my first ever blog!!!!

I'd like to start with a card i made a few weeks ago

 The image is a digital stamp from Hannah Lynn called punch of colour, there a few of these punch of colour girls digi stamps. I've coloured her  with a few grey promarkers cool 2 and  cool grey 3 with just  bit of red on a few tattoos and the rose and darker greys for her headscarf. i love this image its very 1950's rockabilly which is a style i love.
I've die cut her using spellbinders decorative labels 28 and layered and embossed black card with metallic rub on to enhance the embossed pattern. the swirls are a cupcake wrapper bought ages ago from homebargains, they where brown so I've coloured them using a black promarker.
I was really pleased with how this turned out and it started me thinking of doing more simple cards and less embellishments or fuss and keeping the main image as the focus this is one of them cards i now don't want to give away !!! 
do you ever get that? you make a card with no idea what you're doing but by the end of it you love it so much you cant bear to part with it? 

Well that's it for my first blog!!!! Wasn't so bad after all. xxx
