Good morning everyone, I think all your aaaahhhhhhhing yesterday helped as my hand is a bit better still very stiff but at least its moving without me making the air turn blue...well I need your honest opinions, do you like today's card, its something I rarely do...I'm not sure clean and simple is me or maybe its just not using my precious papers, but this amazing Teddybo image needed to be shown off didn't it and when I saw the Mojo Monday sketch it screamed minimal to me...this little cutie is called Sweet Little Angel, I coloured her with Distress inks and glittered the wings and halo, then all I used was a couple of punched snowflakes, white and red and used the red one as a shadow, red ribbon a ruched bow and three lush coloured pins...now be honest do you like it or even tell me if you dont...honestly lol...I'm entering this for the Mojo Monday challenge, CYDA Photo inspiration challenge and Creative Inspirations Plain and simple challenge...I'm going to try and have a crafting day today instead of just rummaging through goodies, oh and I might do a little craft shopping online, I feel another Teddybo buy coming on lol... whatever your up to have a fantastic day everyone
