Not blogged for a while

Sorry I haven't been around blogland for a while, went to stay with my  my youngest daughter and her family for a week, then got bogged down with other  family stuff, but as it's oldest daughter's birthday on Thurs, thought i'd better get organised and make a card. Can't believe Tracy is 40 this year, where has the time gone?

I watched Mel Heaton on Creat and Craft colouring with copics last week, so got my copics out and coloured this image, first time I haven't binned an attempt at colouring long hair!
The image is from Pink Gem
Papers from a first edition pad (summer breeze) and a MCS CD
Flowers from wild orchid and country baskets
Numbers cut with silhouette
Sentiment computer generated
I am entering it in the following challenges
pinkgemchallengeblog.   a sketch   x
divasbydesignchallenge   tickled pink  x
wildorchidchallenge.   anything goes   x

 Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, will be catching up with you all this evening xx
