Connie's Card

Evening all! How are you? I hope you are fine and happy - thanks for your comments on yesterdays canvas - you are very kind!  Todays run went well - I managed 11 miles - again slowly - but I am now starting to believe that I can complete the Great North! Woohoo! Here's hoping!!!

Tonight I have a birthday card to share with you that I have made for another girl in Lucy's class - she will be 11 next week!


I created the background using distress inks, layering stencils and a script stamp. I also stamped words from Chocolate baroque.


The main image is from Indigo blu - I have coloured her with distress pens.

I think Connie should like this!

I hope you enjoy your Wednesday evening - have fun - hope you enjoyed bake off - I did!!!!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    Beautiful! Lucky, lucky girl. I love that background, the different stencils and colours, I'm not sure if it has but looks like it has a bit of texture too. I want to reach out and stroke it.
    I am obsessed with the Bake Off and it was fabulous this week, so many clever food artists Karen xx
