I made this card using the brilliant sketch over at Friday Sketchers designed by Carole. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew it would be perfect for this image that has been waiting to be coloured for ages. The image is 'Partridge in a pear tree' designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie. It is quite a large stamp so is on a 7x6" card and even then takes up most of it! I tried various flowers and other embellishments with it but decided in this instance that less is more...not a phrase you hear me say very often!!!
The flock lace was a christmas pressie from DH, thought he did very well choosing that, love it!
The sketch is upside down, I didn't do it on purpose but found after sticking the backing down that I had put it on upside down, thankfully it still works!
a very simple inside, wasn't sure about these embossed trees at first but they look great as a little inside decoration.
supplies: DP: Ladybug and friends'when you wish'Stamp : Sugar Nellie 'Partridge in a pear tree'
embellishments : WeR Memory Keepers Flocked lace, Prima trees, Kaiser adhesive gems.
