Queen Of Hearts!

A quick post from me today as we are off out soon. Off to the local owl sanctuary, taking Nico to visit as the owner has never seen a skunk before lol! Just waiting for Nico to wake up from his morning nap then we are off.

I'm here to share my latest creation for the Sweet Pea progressive Facebook challenge. You enter their ATG challenge at the beginning of the month, using a Sweet Pea image & you get a free image to use for the second part of the month. 

This month we were given 'Queen Of Wonder' to use (its on sale at the moment, just click on the link above!) not sure I'm happy with my finished card, what do you think?

She is a snooty looking Queen lol
