Good Afternoon Everyone, sorry Ive not been posting for a few days but weve had quite a stressful week and I really didnt feel upto rushing around trying to get a card done to post. This card I had intended putting some stitching on for the Saturated Canary Challenge as well but I spent 4 hours yesterday taking up trousers and skirts that I really couldnt be bothered to get the sewing machine out again today. Anyway I stamped one of the gorgeous Sassy Stamps onto white card then used my copics to colour her, afterwards I used my rotatrim to cut her out and create and mount for her. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have treated it in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green pearlescent card then I have used two papers that I have manipulated into a green colour from one of my craft Cds in my stash, the first one is a pale green background with hearts on, and the second for the sketch is a check pattern with a difference I though it would be a change from the gingham that most of the girls have used.
I then wrapped some lace and ribbon around the middle of the card and attached it to the back of the first mount and then positioned my mounted image in the centre, with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used one of the rolled rose dies on some left over paper to create the flowers that were then stuck in the top left hand corner on some punched out rose leaves.
If youd like to know what all the stress was about you can find out all about it on my No.2 Blog, link on the sidebar.

So sorry that Missy hasn't been well - it must have given you a real scare when she went into a deep sleep in your arms. Thank goodness you managed to wake her. Hope the Vet will be able to put things right.
