I have fallen head over heels in love with The greetings farm Anya and Ian and got this image is a download which worked out at £2.10 and was with me instantly.  The only problem I had with this image is that my printer ink didn't like the sansador fluid and I had to be SOOOOO careful otherwise it turned into a big black mess ( as my previous three attempts are testiment to !)


Here is the Recipe...


Image: Digital Download from The Greetings Fasm


Cardstock : Basic Grey - Oh Baby Girl


Ribbon, FlatBacked Pearls, Doodlebug Buttons


Coloured in with Prisma Colours

Sketch Saturday # 36 Challenge & Pollycraft Challenge 8 - Love

Well as I have been housebound again here today by the snow ( it has just started to sleet so I reckon it will be gone in no time) I decided to make the most of the time I had " free" and go for it on the cardmaking !


I have had a bash at the above cvhallenge which can be found here

http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/challenge-8-love.html


and as it is sponsored by Pollycraft I thought I would have a nosey around her blog and her stamps...I love them. Anyway she had a free upload showing on her blog so I thought I would give the challenge a go with one of her stamps - even if it was free ( Thanks I really appreciate it)


Here is my card...
