Sugar Nellie - Daisy

Hiya :)

Here's a little card that's taken me aaages to make, but still i'm not too sure whether i like it! For some strange reason, i'm having trouble actually putting the cards together at the moment. I've got a pile of images all coloured and paired up with pretty papers and flowers etc, but I just can't make them into a card that i like! Wierd isn't it!?

Anyways... i'll shut up now :P

I've used the adorable 'Daisy' from Sugar Nellie, coloured with distress inks. 7 gypsies papers, Wild Orchid and Prima flowers, a Tim Holtz die, X-cut border punch and some other buts and bobs. Everything is inked with Vintage Photo distress ink, hand stitched, and glittered with 'Star Dust' stickles.

The little tag is left blank so that i can add an age/name/sentiment later :)

I'm not too pleased with my colouring on this card, but i'll be nice and tell you the colours anyway :)

Hair - Vintage Photo, Black Soot
Skin - Tattered Rose, Antique Linen
