Amelia's Wish

Hello folks

Today's card is actually one I made a couple of days ago, using another "Amelia" pre-coloured digi-stamp from the Polka Doodles cd "Pretty Sweet"  (so if you think my colouring has improved it's probably because it was most likely coloured by Nikky Hall!)  I took this cute image into Craft Artist, added backing paper from "Simply Sweet" (I changed the transparency so that it doesn't take from the image), some flowers, a butterfly and a bird from various Daisy Trail Digikits and it looks as though Amelia is sitting amongst the flowers talking to the bird.

Here is the card:


The base card is a pre-scored 6x6 card blank and I have matted and layered using Coredinations card from Crafters Companion and a backing paper from the cd "Pretty Sweet".  I finished the card with a sentiment I also printed from the cd and cut out using a Spellbinders nestie. 

 Here's a close up of Amelia:



I am very pleased with the way this card turned out and really love these digi stamps from the cd.  It is a godsend to have pre-coloured images when time is in short supply for colouring them myself.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

  6. Thank you for your lovely comments ladies. Bernie I would love to take the credit for the colouring but this was a pre-coloured digi-stamp so was probably coloured by Nikky Hall! My cake is now out of the oven and cooling Linda - it's looks ok so here's hoping it tastes ok too!
