Thinking of you card (Sarah Kay image)

Hi everyone,

This is my third card to show for the day and it's a little garden scene. I stuck her down before thinking she would have been better with the little flies and extra white bits cut out more but once it's glued down there's no going back is there lol so I've moved on. 

I think she's so sweet, the image is a Sarah Kay one and I have used this image many times before, I even have her coloured up ready for another card at some stage. She reminds me of this time of year (well, USA's time of year lol, we're coming up to Autumn here in Australia). I love the challenges during Feb, March and April, first love/Valentine's Day, then Spring and Easter, such beautiful fresh and happy cards to be made. That's a hint I have a lot of crafting in me right now hehe, love it!!
