A Gem of a Challenge - sketch

This week at A Gem of a Challenge we have a fab sketch created by Jackie, it's a really lovely one to work with...



I'm finally starting to feel better today, still coughing and sneezing but I don't feel so wiped out now - hurrah!  However, when I made this card I still felt awful, so I cheated and used the pre-coloured version of this gorgeous Faye image - I printed her onto linen card and just added loads of glamour dust!  I used papers from the Micro Dots and Gingham collections, also printed onto linen card, and added a scrap of stripy Raspberry Rd paper.

The scalloped border was cut with a Tim Holtz die, the flowers are a mix of ancient stash and Wild Orchid Crafts, gingham ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment is a Pink Gem Designs one available here and the little spotty buttons are Papermania.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

Well, as I haven't managed to make my mum's Mother's Day card yet, I suppose I'd better get on with that today!  Hope you all have a lovely day :o)

    Hi Lisa, such a pretty card! Love the colours and your flowers - and it's never a bad thing to have a few pre-coloured / printed images, we all have last minute rushes! Or those times when we just don't want to / don't feel like colouring!!

    Gorgeous card Lisa, I really like the colour combination and the image is so adorable.

    I think I've had the same bug/cold as you, it's ridiculously nasty - I hope you continue to recover well.

    This is just gorgeous sweetie....and no you are not cheating lol.....some peeps are not confident colouring so it's good to show examples of pre coloured images now and again. They are great for when you don't have time or feeling under the weather.....hope you feel better soon....hugs xx
