    As many of you know my Darling Daughter loves to craft but has been quite poorly for the last 2 weeks so when she saw these stamps, she knew she wanted to make a card but wasnt well enough, so we came to a comprimise, Macka would colour the image and Glitter it, I would make up the card!
    So this is our team effort, All papers and Embellies were also chosen by Macka, Heres our card using Beautiful Bride..
    We decided to decoupage the skirt of her dress to make it bulk out, Macka then glittered the skirt,Veil and Flowers using Stickles.
    Papers/Chipboards are from an old Create and Craft set.
    Lace effect ribbon trim is from Wild orchid Crafts
    Gems are from stash
    Mediums are Promarkers

    Sweet Wendy image

    Hi all

    Sorry i havent been online, Macka ended up in hospital, at first we thought she was just sick with the excitement of her birthday but after 24hrs of being really ill we took her the emergency doc's, it turned out she had gastroenteritus and was dehidrayted, so after 4 days in hospital she finally came home, feeling a bit sorry for herself and wanting her mummy with her constantly i had no time to craft and had to do with colouring images, so i now have many images needing to be put on cards, and yes i was withdrawing,lol..
    So i am here today with one of those images made up, Its the wonderful Wendy Wedding digi stamp by the fabulous Sherri Baldy, I just love this image and new it was perfect for a friend of mine who is getting married and wanted a card for his Bride-To-Be.
    I used the fabulous Nitwit papers as they have such lovely words on them..
