Good afternoon lovely peeps!
I feel like I'm getting back on track a bit & finding my card making love again thankfully.
I think life has just been so sad & busy I'm forgetting to make some "me time" to spend in my favorite room surrounded by pretty flowers, papers, stamps etc, I do love my pretty craft room :)

I have chosen to use my Cropodile & Party Raffia as my featured products on today's card, I got a bit carried away & almost totally covered up my eyelets which are around my shaker frame.
I've used one of the cute mini Gorjuss Girl stamps from the DoCrafts range which is about the size of sweet Tilda, & I've added Prima Micro Beads to my shaker,
The copic colours I've used are -
skin -E11, E00, E000, R12, hair -E44, E43, E41, coat - W4, W2, W0, dress - R83, R81, RV000, umbrella - C3, C1, C00 / R83, R81, RV000

I have created a really quick & simple card to feature a new large background stamp called "Peeps Background" which is so cute.
Have you noticed what is odd about this card? No embellishments!!!
