Hmmmmmm,

have I done tooo little do you think????

Hello blogworld,

Now then, you all know what a one I am for needing reassurance (just plain needy is what hubby says!!) but this time it is serious.

Have I gone too Clean and Simple with this card?  I'm not sure and it might be the Graph'It pens that are doing it to me!  After initially not being sure and huming and ahing over getting Graph'Its for ages (thanks by the way go here to those who very kindly gave me advice) I took the plunge.

I'm not used to skin tones being peachy - I'm more used to a mid-pink - but they are growing on me and I'm using them a lot.

So, cutting to the chase here!  I started colouring this image, found some left over card from something else I'd cut out and thought - hmmm tall slim, lovely colours, CaS - stop there!!

 But should I have carried on? Let me know!

The front shot:

The Arty Farty:

The close up:

I used:
Digi Stamp:
All Dressed Up - All Dressed up for Christmas
coloured with my Graph'Its

Wot no dies?

Anything else?
Twine, a pearl heart and Stickles glitter glue

And that's it folks - I have sung!
