Saturated Canary–Thank you and new Nitwit Kit

OMW have you seen the newest Nitwit Collections kit – The Potting Shed Collection???  I remember not so long ago saying that I didn’t like purples and lilacs …. well I lied hahaha.  I think I rate this kit along with Petal Fresh Collection and that’s saying something!
So my card today features Thank You from Saturated Canary, isn’t she just a little doll?  It’s those eyes!!

I usually resize the papers down a bit in Photoshop but didn’t this time and think I prefer them printed out in the full size (so that’s gonna save a bit of time in future Smile )

Coloured with Copics and pencils
Skin is usual colours E11,00,000,0000,R30
Hair E43, 42, 41, 40, W00 and light umber pencil
Dress: V99, 95, 91, 91 E42, 41, 40, W00, V01, 000, 0000 and mahogany red and warm grey 70% pencils

The flowers and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts as are the Flat Backed Scalloped Pearls.  The flowers are Cottage Rose, Poppies, 15mm roses and hip rose buds.  The purple roses are that gorgeous Walnut shade … again lol.  Can’t help meself.

The sentiment was stamped direct to the paper – it’s from the Lili of the Valley Simply Sophisticated stamp set.

The butterfly is from the CC Designs Butterfly border die and the little birdcage charm is from my stash.

And that’s all from me today.

    Another gorgeous creation... do you do any other kind, lol? I too would say I'm not a fan of purple... until I look at the cards I've made and see it features rather prominently! This is a gorgeous shade, so soft, may have to check it out - you enabler, you! TFS, Donna ☺

    Well Bev, im gonna blame this on you, as i have just been on Nitwits and bought the whole kit, the extra papers, and the extra lil bits, lol.....aubergine is my favourite colour along with black so this papers colour is the nearest to aubergine/plum i will ever get and i cannot wait to get my printer working later on that lil lot, im so excited, thankyou hunni, and as you probaby know i am the S.C YT DT Leader so i am mad on Saturated Canary, and this card is awesome, hugs Bev, love, Vick xxx
