My last day off, and going to make to most of it.I'm going to do nothing....well, for 5 minutes..I dont do nothing very well, get bored too quick, but, I'm going to cruise through the day, and just relax in my craft space...cloudy again, the camping ground down the road is emptying out rather quickly....so sad really....came to Sunny Napier for Christmas and New Year...and it has poured down, day and night for 6 days...
'My Lady' was so surprised yesterday when I turned up with my umbrella...."I didnt know it was raining today"........it has been for 5 days now dear...was my reply.
" no it hasn't, today is the first time...we have had lovely weather"...Christmas day was beautiful"..[yesterday]...Oh! God...it was a long morning....trying to explain that she lost a week...now it is New Year...lol...
Never mind, have made a Thankyou card...for a challenge at TOTALLY TILDA
Coloured with pencils, and finally cut her into a cirlce with out cutting her head off...I went to u-tube to watch a video on how to do it...I won this stamp from Bev Rochester.
I still get carried away when inking the edges, I think I need new sponges, mine are tatty, and spread the ink too much. so then I have to go around again to fill the gaps, and I get deeper into the image .
Papers used were Jillibean soup [Blossom] from Vicky's candy..flower WOC, lady bird on a peg, and the stamp was a cheap wooden one from a set, and just the perfect size for the die from Tickled Pink stamps...the tiny ribbon was the tie on a packet of chocolates that I was given for Christmas...
So thats it...Tuesday morning, off to see 'My Lady'...then I'm free for the rest of the day..excellent.
Welcome to my two new followers, thank you so much for joining me...and thanks everyone for all your great comments..it's going to be a great year.
Luv CHRISSYxx

Chrissy I think its lovely, and I love the way you have sponged the outside of the image. I'm useless at it and have given up on trying to get that look lol xxx

Hi my sweetie love love love this card, I soooo love the colours & flowers & of course Tilda looks fabulous with your colouring hun.
We've got a pound shop in the uk & I buy a bag of make up sponges to do my inking its sooooo much cheaper, the wedge type ones are better.
Thank you soooooooooo much for the lovely comment on my grand-daughter I havnt stopped smiling all day I just want cuddle her all the time lol.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
Stunning card Chrissy, gorgeous colours
Happy new year HUGZ Fleur xXx
Chrissy I think this is just adorable! I love how you have colored her and the way that you have put it all together. Everytime Jerry hears about the floods in New Zealand he asks if I have heard from you and if you are ok. I am glad to hear that with the exception of your lady (not know if the sun is shining or the sky is falling) that you are doing good and have not washed away. I hope that your year is off to a great start. Hugs, Lisa
Very pretty card....love it! Hugs! Leah Ann

Ahoy! ANother great card, balanced on your rickety fence. If that fence had been here today in ol' Blighty, it'd now be a mile down the road looking more like a pile of matchsticks. We've had the most horrendous gales & rain this morning, surprised we've still got a roof..(hang on while I double heck!!) Yep! It's still there, sun's out now & rain's stopped...Phew!
love the cute peg & ladybird embellie, have a great day / night / tomorrow...oh, whatever xxx
Hi Chrissy, Wow gorgeous card! Such a sweet Tilda image and lovely colours.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Sweet Tilda card Chrissy. As always your colouring is brilliant. I think your inking around the edge looks perfect.
I must get on to that u-tube and check out how to do that cutting out of the circle, I still do it by hand.
Michelle :o)
This is beautiful Chrissy and gorgeous gorgeous embellies too!
Hugs,
