It should be illegal to look this good!

Ha ha! not me I'm afraid, in my case at the moment it should be illegal to look this bad!!!, must sort out my hair, my body, my skin, my clothes LOL! The last couple of weeks have been so hectic, that I've been meeting myself coming back, but I think I am now finally on top of things and can get back on track, I hope I haven't spoken too soon!

I wanted to show you this card I have just made using The Clipart Fairy's Pru Longstockings kit, you get the girl graphic and 13 co-ordinating 12x12 jpeg papers all for only £1.50, now is that a bargain or what!

All the papers are from the kit, even the plain lilac and green, which I printed straight onto card. I have a bit of a thing for flowery papers at the moment so am loving that one.
I used a Marianne Creatable die for the large circle, which is also embossed, and a Nellie Snellen die for the smaller circle. I printed out a piece of lilac card with the sentiment on it, glued both die shapes onto the card and then cut around the edge leaving a little bit of lilac showing. The sentiment is a freebie from Create with TLC, I just changed the colours to suit my design. The borders down the sides are a Martha Stewart punch, the ribbon, flowers and gems are from stash. There is lots of glamour dust on the front section, I picked out the green lines in the plaid design with it, but it isn't showing up too well in the photo, the purple glitter is from Debbi Moore.

I added a message panel on the back centre section.

I printed Pru out a number of times and decoupaged her to give her some dimension.

This is the first card I have made in this shape and I am really pleased with the way it turned out, although I can see a few things that need improving, so expect to see a few more of these!

There is also a fab freebie on The Clipart Fairy blog, it's one of her new shape Book-a-Easels, in a lovely blue, snowflakey design, perfect for your Christmas cards, so head over there, snag it and give her a big thank you.
