I have been having terrible problems with my - it you look carefully yo can see some tiny dark spots on it - there are not their IRL.  I wonder if my camera need stripping down and giving it a good clean???

I have photographed this card 3 times - when I eventually got a decent photo I found the sentiment panel was absolute  rubbish  - so off it came and I added anew one - re-photographed  it  and eventuall - here it is!!!

After the 'Tirals and Tribulations' I shall happy to see the back of this card, meanwhile the image is called 'Cozy Shoe' and coloured it with Copics.

The circle is an old Joy die which proved to be the perfect size. The label tag is from Spellbinders and the image it's self is form  Personal Impressions.

This week at lovely hAnglar or sweet Magnolia our challenge theme is...........

Use a CHARM

and we have our fab regular sponsors 

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre.  Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side,  The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves.

I should have received another image - sadly I am still waiting!!!! Because of not having received the new one I decided to use Annie Back to Front I did love her so it was a pleasure to use her.

I didn't want to have her in a 'house' window as before so I sent her outside to look at the scenery along with a  few houses, trees, a few butterflies and a couple of deer frolicking in the grass.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed making this card.

I intended to brayer the background but time has become a little short of time by now I used a computer

program I have to print out a background on vellum, the green for grass I already had.
