Great card, Nic and I love how you've coloured the image. The mat that she's sitting on - looks like it been done with crackle paint, has it? Or is it some paper? If it's paper, it's got fantastic texture cos it's got me fooled!! Hugs, Marie xx

Hi hun fabby card love the image I have the same one yet never seem to get her out much I think it goes to show us crafters have too many stamps I barely get chance to use a stamp twice....sssshhhh dont tell hubby tho lol.
I've only just joined that bloggy-thingy-countery-mabob so I dont even know what makes the number go up or down I just joined 2 weeks ago lol. Still have no idea exactly how it works tho lol......maybe I should actually read it.....lol

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
