The Story Begins.....

Hello All,

Well.........my first card of 2011. This was a card that just seemed to evolve... I had no plan in mind when I started....This is a new stamp for me "Krafting Kimmie - Snow White"....she is just gorgeous!!!..I knew I wanted her in blue but I had no DP that was the colour I wanted so I just decided to colour her in, and I would see what I could do later.....

I looked at various castle stamps that I had to create a background....nothing looked right. Then I came across this set of "Darcies - flourish house" stamps that so far have remained uninked.. ( I have so many stamps like that its embarrassing!!)....The House, the little owl and the sentiment are from that set.

I inked up the page with "distress ink - Tumbled glass & faded jeans"....The flourish is my trusty "Kanban" stamp....not sure how I crafted before owning that one!....I wanted to tie the red in a bit more so I added red dots to the foliage using a sakura glitter pen.....finally I added some stitching, some loose glitter on the dress and apple and a little glitter to the background.

Think I will be using this as a new home card!

This is my entry for:

Thank you all for looking
