Get Ya Ribbons Out!

 Good morning & welcome. I'm here today to share my latest 'My Time To Craft' DT creation with you. Our theme for the next fortnight is....

RIBBON/BOW

either or both is good

As this is a masculine card, I used a strip of black grosgrain ribbon across the bottom. Not sure the recipient would like a big fluffy bow! lol!!

Precious the Donkey

Today over at Digital Delights its my turn to be your Hostess & show you either a technique I like or just show you an image I really love.

I was going to show you how different images look coloured in different mediums (Promarkers/Flexmarkers, crayons, pencils, distress inks etc) but with starting my new job last week I just ran out of time. I will try again for next time.

So for this Monday I have one of my favourite images coloured up & popped on a card to share with you......

I just love Wendy's fab set of Donkeys, I think I have used them more than any other of Wendy's images & Precious is my favourite she is a darling!
