Hi all, I have had a little play today with a Swiss Pixie I picked up from C.C. Designs Facebook Group, I couldn't find her in the Shop but there were lots and lots that are just as cute as this one :)
And believe it or not I haven't made a card!! Shock Horror!! I have instead decorated a bag to use as a thank you gift filled with chocolate treats for a very special young lady.

I really enjoyed doing something a little different today :)

Raven & Tattered Angle - Karleigh Sue

Just a quick post to show you my card using Raven from Karleigh Sue Digi's, it's nice to colour up an image with a bit of attitude some times :) I have teenage daughters so I get to see lots of attitude at times. I kept this card simple because I think the image speaks for its self.

I also recently made a monochromatic card using another Karleigh Sue image named Tattered Fairy

I love colouring mono chromatically!

Thanks for stopping by
