Paintbox Poppets Baby Card.

Hi Folks!

Hope you're ok and not having too bad a day weatherwise.  Bit of rain here but we needed it so can't complain.  I've been stuck indoors waiting for the courier to come and pick up my 'old' new laptop and they're making me wait in all day by the looks of things!  I'm so annoyed as it was all packed up and ready (as requested by Dell) to be taken away when the replacement was delivered but the courier wasn't actually booked to take it so couldn't, grrrrr.  So Dell had a 'disgusted from Wirral' email and they arranged for me to have the pleasure of waiting in yet another day.  Really not impressed but <touch wood) this replacement lappy seems to be doing ok so far.  Hope it stays that way as well!

Anyway...I've got a card for you!  Did lots of crafting yesterday but my mojo had cleared off and I got lots of half projects done but nothing finished.  But today my mojo's returned and I've been playing with the Paintbox Poppets CD by Crafters Companion.  I am absolutely in love with this cd...it's just breathtaking so I'll be using it a lot!

Isn't this just totally adorable?  I love this image so much. 

I started off using one of the Card Companions but cut out most of the elements and matted and layered them onto back card which I produced by colour picking from the original artwork.  Because the layout is so pretty and the artwork just stunning, I didn't want to over embellish so I stepped away from the faux pearls and just chucked on a couple of roses (and leaves) from Wild Orchid and two tiny little silver filigree corners which I also purchased from Wild Orchid.  The inside is decorated to match. 

I really am pleased with this card and I love, love, love the colours.  Hope you like it too.
