Over at the Sweet pea Stampers Challenge Blog the topic this fortnight is your favourite Sweet Pea image. Yikes - that's a challenge and a half in itself to try and choose. I have chosen one of my first Sweet pea images called Forest Blue which I bought nearly a year ago when I first started my Sweet Pea addiction. I just think that she's just got such a magical look about her don't you? I have coloured her in with Promarkers, die-cut the image and then edged with Stickles glitter glue. The backing papers are a mixture of plain paper, a magazine freebie, K&Co, Basic Grey and DCWV. I kept the papers to look very spring like as this is when we have Mother's day here in the UK. I distressed the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz's Broken China distress ink pad and a forest green chalk ink pad. I have distressed the doily with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo. The flowers I have made out of a book and die-cut the shapes, scrunched them up, distressed with Broken China and Faded Jeans distress ink pads, Stickled the edges, re-scrunched and then put a decorative button in the centre instead of a brad. The card is then finished off with some lace, swirls, flower button, sentiment off the computer, butterflies, gems and a ticket sentiment.
It's that "time of the month" and my regular charity stall has to be set up on Friday so i thought this card could go on the stall in case someone wants to buy it for Mother's Day.

What a beauty Kym, I'm sure it won't be on your stall for long before someone buys it. Hugs x
A really lovely card, and I agree that image does look quite magical. Love how you've done your flowers, too - I must try some like that myself. Thanks for joining in with the Dream Valley challenge this week. CoB
Hello Kym,
This is my first visit to your lovely blog but not the last as I am now following you. I am a crafter too and have decided to do a bit of crafty blog hopping to meet other people just like me. I love your cards they are really beautiful, I don't think I am up to this standard though!
If you have a few minutes spare I would be delighted if you could pop by and say hello.
