Mid week and I can't wait for the weekend

Hi there all dear ones, I am back with a new card for you all to take a look at. I hope that's why you are here at least. :) The schools are on the go again and so is the day care. It take me a while to get back into routines but I get there in the end. My body need a few weeks to get used to all the bike riding I do every day now. Even if it's not that far to go, I have to go that way four times per day Monday to Friday and then comes all the other rides during the day. My legs are working hard and that's good, free work out. Who doesn't need those?

Anyway, back to my card for this week. I have used the lovely spring breeze by the Paper Shelter. I have had my eye on that image for a while now, and when I went on holiday I had her and a few more gals printed to be colored while I didn't bring all of my crafting stash with me. LoL No choice than do some colouring and that was good. I finally started to realize how the Prisma pens is working and this image is coloured with copics and prisma pens for shading.

The designer papers are once again from Maja design, Vintage summer. Flowers are a mix from Magnolia, WOC and I am Roses. Some gesso around the card and on the pearls and flowers. Also some cheese cloth from WOC behind the image. Sentiment is from LOTV and so is the postage stamp in the left corner. Pearls from Bunny Zoe and dragon fly from Altheas Mix. Doily behind the image is made with a Cheryl Lynn die.

 As my card is made for our new challenge over at the Paper Shelter I might share or theme of the week as well. We are doing everyones favourite by the theme of Anything goes. As usual you can win a gift certificate worth $20 if you play with a TPS image, playing with another brand means that you have the chance of winning three digis of your choice. Lovely as well, right?

So please do come and play with us as we can't wait to see what you all are up to. Remember only three entries per crafter, and one of those has to be with a Paper Shelter image on them.

Love n hugs
Marie
