Today’s card features the Little Cottage Cuties April Sunshine, by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps and after the dreadful wet couple of weeks we have had I thought this stamp was rather apt! OMW we’ve got webbed feet, this rain just won’t let up. I’m fed up with it now and so need some sunshine!
I coloured the image with Copics and pencils
Hair E44, 42, 40, W00 and dark umber pencil
Skin always the same E11, 00, 000, 0000, R20, R30
Pinks R83, 81, RV000, RV0000 and Tuscan Red pencil
Aqua BG57, BG53, BG000 and muted turquoise pencil
White C1, 0, 00 and a very little bit of Cool grey 70%
Grass YG67, 63, 61, G20 and Olive pencil
The beautiful paper is by Maja Design and is new in stock at Dies to Die For!! The darling little birdhouse is a Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Bird and Cage set. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts – Cottage Rose, 20mm rose, 25mm rose, 15mm roses, 10mm roses, leaves. The cute little daisy was another of my finds in the USA earlier this year, and I am gutted that I didn’t buy more of them when I had the chance 
Love the sentiment, it was just perfect for the card
And a peek at the inside
