Hi everyone from another sunny day in Sunderland. Can I begin by welcoming my new followers I am very grateful for your interest.
Well today I battled through a chest infection to make this new card, coughing and spluttering everywhere.... waits for the awwwwwwwwwwwww... :)
And what have I done but the typical mistake that all cardmakers do at some time or another, didn't read the challenge correctly. I thought it was just Black and White, but not solely black and white. duhhh.
But I don't mind, well not much :)
This is Blanche, yet another Saturated Canary image, Krista really does draw some fantastic images.
I really had fun colouring this, and it certainly took my mind off feeling ill. I wish I looked as good as the lady in the image lol. I used Spellbinders Labels 25, Floral Ovals and used Mystique embossibility folder on the background. I added a Memory box corner and buckle which I sparkled with glitter and WOC flowers. Ribbon is from Mei flower and pearls from my stash.
She is coloured with Promarkers and Prisma pencils and I added Black soot distress ink to the edges.
The inside reflects the front.
I am entering Saturated Canary challenge # 'Happy Birthday', Divas by design challenge #33 'Monochromatic' Deep Ocean Challenge # 24 'Use punches/dies' My Mums Craft Shop challenge #55 Embossing and I don't know if black could be counted as bright, if not it will be disqualified but am going to try again at Passion for Promarkers challenge #147 'Bright and Light'.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my card

Hi Eileen, nice to see a Sunderland girl using my beloved Newcastle colours!!
Hope the chest infection is clearing up okay and I just wanted to thank you for your comments on my blog, always welcome and always wanted too! It's amazing how talking about religion can even get you to open up and talk about things maybe you weren't expecting. In answer to your question about how God can allow all these horrible things to happen, my ex-mother-in-law always used to say that there was no such place as hell, we already live in hell, that's why there are so many things sent to test us during our lives and that when we die we must go to somewhere better than this! Bears some thought I think, it's got me through some tough times.
Good Luck with the DT call, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you, you really really deserve it and I hope they take a good look at not just the one card but at your whole blog to see how good you are.
Take Care
(OMG, another long one!!)
