Windswept

 You know when you have soooo much paper, and so little of it you actually want to cut into ... well I have decided that this is an untenable situation now in my craft room.  Even hubby has started to notice just HOW MUCH paper I have ... so i have cut into my lush Bo Bunny papers today and made a card.
 I coloured this Sugar Nellie Sassy girl, Windswept, in using my promarkers and flex markers, and then cut her out.  As the dp is quite patterned, love the shadowed house and picket fence!!, I kept it all very simple.  The papers and cardstock are distressed using my TH tool, and I added some gesso to the edges and then inked over that when it was dry in blue ink.  The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse stamps, and I added some organnza ribbon, punched butterflies and some flat backed gems.

 Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
I love promarkers - get distressing
Dutchdare - bingo (distressing, punches, bling)
Fab n Funky - recipe (oops missed the 3 gems - sorry there's 4!)
CRAFT - photo inspiration (I went for the blues and balloons=wind!)
For your inspiration - photo
