Hi Everyone, hope you all had a fantastic Christmas with Family and Friends, I am still getting over a frantic 3 days. I must apologise for not getting round to visit everyone and leaving Christmas Greetings, we had a family crisis the week before Christmas, but things are looking brighter now, thank goodness. Some of you already know my eldest, Matthew, was diagnosed with a rotten condition and I feared the worse, but he is to have his Gall Bladder removed as soon as the holidays are over and hopefully things will not be quite so bad for him after that.
I made this card before Christmas but as my mind was on other things it never got posted.
I originally made it for Sketch Saturday No 30 Challenge, so I am still going to enter it for this weeks challenge which is use any sketch from this year.
This little cutie is one of the new Elizabeth Bell images from Sugar Nellie, she has been coloured with Copics in shades of cool greys. The swirls around the edge of the image are a Stempleglede stamp. Papers are Basic Grey and flowers are a mixture of Prima and Retro Punch. Ribbons are from Stash
Just in case I don't post before the new year I would like to send you all
THE VERY BEST WISHES FOR HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS IN 2009
