Angel hugs - Truly Scrumptious DT Challenge 37 + Papertake weekly cutie pattootie + Crafty Angels shabby chic + Totally gorjuss thinking of you

Good morning everyone, now I'm way behind on my commenting because I have the Eyelid/bottom syndrome again, for those of you who don't know what that is its when your eyelids are attached to your bottom so that when you sit down they close and you nod off lol...I will catch up today hopefully though...so slapped wrist for the bad blogger...my card today is one of those rare creatures, a card I'm actually happy with for a change lol...its time for a new challenge over at Truly Scrumptious and our challenge is a stunning sketch by our wonderful Dawn with the added extra of using something recycled on your project...I used this fantastic Angel with Kitten from Mo's Digital Pencil, isn't she stunning, I coloured her with distress inks and glittered her wings...the stunning papers are from the My Mind's Eye Life Stories Paper and Accessories Kit 1, I love this pack its so yummy and its from Bunny Zoe's Crafts..my recycling is the corrugated card behind the bottom paper its from a new hoover box...I added some satin ribbon and the sentiment is from the same paper pad...I'm entering this for the Crafty Angels-shabby chic challenge, Papertake Weekly-Cutie Patootie and the Totally Gorjuss-thinking of you challenge too...I hope you like it and have a fabby day everyone...when you have the time hop on over to Truly Scrumptious and see the amazing work by the DT and Sharon announced the new members today

    Hi Mina,
    This is a beautifully crafted card. Such soft colours and a gorgeous image. I love it.
    I have been looking in medical books for years for a name for the name of that disease because I suffer from it permanently. I also suffer from Eyelid/Bed syndrome which is when your eyelids won't close when your lying in a bed.Lol

    She's beautiful Mina, how did you manage not to cut off her hair? The papers are perfect with your colouring. As for commenting as long as you keep card making I don't mind if you don't comment but it is a great boost to my confidence when some with as much talent as you does.

    Mina your card is stunning as usual,I so love how you've used the corrugated card in the design,clever! For all sufferers of eyelid bottom syndrome,if it gets too bad,do get a blood test,as a fellow sufferer for several years I discovered that it was actually an underactive Thyroid that I had! I still fall asleep at times but at least I have an excuse for the wider than desired waistline ( other than my love of chocolate. Lol! X

    Another stunner, Mina! Love the coloring, how you cut her out so perfectly, that gorgeous bow - and had to look twice for the cardboard. I was going through my "inspiration" file and noticed that I can "pick out" your cards right away. Your coloring is so soft & unique!

    Too funny about the eyelid/bottom syndrome! But I do have an eyelid orientation problem. When I lie down, they stay open, but when I am up & vertical, they try to close. LOL!
