Swalk, Mum You're the Best

Hi Everyone

I know its not near mothers day but i love this swalk image and now i have a card ready for someone in advance.  Although i don't think any son or daughter should wait until mother's day to share this with their mother. (someone please tell my kids!)  I also thought i should put my lili of the valley stamps away and work on something else.  You'd think i only had one lot of stamps!  Any way this is my favourite shape of card at the minute as well so i thought i would give it another go.

  

I've used my speccies to colour the image and I'm finding it a lot easier to work with the lighter colour pens for the hair, i think I'm definitely finding it more difficult with the darker browns. I've used background papers from the Swalk CD and a few flowers and a butterfly charm.

  Two things i would change next time is i think i should try and print the background straight onto the centura pearl as then it will be easier to work with rather than sticking paper onto the card base and then put through the cuttlebug.  I've also used stickles to highlight each scallop on the die cut shape but it doesn't stand out very well, so i think tomorrow i may change this to some gems.

Hope you like it.
