I didn't want to cover up this gorgeous paper, which I think speaks for itself - so not too many bellies on this one. Just some polka dot ribbon, a glittery button from stash and a wee pearl on centre of flower. The Sentiment was made on computer. Gingersnap Creations are having a 'Tribute to Teens' Challenge and I don't know why but this reminds me of being a Teen. You are bold and not afraid to wear whatever you like! As you grow older, I think you lose some of that daring in the way you dress. Although I do confess to owning a grey leopard-print jumper!!! But in my teens it would have been (and was) bright pink leopard-skin!!! LOL
Colouring:
Skin: E00, E02 Copics
Hair: Pastel Blue, Cornflower Blue and Black Promarkers
Eyes: Pastel Blue Promarker
Lips, Leggings and Bows: R42 and R49 Copics
Green: G82 and G85 Copics
Top and Socks: Cool Aqua and Pastel Green Promarkers
Top and Socks: Cool Aqua and Pastel Green Promarkers
Ah well, had a lovely relaxing day! My daughter just got back from a Conference at Oxford, so we just watched Who Do You Think You Are with JK Rowling. Amazing Programme! and it always sets me off again on my Genealogy! I am stuck at so many brick walls now though and need to go pre 1837 and delve into Parish Records. I wish I could get out and about more to go search. Might have to do a WDYTYA and pay for someone to do it for me :-))
Finally, remember in my last post I said about not knowing what initials like WOC, DCWV and LOTV etc etc stood for when I first started out Stamping and Blogging! Well I have to report that unfortunately I still suffer from this sad affliction!!!! I was admiring the gorgeous snowflakes on a beautiful card that Vicky had made. She listed they were made with an NS Punch. The only name that kept popping into my head was ..... Nobby Stiles !!!! LOL - How random! Yes it took me about 30 minutes to figure out Nellie Snellen !!! and I use Nellie Snellen Die Cuts all the time !!! Sad!!!
Oh and just in case there is anybody out there as bad as me and still wondering .... MAMBI stands for Me & My Big Ideas ;-))
Anyway, enough waffle LOL! back to my card and .....

LOL...That is so funny Sue and now when I type NS punch I will think of you hehehe :o)
Another gorgeous creation sweetie...and those dp's are to die for..I so love them..and your beautiful colouring too...
biggest of hugs Vicky...lol...
I think I´ve seen that programme even on swedish television and it´s very exciting. I love history and it sound very fun with genealogy. I never practised it though. But I enjoy when you write about when you were a child etc. I always think abt things like that too :)
The card is great and I agree you don´t need more embellishment. She looks very straight forward and brave to me!
Have a nive evening! I´m going to bed... yawnm... Hugs!
Hi Sue, I think your card is groovy, can we still use that word lol. Have a great day, Hugs Cheryl
Wow Sue, so bright and beautiful. Fab Entry, thanks for joining Sir Stampalot’s challenge, Good luck.
Happy crafting

WOW Sues card factory has moved up a gear!! Got your mojo on a roll Mrs!!
Love the bright papers and colours Sue and that image looks super coloured to match thats always a favourite of mine. Think you were absolutely spot on with the embellies and the perfect little sentiment.
I thought the NS punch must have been a misprint and it should have been MS (Martha Stewart) but I like the idea of Nobby Stiles having his own line of craft tools more! lol!!
Big hugs my friend

What a bobby-dazzler of a card sue! :) lol.
Love the gorgeous DP and the image is coloured perfectly to match.
Now I am lucky to have a family who not only know who their ancestors are, but have kept documents over the ages.
I am descended from Walter 'Wat' Tyler - leader of the peasant revolution who lived from 1341 - 1381 and was beheaded by the Lord Mayor of London....
We also hail from Luddites and funeral directors, so quite a dark side to my ancestry I think :)
Lucky to have had family research this and pass this down too.
Good luck and you should persist! :)

Hahaha Nobby Stiles!! You are funny.
Where is the times when i used to dress like this? Must be long ago cos now all i wear is mostly black.
Your card is stunning and i got the same stamp but i used it only once, should get it out more :)
As for my genealogy, i am stuck at 1789, the french revolution, it seems to stop there.
Have a great day!
Hugs xx

xx coops xx
Hi Sue, me again. How do you make your pitures look so big on your page?
Hugs xx

Beautifully done! I love the coloring, and you've balanced it all so perfectly with that great paper. Thanks for playing along at Gingersnap Creations!
Who's Nobby Stiles? Oh! Sue you do make me laugh! Will think that every time I see NS Punch! I do know what you mean about 'initials' we could all do with a dictionary printed so that we understand what people are talking about! It seems so easy when we do know lol!
Fabulous card! LOve these bright papers and your colouring is Fantastic! LOve the sentiment too.
Chrissyxx
LOL!
Norbert "Nobby" Peter Stiles MBE (born 18 May 1942) is a retired English footballer. He played for Manchester United! I only know cos my dad raved about him when I was growing up!
Just thinking of all the hits I'll get with Nobby Stiles!! Oh I am daft sometimes! LOL
And yes, I really like the idea of setting up a Dictionary of Cardmaking and Crafting! I might do that!! :-))
