Sorry I am late posting today, I'm not feeling 100% and haven't been taking my Bach Remedies so it's my own fault, plus it's so cold again! I get SAD in the winter months so should be getting outside to top up my vitamin D levels, only this winter it's been nigh on impossible - roll on Spring.

On my card today I've coloured up this little girl from a set of Kanban clear stamps, but don't you think she looks like the LOTV little lasses? To add a little extra interest I've doodled little white hearts onto the big gift she is sat on to pick up the hearts on the pink paper behind the image. I've taken inspiration for the layout from the sketch on the Stamp With Fun blog using various Cuddly Buddly digi papers, a Martha Stewart lacy punced edge and the white line and pricking faux stitches around the edges of the papers. Over on the Dutch Dare card challenge blog there's a recipe to create with 3 patterned papers, 3 flowers, 3 sparkly things and 1 ribbon. My 3 sparkly things are the Marianne diecut swirls covered with Eucalyptus Stickles, the blue sparkly organza ribbon and the heart that's got a stickled edge as well as the stamped text in a jade green pearlescent Brilliance ink. I didn't want to make a Valentine card, so have kept this simple so that it could be used for Mother's Day, a birthday or even for no specific reason other than to send to someone, with love.

    Sorry to read that you're under the weather today, hopefully it will soon pass once you get your Bach going again. SAD isnt much fun but I do find Calcium with Vit D takes the edge off mine.

    Beautiful card Annie, I really love that MS punch, Ive not seen that one before, it is so delicate.
    The little one does look very much like the LotV lasses, makes you think they may be by the same hand?! Almost!

    Thought it was LOTV until I read your description - very very like. Love the doodled hearts. Take care, SAD is a bit tough to say the least.

    Lovely card Annie. The soft colours are so pretty.
    I did read somewhere that the artist is the same as the artist who does some of the LOTV designs - don't know if this is true or not though
