Rose Blossom Bestie

A couple of days ago while searching Google for something completely unrelated I came across a beautiful image that immediately caught my attention, of course I had to go and investigate, with my fingers and everything else crossed that she was a digi image and not a rubber stamp, (cos' as you know I don't do rubber) and, lo and behold, there she was in a fabulous Etsy store belonging to the
very talented Sherri Baldy.
Now the store was full of gorgeous images and I wanted to own every one of them, my heart screamed - buy them all - but my head was saying - now be sensible Colette, you can only colour one at a time and your pockets aren't that deep, so start off slowly and build up your collection, after a lot of hand wrenching and brow mopping  I decided my head was right, so I only bought.... 

 twelve!!!!!! LOL!

Once I had my grubby little hands on them I had to decide which one to colour first, I ummed and aaahed but was struggling to choose, until my daughter Stacy turned up. She was ooohing and aaahing over them all until we came to Rose Blossom, and she immediately fell in love, (she loves anything with an Eastern flavour and collects Kokeshi dolls) so the decision was made, and here she is in all her glory.

Digital Stamp - Rose Blossom - Sherri Baldy Art (Etsy) -Coloured using Photoshop
Digital Papers - Oh So Pretty - Just So Scrappy
Butterfly Die - Elizabeth Craft Designs - Small butterfly
Tonic geared punch - Victorian Border
X-cut 1 inch circle punch (used to make the little rolled roses)
Font- Japanese Style - dafont.com
Fan charm and beaded pin - Stash
Ribbon, pearl ribbon slider and yellow gems - Meiflower


Oh dear, just been over to the Etsy store to grab the link and you'll never guess what happened, three more stamps just jumped into my basket LOL!

I think I am going to enter this into the Besties challenge which this week is to use flowers, now I know they are small and not your 'traditional' flower, but my little rolled roses are still flowers, aren't they?

Besties Challenge - Flowers
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

If you get a chance pop over to my friend Clairebears blog and check out her Bestie, and you can find a lot more cards made with these luscious images HERE.

**Just to let you know there will be no Teddy Bo Tuesday as we are taking a break for a while, there will hopefully be some new images in a few months but no challenges for now**

Thank you for calling in,
hugs,
Colette xx
