I missed the GNP show at Harrogate a couple of weeks ago due to a prior commitment - The Wedding - so I had a little online spend. Clarity Stamps had free postage last month so one of my little treats was this - La Petite Musique and I finally got to ink her up this week. I used Promarkers to colour and Distress Inks for her background. Mr 'M' was a bit of a slow starter this week, so while I was waiting, I coloured up a few of these images, something I haven't done in a while, so you might be seeing this little lady again soon.
I am entering this at:
Vintage Stamping Challenge - Feminine Beauty
Crafty Cardmakers - Shabby/Chic

DD and 'new' SIL came for tea and a lovely catch up, sounds like they had a fabulous time in Mexico, but they're back to the real world and work today. It looks like we're in for some stormy weather over the weekend - great for crafting - so I might just have to have a little 'play'!
Thanks for visiting, I really do appreciate it.

p.s. Thanks for joining us at CCM as well.
Sometimes we forget to do thesee "Just because" projects as we become caught up with other crafting commitments.
She is beautiful, then again I have a soft spot for Art Nouveau and so beautifully coloured.
Hope the storm doesn't cause you any trouble over the weekend.

Utterly charming Avril. Such a great choice. Jenny x
This stamp is gorgeous. might just have to stick on my wish list. spent rather a lot of money this month cheering myself up so I must be patient for it. In the meantime I can look at yours and drool over your lovely colouring!
We are slap bang in the middle of this expected bad weather. The wind is getting up already. The hatches are all battened down so hope to stay indoors for the next few days. Hugs Mrs A.
Lovely card. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers.

What a romantic and elegant card - lovely colouring on the image, and I love the shabby embossed panel.
Sorry I haven't been around much. The big move (clearing and moving out of the family home of 40 years) knocked me out, but I'm looking forward to some proper catching up over the next days and weeks.
