You may have arrived from Indah’s blog but if not you can start here and work your way around by following the Hop List included in each of our posts.

Now for my creation for this week.

I’ve used the gorgeous Rowan Fairy from the Wee Stamps Collection by Whimsy Stamps on my card today.

My image has been stamped onto X-Press It Blending card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured with Copic Markers.

My image has then been cut using the Large Circle dies and layered onto the Lacey Circles Die both from Spellbinders.

The paper I have used on my card is from My Mind’s Eye and is from the Notable Collection.

A couple of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts complete my card.

The colours I’ve used in my image are:

Skin – E11, E00, E000, R20

Hair & Branch – E44, E43, E42, E40

Leaves – YG25, YG23, YG21

Clothes & Berries – BG75, BG72, BG70, YR16, YR14, YR12

Here’s a close up of the image.

I’ve finished off the inside with a little more dsp….
