MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE...


Hello, all you lovely peeps!
Well as promised I'm back today with a card for a few challenges. I'm really pleased with how this card turned out because as I started making it I wasn't too keen lol. This is my absolute fave LOTV image and when I saw this weeks LOTV challenge - I believe in Fairies, I just had to dig her out! I'm not usually a fan of sketches because I don't like the restriction but I really enjoyed using the fab sketch over at Cute Card Thursday this week,so much so I plan to use it again for my next card.I love seeing how using different images,papers etc can make a card look so different when you use the same layout. I've used some lovely papers from a Dovecraft Back to Basics paper pack and so I am also entering my card into this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge which is Pale  Pretty Pastels.
Well that's it from me today, I've had a busy day and I'm worn out lol, so off to make me a cuppa and catch up with all your lovely blogs :)
Enjoy your evenings xx
