Hi everyone. I'm back to blogging :). I'm sorry it's been so long but as you know I haven't been well and it made me a very unhappy bunny. I just wasn't doing much crafting and wasn't in the right frame of mind to blog either. I would have been back sooner but Stuart, very kindly gave me his cold and it affected my MS as well as my sinuses, I would much have preferred chocolates instead!
Anyway, this is the birthday card I made for my Mum-in-law. I coloured the image with Prismacolor Pencils that my In-Laws bought me for Christmas/Birthday as I wanted to try them out and show them what they'd paid for, although I've found out that smooth card isn't ideal to use these with for blending them together so I'll have to get some better paper. It's okay for my first try with them. ( The photos didn't come out great as I couldn't stop my hand shaking)
