Pretty Easels!

Good morning! I can't believe that it's Friday again already, although I'm ready for the weekend. I seem to have had a haze of constant headaches and migraines this last week or so, so I'm just hoping this weekend is a bit more relaxing! Mind you, with the usual comings and goings of our house it never seems really quiet - except when the offspring are all away! But despite my moans, I do love having a house full really!
Anyway, as it's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz, and this week our lovely Carol has chosen the challenge of 'Easel Cards' - so a nice easy one for everyone!
My creation for this is


I've used  the gorgeous 'Winter Fairy' from Wee Stamps - aren't these just the cutest pair?!

I've coloured the image with promarkers and a couple of spectrum noir pens that I got to try. And of course I had to add some Stickles!  The backing papers were printed from the Artylicious 'Seasons Greetings' cd which I bought ages ago. I used it a few times then it got put away and, to my shame, I forgot about it until a week or so ago - oops! There are some gorgeous designs on there, so I'll make sure I use a few! 
I've added holly leaves from Cheery Lynn dies, punched snowflakes (with more stickles!) and a punched border with my Tonic punch. The ribbon is from Joanna Sheen, with red beads for holly berries and then some pearly bits from my pearl pen.
Hope you like it! 
So do pop over to the CraftyCatz challenge and join in. Our sponsor this week is 
Floppy Latte Designs
with a $10 prize! 

Back soon, Kim x

  13. So sorry that you are getting plagued with migraines at the moment Kim. I get them but no way as bad as I used to (used to have to get the doctor out to give me injections to stop being sick and pain relief). I know a lot of the RA treatment I am on (like anti inflammitories) have really helped settled them down. Hope you are on treatment for when they are bad hun.
    Another beautiful card. Love lilac's and purples. Such a beautiful image too. Hope you have a great weekend hun and get a nice rest. Hugs Clare xxx
