 I made a card with an image from Sheepski designs called "Walkies" coloured with copic pens, glitter and liquid pearls, then fussy cut and layered onto some patterned paper.

I then added some diecut leaves, ribbon, dragonfly and sentiment.  Finally some purple glitter dotted across the background paper completed my card.  I have always loved the purple/green combination.

 I also got to create an art journal page with an image from My Besties, called "Ellie and Nib Airshow.  I think we probably underestimate how far a postman travels.

Paper Artsy paints for the background, The image has been coloured with copic pens and fussy cut, layered with a spring.  The little houses have been made with scraps of patterned paper, the envelopes hand cut after printing.  The sentiment has been typed and arranged, the birds hand drawn.
