Friendly card

 I made a card using a stamp from the set Floral Spray by Clearly Besotted, die cut with the coordinating die and coloured with distress inks in blue and green. I paper pieced the dotted paper and die cut the focal sentiment.

It's really warm and sunny at the moment, warmer than we usually have up here in May, and I figured it would be a good day to take pictures but still this photo turned out rather dark and dull. There is actually some gold on the buds and flower centers and some sparkling dust on the rose...

ABC Christmas - J and K

 It's time for a new challenge at ABC Christmas and it's my time to host it. The theme is J for Jingle Bells and K for Kissing.

I chose J for Jingle Bells with this adorable little robot holding a tiny bell, the sentiment is computer generated. I noticed that I seem to have a theme going on here, with masking the image off and smudging Distress Ink Pumice Stone around the image. It's make it pop nicely. 

The prize for a lucky winner is two Christmas inspired images from Fizzy Moon.
