So what do you think? It's not actually as short as I wanted it and I am thinking I would like to take more length off the front but not sure yet, all opinions would be gratefully received.
To make my card I have used 2 Kate Knight papers that were free from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine, and some Core'dinations potion no. 9 which I have embossed and sanded on one of the layers near the back and I have also cut out my clock face from it using a Tim Holtz die and again sanded it. I have coloured in my Magnolia stamped image using promarkers and flex markers and added two of my own hand made paper flowers and one flower that was actually a broach that I picked up in a charity shop. I have then added a tiny pearl to the top left and bottom right of the card and made a bow from some easter bunny ribbon that I found in poundland.
I would like to enter my card in to the following challenges,

Hi. Loving the card, I have a major soft-spot for Tilda and that Tim Holtz die makes any card look amazing. I used it a couple of weeks ago for a challenge too. The black flower is simply stunning. Thanks for joining us over at I ♥ ProMarkers this week. Good Luck and hope to see you again real soon.

The haircut looks great Lindsay. I would love to pluck up the courage to go for a shorter cut - I have waist length hair.
Love that lacy embellishment, never thought about charity shops for that sort of thing.
