So with Easter in mind I created this:

 

I'm joking of course!!! I couldn't resist this little cutie, and I know Christmas sounds like a million miles away right now but I always get caught up around that time and invariably run out of time to make cards!! :)

I watercoloured the image, the skin is AWFUL I know, I need to do some research, she looks deathly pale, like a china doll! Anyway, the rest didnt come out too bad! Its matted onto Kraft paper and then the 2 DP papers are from a set called Changing Seasons from PXL Cafe.

I added some card candy to the accents at the top, some ribbon accross the middle and a couple of Gems to the sentiment, which is a fabulous Pink Petticoat print off and thats my Recipe complete!

I followed this fabulous sketch from Sketch and Stash:
