Meet Sammie

Who is also too cute for word, and Sally-Ann has got her so right she always has bags everywhere and they are always full of things, this is based on my Daughter Samara we call her Sammie for short and she is part of the Lil Poppet's Stamps and can be found "HERE"....

My card is for 2 challenges "Friday Sketchers" who have a really great sketch and a added extra of distressing and then also for "Simon Says" who's theme is stitching, here is the fab sketch.....

And here is my take on it.......

I have coloured my Sammie in with markers and i have inked and distressed all the edges....

The papers are out of my scrap box.....

I have added fake stitches to the whole of the card and a flower and i have created a swirl and glued lots of gems for a bit of sparkle.....

Thank you for looking i will be back soon with my Liddie card, hugs Pops x x x
