First, I want to thank everyone for all your well wishes. I had the flu a week ago, but my cough just wouldn’t go away. So I didn't get much sleep, continued working all week and I was exhausted to say the least. But, today I felt like doing a little stamping, and I mean a little LOL. BUT, I feel much better ;)
My card today is for the Crafty Secrets Challenge here over on Splitcoaststampers that started last Monday. We were to make our cards shine. My shine is the bling around the eyelet die, with the stickles and Flower Soft on the little girls clothing. As I go back and re-read the instructions, I think I was to use embossing powder LOL!!!! but I let my Spellbinders Wizard do my embossing (hope that’s OK).
I painted the image with the watercolor technique.
Thank you for stopping by ;)
Linda

She's beautiful, Linda--love all your details! I didn't quite stick with the "instructions" for the challenge, either--oh, well! As long as we have fun, right!
Glad you're feeling better--those coughs take FOREVER to go away!
