Luv a Latte

This is my second post for today so pls pop down and see my other card first!!

Don't ya all just love a latte?  I do especially a Starbucks, Cafe Nero or Costa!!  Would love to meet up with some of you to have a lovely warm latte if we lived closer together............mmmmmmmmm!!

This card is for the following challenges:~
The Sugar Bowl  Photo inspiration (blue/cream) challenge &
Totally Papercrafts Clean & Simple.

Using the gorgeous Luv a Latte from Funky Kits Simply Sassy range, I coloured her with my Promarkers in Ivory, Satin, Blush, Duck Egg, Cornflower, Pastel Blue, China Blue and Cool Grey1.  I mounted the image on Co'ordinations Whitewash and sanded down the surface after putting it thru my paper crimper (to make it look like wood as per Sugar Bowl's challenge).  The DPs are from My Minds Eye again (trying to tidy up my papers), the doily is from my mate Mandy (thank you), the ribbon, gems and flower are from my stash.

I really am adoring these fab new images and think I will have to sneak an order in again when Graham goes back to work on Monday morning!  To be truthful he doesn't mind me spending his money on crafting bits and bobs because he sees the enjoyment I get from them!!  I would feel less guilty if I had some income of my own but with not working due to my bad neck and not qualifying for any benefits I am well and trully broke!!
