sunday sketch

Gosh didn't realise how difficult it is to get back to making non Christmas Cards sort of struggled to make this card. I've used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp.
The image is a cutie from Sylvia Zet and the papers are First Edition but I can't find the front cover anymore so not sure which one.
The swirl is MFT and I cut the end so the shape could stand up and I made a little pot for it so it looks like a plant but then it was floating so I put a bit of ribbon there even though I don't belive it is on the sketch but it does look better.
Now looking at it, its a bit plain nothing I can do about it now my room is full of the random craftstuff from around the house and I still don't have a somewhere to put my crop bag since the space it lives in has pictures from DS while he's flat is being decorated.
Well Hubby is at the supermarket getting the last of the food shopping and that is it, if we haven't got it we will have to manage without it!

Wow Debby, I'll think this card is gorgeous and totally not plain. Love your swirl and flowers and also the little folded corner with that little flower. It gave me new ideas. Hope you will have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs, Ankie
