I`ve been busy lately...

This card was pre-printed and I stamped image which I have had for a couple of years and got from  http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/love--kisses-1-1944-p.asp with stazon and used sakura pens to colour it in

then added sticky backed swirls and gems to complete

This card was a birthday card for Tracy at CBC forum and the stamp is from the artistic stamper,and is a Design Essentials Clarice Cliff Style-the original designs by Claire Mackaness. Coloured with sakura pens ,some fancy fibres and gems
