i dont know how you all do it but when i make a card i decide on the papers i want to use first then colour the image to coordinate, i find it so much easier , only this time i'd already coloured this gorjuss girl in !! well it totally threw me(doesn't take much lol) i spent ages faffing around with different papers and ended up with the first flipping ones i pulled out, for a simple card this has taken me about 2 hours to do:( i dont think i will be colouring first again lol
the papers are basic grey and papermania exquisite collection, the image coloured with promarkers, the edges are inked with tea dye and blacksoot distress inks, the punched border is martha stewart, the flowers x-cut punched and the roses wildorchid crafts and the brads are from my stash, sorry about the piccy but i think someones been playing with the settings on my camera.
oooo and its the rubber stamp exhibition at port sunlight tomorrow, i'm so looking forward to it, it should be a great day
Thanks for popping in

Helen, this is beautiful. I love this image; she's, well, gorjuss! I wish I could get a card like this together in 2 hours, it takes me all night. I always try to choose the papers first now, if not I'm fighting a loosing battle but sometimes the temptation is just to colour, isn't it?
Anyway, this is a lovely card.

Hi Helen
lokks like i stayed signed in on my mum's pc. She seems to have left the previous comment using my profile. I need to make sure I sign out in future cos shes not very good at all this commenting and posting etc. Anyway, your card is 'gorjuss'. Your papers go great. I used to colour first but always ended up in a pickle so now I try and do it the other way too
Phew - you'd think I was writing a book here

Hi Helen
Your card is wonderful. Love the shades of brown and the "clean" distressed look you have given to it. (if there is such a thing as clean distressing!).
Really love it.
Love Jules xx
