Good morning everyone,
Happy New Year!! I hope it will be a happy, healthy, and prosperous year for you all and I hope that not too many of you are nursing hangovers this morning😉.
Did you all have a fab Christmas? mine was fairly busy, but I spent some quality time with my family. I hope you Santa bought you a few new crafty bits and pieces to play with.
A big thank you to everyone that popped in, sent me messages and left me comments last year, I really appreciate them and at times it has kept me going.

So on with the task in hand as we have a new card challenge at the Ribbon Girl, this is any design, any shape any image as long as it is card.
I have stamped up an old Saturated Canary image called 'Nikki'. She has been coloured with distress reinkers.
The papers are absolutely lush, they are by Lemoncraft and are called Heart Painted. My absolute favourite colours are pink and grey and they fit the bill perfectly!

For Christmas my lovely hubby bought me so foamiran, stamens, dies and the tool set for shaping the flowers (all available from the Ribbon Girl), you can see the results above. I have used the pink and white foamiran, tucked behind the white flower is another flower which started off white, but I have applied some Victorian Velvet distress ink from a stamp pad to the tips of the petals.
Here is the link for the white foamiran as I am unable to link in the usual way at the bottom:
