I have some gorgeous ribbon for that........

Today's card is for the following challenges:

Passion for promarkers ~ Colour theme pastel

Less is more ~ Don't scrap it

Allsorts Challenge ~ It's your choice

The Secret Crafter ~ White on white

Materials used:

White card stock inc. scraps

Sizzix Dots embossing folder

Stamped images from Penny Black ~ Critter party & Bubbly

Images stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Promarkers.

I do have the perfect cloud ribbon for this card, but it was so hard to not add it.  Trying to keep it white (excluding the image) and simple is harder than it looks.  This has to be the smallest card I have made in a long time, an A6 card.  I just wanted to keep going with this card by adding more and more detail to the colouring, but I thought 'no' it has to be clean and simple.  I may have to remake this card with all the extras I want lol! 

The scrap paper was used to make the clouds.  I always keep all my scrap strips, rectangles, anything they are great for the little one to sort through for her little crafty moments.

 Thank you to the lovely Franz over at The Secret Crafter for her beautiful DT card that gave me the inspiration for this project.

Hope you have a lovely day, thank you for popping by my blog.

I added a flock detail to the fur of the little girl's coat, which unfortunately you can't see to well.  The weather is terrible and there is not much light anywhere in the house.

Sorry it's a short one today, but it is half term and life in our home is a bit crazy just trying to grab a bit of time to craft is pretty hard. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
