Happiness is...........

Oooh, have I been a bad blogger this week? Yes, absolutely, but that's not to say I haven't been crafting away.....I've actually been pretty productive, but just didn't get the time to actually post something! Anyhow, thought I'd better make at least a quick effort today, followed by another tomorrow, and most definitely on Sunday for my OSAAT DT creation.
On with today, it is of course Bellarific Friday over on the Stamping Bella blog, which means efforts have to be made by myself in honour of one of my fave stamp stores (the actual rubber, touchy, feely, squishy in your hand kind of stamp that is!). So this weeks theme is 'Fall', not necessarily a Fall stamp, but definitely the colours associated with. Here's my attempt using 'Savvy Shoppabella'..................

Now, whilst I was making this card, I didn't feel too happy with it........don't know why, but now that it's finished, I'm fairly pleased, just not 100%. Maybe it's the fact that I finally used the last of my very 'purdy shiny ribbon' (sniff)......aahhhh, she served me well!(lol).

I coloured of course with my Prisma pencils and a touch of Copics for skin, used my new 'lacy square' Nestie (love it!), a Fiskars border punch, a chipboard leaf (covered with cardstock and inked) and DP's are from the Apple Cider line from Imaginisce. I finished with a little faux stitching.
