My First Whiff of Joy card

I received some gorgeous Whiff of Joy images in a stamped images swap (Thank you Claire !) and this is my favourite. I think the girl looks so cosy and the image is really peaceful.



I am going to see my Mum this weekend, she has been quite ill and had a stay in hospital this week. It was bad timing as my Mum and Dad moved house yesterday! I am going to see them for the Weekend so I wanted to take a card for my Mum. She still has to rest so that she can get completely better so I thought the Take it easy sentiment from Elzybells would fit well with this image.
I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it onto K+Co papers and corrugated Kraft card. The scalloped border was cut with a Fiskars punch. The ribbon was a bargain buy from Hobbycraft and the flowers are Prima mixed with a Sizzix flower diecut from lacy ribbon.
I really liked combining the orange blue and brown on this card and I can't wait to colour the rest of my stamped images and make them in to cards!
