This is just a very quick post today as I have a million things to do.
The main excitement for me today is a new PC that is being delivered this afternoon.It will enable me to work so much quicker than on a laptop ... which is how I currently build my website.
Let's just say this is my birthday present to me ... and I am going to be so happy when I present it to me ....I just won't know how to thank me for this wonderful gift.
Today's card is one for the boys and features one of the lovely stamped image from Lili of the Valley
Their images are so delightful that you will have hard time choosing some.
This one has been coloured with Distress Inks which give a lovely water colour effect to your cards... and there are tutorials on the website about ... Colouring with Distress Inks.
I have broken it down into three parts that will cover Hair, Skin and Clothes.
The background for this card is from the new M-Bossabilities folder from Spellbinders and this is the Letters and Numbers. I have inked over the folder with Broken China Distress Ink and then added in a banner panel and some Bakers twine.
So now I need to go and clear a space on my desktop for a birthday present that is coming today .... wonder what it can be ???
