Giddy Up and Ride your Pony!


This card is for two challenges the first is CCT where the theme is animal magic. The second being Secret Crafter which is transport, pony ride! Both fantastic challenges with talented DT. Thank you all for the constant inspiration you provide week after week. I am delighted with how this card has turned out. I was sent these images in a RAK so I had to cut them out and place them in the scene however the trees in the background were stamped using the tree stamp from Cuddly Buddly All images are coloured using Lyra crayons I'm loving these at the moment a dream to work with. I have kept the card plainish as i wanted the scene to be the focal point anything else would have made it too busy I think. Thank you to all who have agreed to send cards for the troops. I have added a box on my sidebar and as cards arrive I will add a link to your blog. this is a fabulous cause and I cannot thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.



Well its miserable here today, I'm having a jammies day today as I had a bit of an upset tummy yesterday. So some rest is today's medicine. Baby bump is due 3 weeks tomorrow and I need to be fighting fit for then. I am also doing all my DT work in advance so if and when our bundle arrives I am well organised for all the cuddles I'll be having :) Off for a cuppa. Hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for dropping by. Toodles.

Ali, this one is lovely. I too like the way that you've arranged all the images just as if they'd all been on one stamp in the first place. I hope you are better now and counting down the days until baby bump arrives. Kym xxx
