It's Never Too Early.........

That's what i always say, lol! Here's a card i made using my new stamps from the Frou Frou collection from Crafters Companion,  i stamped the image with Versafine black ink, coloured the image with my Copics and DM's. I heat embossed around the edges of the image with Aged Ivory Fran-tage,  added a little bow (ribbon from my stash).

 DP is Melissa Francis' Classic Elegance which was a freebie paper pad in a Magazine.

Base card is a 6x6 linen card and blue matted card is by Coredinations

 I wasn't sure which one of these photo's showcased my card the best so i put both on!
