Basic Grey Bella

My Team-mate Heather from Simon Says Stamps Challenge has created a fabulous sketch for Basic Grey Challenge so how I could I not use this week.
I used a Bella stamp that I brought at the weekend, love her curly hair, the flowers were a bit fiddly to cut out but it needed to be done.
The papers are Basic Grey Hopscotch, the borders is the deep edge doily punch again. It actually looks like a daisy border but I cut it lengthways to make the doily frame.
I had to use a embossed mat because all the papers left were a bit too dark, couldn't find my Pink souffle pen to dot the middles.
I did have a bit of senior moment cos the mat in the middle shouldn't go right across and when I remembered it was all stuck down, oops.
Do love how she turned out and she will work for Birthday Wishes on A spoonful of Sugar.

Hi Debby

This is gorgeous.

I love your colour choices and you always manage to "bring your images to life" in your own special way.

Gosh you must have really steady hands to cut those flowers out!! (not to mention an abundance of patience LOL!!).

Love Jules xx
