Aw go on, go on, go on...

In case the headline for the post confused you, here's a short clip from one of the funniest TV-series ever (if you have my sort of twisted sense of humour, that is!)

And here is my card:
The card is for 7 Kids College Fund Challenge which this time is ANYTHING GOES.
I am using a sweet little Blidmalarna Mimosa Tea. All the Bildmalarna stamps are on preorder at 7 KCF at the moment and they are SO sweet!! The papers are from Basic Grey Curio pad (LUSH colours!) and all the colouring is done with Copic markers. I tried to keep my colouring fairly soft and subtle, not really great at that! :( I also embossed the panel behind the stamp with one of my all-time fave embossing folders - herringbone.
I used the sketch from Sweet Stop because I fancied showing off the lovely papers without burying them under too many embellies, lol

Thank you so much for looking!
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas time!
Hugs

    Love your card and the velvety rosette and lace trim. Great layering as well.
    Totally got your Father Ted ref! It's so hilarious. Brit Coms are the best!
    Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas! :o)

    This was gorgeous.
    I love these stamps from Bildmålarna.
    I like them better than Magnolia, but that's not legal to say, I think...

    Must admit to having used that 'catch phrase' once or twice lol. Love your papers, such a warm welcoming card (sorry I know I'm weird). Great colouring, particularly admiring the hair, as I just can't 'do it' myself. very pretty embellies too. Hugs lin
