The sweetest flower.....

........kindness that is!
Hello to all on this fine Thursday, I hope you are keeping well!? Beautiful sunshine outside & a little warmth, funny how it makes you feel happier isn't it?!
OK then, this card. I have to say I enjoy making cards (else I wouldn't do it..lol) but this one I really enjoyed making. When I'd finished it my hubby saw it & commented "it's very you!" now I took that in the best way possible, as otherwise I could take it that he thinks I'm 'distressed & frayed at the edges!!!' lol!
The beautiful goodies I've used were mainly all from the fabby things Vicki & Cass sent me for my birthday a few weeks ago. (Huge hugs girlies!!) Papers are BoBunny which have had just the slightest of distressing lol, image one of the very beautiful Gorjuss girls, & a few bits'n'bobs from my stash.
The sentiment is a verse I found on the net, & I wanted to break it up so as it reads in different ways hence the lift up flap.
Image has been coloured with my yummy Copic Ciao's, which I'm still loving!!!! I think it's fab how you turn a white piece of card with a stamped image on into something totally different by adding a bit of colour. Can you tell how much I like these Copics?!.......lol!

Anyway, as its one of my friends birthdays is next week I think I'll give her this card & in the mean time doing this one has given me quite a few ideas for other cards I'm planning to make, I'll show you when they're done.
Many thanks for popping by & I hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Kerry xxx

Oh Kerry, this card is gorgeous!! You have certainly got the hang of your copic markers havent you!! CAn i ask you a question hun? What colours have you used for skin and hair? I cant seem to get the right colours to do the mousy brown hair you have achieved and my flesh always looks sooo pale lol!!!
I love it!!

Vicki said...

oh my word Kerry this is outstanding and yep it's definately a "you" card, all the elements work so beautifully together and as for your colouring, you've more than got the hang of you Copics now. I'm not going to apologise though for giving you your first Copic, I think your quickly beginning to love em. Can I ask if that is your own handwriting or is it a font from you computer??? I love it. The whole card is truly exquisite.

Kerry I also wanted to say a massive thank you for taking the huge amount of time in leaving such lovely, lovely comments on my blog, I'm touched and ever so grateful, I have e-mailed you but recently peeps haven't been getting my e-mails, my puter seems to choose who it wants to send them to I think....lol!! luv 'n' hugs xx vicki xx
