Hello crafty bloggers, it's been a long time now since I created a card, I've been thinking about all the fun I used to have here. Lifes happenings get in the way and due to a bereavement in my family it set me back a little, hopefully things are settled down a bit so I can send some love to needy children. I'm really hoping I've not forgotten too much, how to link things and that my brain cells are ready for some imaginative creativity! So i thought the lovely Krista's 'Ava' would be a good start..a freebie and as always a joy to colour in with my Promarkers, paper is a d/load from Cardmaking downloads website freebie from Clipart Fairy I believe (hope that's right), tried a different thing with the beautiful Mei flower ribbon, gathered it up by pulling the top thread after machine stitching on a larger stitch, sentiment is a digi from Polka Doodle cd, stamped text is from Cuddly Buddly. Bling is from stash.

 

 

This one will be sent over the pond  along with some others that I'm hoping to make as a donation for Krista's 'Give Big' charity for a Childrens Research Hospital. Incidently this card fits quite a few challenges.. Saturated Canary (pic inspiration), Cute Card Thursday (bling it up) as is The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, followed sketch from Sketch Saturday, Crazy (anything goes) Stamp and Create (stitch it up), J and C Creations (new challenge blog with 'something a little bit different..ribbon). Wishing you all a great evening and hope I've not missed too much in blogland.
