Sophie in the Country

The clocks went forward last night and it will be April on Wednesday – so what has happened to the weather?? It has been colder in the past few days than a lot of the time during the winter – surely it will get warmer soon!!

A few weeks ago I was lucky to win several digis from The Paper Shelter in their weekly challenge. I chose this image – Sophie in the Country – as one of them. I coloured her with Promarkers and one Copic – the turquoise one. I ‘ve seen that a good many crafters use Copics and I wanted to see what they are like – now I’m definitely going to invest in more of them soon. I frantaged around the white card, on which I printed the image, and I embossed the plain turquoise paper with a chain wire embossing folder from Couture Creations. The papers, lace and ribbon are from my stash and the flowers and pearls are from the Ribbon Girl.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges –
