I grabbed some time last night to quickly get this card made – it’s been a manic weekend, almost glad to be going to work this morning for a rest. It’s the last of the February release from Whimsy Stamps of Elisabeth Bell’s Cottage Cuties, this one is called Picked Sweet and for the UK girls is in stock at Dies to Die For, and for the rest of the world is available at Whimsy Stamps. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get them all used, and I just know I will be using them again and again, they are just so stunning. The sentiment is from one of my favourite Whimsy sets – Fanciful Birthday Notables 1

And I also managed to get the new Gratitude kit from Nitwit Collections used, OMW I love the colours in this kit. So pretty!
The image has been coloured with Copics and pencils

The flowers, pearls and seam binding are all from Wild Orchid Crafts – I used a trellis rose, 25mm wild roses, 20mm roses and sweetheart blossoms. The leaves are also from WOC
I decorated the inside to match the front and used bits from the main kit and Lil’ Bits kits for extra embellishment, and apologies for the pants picture, it was early hours this morning that I eventually got round to photographing it and the camera does not like too much white with the lights.

Not sure if I will get a card made tonight, so if I don’t I will have some Elisabeth Bell candy up for grabs 
Have a great week (I wish it was already over and I had my hubby back home – I am dreading tomorrow.)
hugs
