Whiff of Joy - Sketch Saturday

I really enjoyed using this weeks sketch that Jo did for Sketch Saturday. I used Molly Celebrating Sheep and a sentiment from the new Party Sentiments from Whiff of Joy for the front of the card, and the Presents accessory stamp for the inside. I saw how fabulous Rach's and Jacqui's cards look with an image on the inside (not that their cards aren't always fabulous) so I thought I would try my hand at going the extra mile. It makes such a difference I think so thanks girlies for the inspiration (again!!!)

I used these beautiful K&Co papers that Sally sent me for Christmas - love them, thanks so much Sally. I coloured the image with the usual distress inks/H2O's and added some white touches with a Uniball Signo pen from Stampin Up. The ribbon is from Hobbycraft and then added a few orange Dew Drops.
As you can see my Martha Stewart Lace Doily punch had a good old workout last night, I do love this punch (not that you can tell lol).

Don't forget that Katharina still has her fabulous candy running - the winner gets the new Spring Stamp Club set (designed by Elisabeth Bell). There is a direct link to the candy post in my side bar at the top.

Thanks for looking,

    Awesome Bev, the papers and colours are divine!!
    Hmmm........I've stamped tiny images on the inside before now but never larger ones - I like!!
    Thanks for the inspiration Bev and Rach and Jacqui.
    Thanks for concern over my 'stupid' computer - all is now well except for tiny lettering and I can cope with that until I manage to sort it.
