It's been lovely to see the sunshine and hear the blackbird singing it's little heart out!! But it's changed now - back to dull and rainy! 
I've made this card with the lovely Gorjuss girl called 'Sitting Pretty' - she is just one of the new stamps at My Crafty Heart. I love the Gorjuss girls - and they all stamp like a dream!! Click on the links to see them!
Anyway, the gorgeous paper at the top is 'Howdy Doody' by My Minds Eye. This pad is SO lush - I love it!! The bottom paper is Prima - 'Pixie Glen' and they are just two of the many delish pads over at My Crafty Heart - if you want to see more click here!
And I love this new 'Modern Landscape Border' by Memory Box SO much!! it's perfect for Spring and Easter cards. Lots more ideas for using this..... !! The fab 'Wrought Iron Fence' and beautiful 'Scalloped Posie' are also by Memory Box. All these dies are available from My Crafty Heart - click on links for details!
I've used some little resin flowers called 'Dolly Mixture Dreams' and my favourite 'Kaisercraft Sparklets - Saffron' - again all available from My Crafty Heart. Just click on links and take a peek!
Colouring: Copics and Promarkers.
The polka dot ribbon is from my stash. The fab leaves were sent to me by the lovely Laurie! ;-)

I have just caught up with two episodes of new series of Upstairs Downstairs - and have to say I'm impressed!! It seems much better than the first series and I love the humour in it!! Now I'm going to watch some of my Little House on The Prairie Box Set. I'm now onto Season 5 - and one thing I've noticed - didn't Charles Ingalls take his shirt off a lot !!!!
LOL Ah well, never mind - he was quite buff !!! 
Thanks for all your lovely comments! Don't forget to enter my Candy!!

What a wonderful card Sue(great name)
And she is sitting so pretty too.
I think your colour work is excellent and you know, that fence and ribbon looks just fine to me and no fence is ever straight, it adds to your card anyway. Love your take on our theme this week.
Thank so much for joining us at OCC, we are so pleased to see your work.
Smiles:)
Hi Sue, WOW your card is stunning!!! I love the Gorguss girl and those dies are beautiful, ( more things on my HUGE wish list ) lol. My Sister loves Little house on the Prairie and she has the DVD set too, and I am sure it's for that very reason! Charles with his shirt off lol. Enjoy your shows, take care,
Hugs Cheryl

Hi Sue,
Wowee! or should I say "Howdy doody" (I love that pad so much!) You have created a masterpiece here, it's like a scenic painting! I love how you positioned that die behind the fence and she looks like she's having a lovely day out. Soooo beuatifully coloured, LOVE it! Brilliant! I was just thinking back to Little House on the Prairie and it made me smile about taking off his shirt :) probably never noticed it much at the time as a young girl, but he was rather nice I remember, he had a lovely smile too:)Lovely dimples! Have a lovely Sunday, Biggest of Hugs, Teresa xx
