Happy Thursday Everyone

You can find it in Polkadoodles here
It cuts out like a dream
No cutting machine?? You could print it as a border

Work and Play 10 - Country Life CD
Using the lovely image Foraging Mushrooms
also available as a digi here
I have coloured the main image with Polychromos
and used pre- coloured dog and fox (how cute are they!)
All the papers, elements and sentiment are from the collection . I just added a few clouds.

I'm not too clever at CAS cards I like to jam pack mine as much as possible, however when flicking through a magazine the other week I noticed one that I really liked , I put my own spin on it and this is what I came up with

I cut out the flowers and banner on my portrait.
The flowered paper and sentiment are from the Twiggy and Toots collection



I then layered it onto a 6x6 card blank using thick foam tape
