Giving Away

I ordered a few bits and bobs from the The Stamp Basket sale last week, and although they're Christmas images, and it's only June, I couldn't resist using them for today's card.

This one is called Giving Away and I painted her with my distress reinkers. I tried to water down the colours a bit as I wanted a softer appearance.  I've used non festive colours of aqua and brown, but added some white snowflake die cuts.

Hope you like it.

ps: don't forget the huge Summer sale on at The Stamp Basket either.  There are loads of lovely bargains to be had.

Gorgeous card Annette. Love the colours and this sweet image is a fav of mine! Must start getting my Xmas stamps out soon. It'll be here before we know it! On a serious note hun, after all the hassles Krista's been having, I happened to notice a pinterest page, that has 'freebies' of hers on it, one of Mo Mannings I spotted, but loads, and I mean loads of your sentiments hun. I don't see any mention of your name for the credit either! Just thought you'd want to know hun. Here's the link: http://pinterest.com/kalogr2747/digital-stamps/ Big hugs, Wends xxx
