On the wall




Good Evening fellow bloggers. Tonight I have a card which was for the challenge at the Sugar Nellie SCS forum. This was to do a gatefold card. It so happens this is the first time doing one of these and I must admit it makes a nice change.
Image is Goldielocks and she has been coloured with my promarkers. I do like these.
I have tried to make it look as if she is sitting on a wall. Think it is ok.
All papers and cardstock is SU.
Sentiment etc is also SU
flowers from stash. Used taken with teal ink to colour the base flowers.
Leaf punch is a Mcgill
Thanks for dropping by and love to return visits if you leave a comment.
