning!

It's a bright and sunny morning here today, but very, very cold.  

My card for today is the card I made for Emma from her big sister.  Turquoise is Emma's favourite colour.  The finished card was 8 x 8 which is quite a large card for me, but I wanted to fit her name on and also use the lovely die-cut circle which a friend sent to me.  I love the effect of the die-cut, and when Santa brings me my new die-cutting machine, it is quite likely I'll order this die.  This image is from Crafters Companion Swalk Set 2, and the backing papers are from the accompanying cd-rom.  I love this range, they are such fun to colour in.  The image is coloured in using brushmarker, and the ink around the die-cut is from Big and Juicy hydrangea applied with cut n dry foam.  The cardstock is pearlescent white from PaperMill and is such a lovely quality.

Now Emma has had her birthday, I need to get cracking towards Christmas, not least of all with my Christmas cards!!!

Thanks for stopping by today, and a huge thank you to everyone who has left me comments - they really make my day.

Have a lovely day.
