I could not resist playing along with last weeks Wags'n'Whiskers Challenge to use ribbon, especially as I won this image in one of their challenges - what a buzz! I chose this image 'Love You Sis' as it reminded me of my girls. It is also the perfect stamp for my sister's birthday card, her birthday is not until June but I am working ahead so I can take then with me when I go home for a visit (41 sleeps Mum!) Now I have to add there is sheer ribbon running behind the embossed Nestie but it is not showing up - if you look closely you can see a slight shimmer - I will try and get a better photo in the morning!
How adorable is this image, I have coloured these gorgrous girls with SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen. They have been popped up on foam tape into the Nestie that has been cut into squares, I have used the CAS sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge I was also inspired by the Inspiration piece at The Shabby Tea Room - I love this new challenge!- I would love gumboots like theirs - how cool are they, they would brighten up any day and make gardening fun!!!
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's 'Wonderful Words' set - this is a favourite of mine - and is perfect on this easel card! I did have a lot of fun making this card, sometimes it is good to do something different - I am surprised at how much I love 'whimsey' but how could you not - these images are heart warming.

Oh Linda, this is too darn sweet! I'm fascinated with cutting a torn EF panel in half. What creativity! Love all the punched edges and your coloring. Everything adds up to one spectacular card!
