who are offering a £10 voucher

Here is my design team inspirational piece, but don't forget to hop on over and see what the rest of the amazing team have created to inspire you.
I just wanted to colour in copics this amazing Julie Nutting stamp, so I made a birthday card for a very good friend. I also borrowed the stamp from my other crafting friend Polly, thanks hun.
I used my fancy grand nestie ovals to create this oval easel and made sure the image or bottom of the skirt was used to be the easel hold.  I edged all the ovals with TH Tattered Rose DI and then added a string of pearls, some tiny pink pearls and some tiny tiny rhinestones along with a lovely sentiment and some roses and greenery.  Everything on this card except the image and sentiment and dies can be purchased from the  Hobby House

It is one of those images that you love to colour up, although I do love to colour all of the Wild Rose Studio images as most of you know.

Finishing off with lots of stickles glitter.
