Ismaki # 33

...is a fabulous sketch by Beatrix. This one I must admit stumped me. I really had to work to find something I liked for the top horizontal piece. But that is why it is called a challenge right!! I am glad I stuck with it because I think it turned out alright!!It might have been easier if I picked a smaller image like the sketch suggests but I got a couple of Manolia stamps in the mail today and I had to use one!! I think she is just the cutest!!! I really love her sunflower. I stamped one pf my PB images with a girl holding a sunflower a few times and just cut out the sunflowers for the bunch on the bottom of the card! I also stamped the flowing leaves on the right side with a set from Inkadinkado!! (Got it 50% off at Micheal's)

Paper: Basic Grey
Stamps: Magnolia, Inkadinkado, PB, & Sentiment ~ PTI
Inks: Distressed Inks
Accessories: ribbon ~ Chatterbox, leaf ~ cuttlebug, buttons ~ stash, glitter pen


Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!! We have nothing but school tomorrow so I am happy with that!! I am getting too old for all this running around stuff!! (LOL)

Oo, she's gorgeous Kathy - I ordered this one too but still waiting for mine! (surely Sweden is closer to UK than US - really is snail mail!!) I love how you used your PB sunflowers too, they match beautifully.

Hope you're feeling better and it's a nice quiet day for you :)xx
