Happy way too early Sunday everyone! Woke up at 4:45 am to feed Sinbad, then our electricity went out, twice, which means the printer comes off and on (very noisy), the alarm clocks are blinking and now I am wide awake. I am usually up early anyways but I prefer it be on my terms! Since I couldn't go back to sleep I did some paperwork and finished off this card I have been working on. I have to say it was a bit difficult for me, way out of my comfort zone because the challenge is vintage or distressing. Neither one of which is my forte.
The image is by Sugar Nellie and her name is Fabulous Darling. She cunningly jumped into a package I received from my buddy Elaine, who is one of the Sugar Nellie Sweeties and since I didn't want her to feel neglected since she traveled so far, I colored her up. Paper is Curio by Basic Grey, MFT doily die on top and a paper flower I inked up with some distress ink, crumpled and layered with a pearl flower in the center. A little bling in the corners and I am ready to go. So Elaine, I know she isn't as good as yours but I hope you like it. PS do you see where I placed the flower? near the ankle ha ha ha
