Sugar Nellie Spring Card

Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and had a lovely weekend, it was lovely seeing my mum and my nan yesterday  and I have some pictures which I will get round to posting at some point. Apologies for not being the best commentor at the moment I feel very drained and tired and achey and just generally yucky at the moment  and it makes it very difficult to keep up with everything.

Before I move on to my card I would just like to say a really big thank you to Lily Anuska and Rach for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger award, it is very much appreciated and I am touched that you thought of me. I won't be nominating more people as I have had this award 8 times now but I wanted to post a little thank you as it still means a lot to me.



To make this card, I have used 3 different hand made papers that I got in a cheap pack from the works  (expect to see a lot more of the petal papers as I love them lol). The image is from Sugar Nellie and I have coloured her in using Promarkers and Fleximarkers and the doily is cut out using a Cheery Lynn  die. I have then used ribbon roses, pearls and paper string to decorate.

I would like to enter my card in to the following challenges,

Penny Black And More At Allsorts Challenge Blog  - March Challenge - Springtime
Sugar Bowl Challenge  Blog  - Challenge 79 - Erika's Sketch + Optional Spring Theme
Passion For Promarkers Challenge Blog - Week 140 - Theme - Yellow & Pearls

Thank you for reading this post, as always I love to read your comments, I will try to catch up with all of your blogs soon but I am trying to keep my computer time to short burst at the moment as my head doesn't like the  light from the screen much at the moment.
