Belle of the ball


 Good morning, first I want to apologise to my lovely blogger friends if I have missed visiting and commenting. It's been a difficult couple of weeks here, kitchen still being sorted- you really don't want to hear me whinging on about all the mistakes on the plans, wrong items delivered, missing items etc etc. Going to be without sink/hob until after the weekend- getting on for 3 weeks now. On top of this husband has had surgery and needs looking after, and keeping an eye on in case he tries to overdo it. I honestly don't know if I'm coming or going most of the time! Moan over...it's only a few more days and people have a lot worse to cope with. 

Anyway- back to the card. It's my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at 

Crafty Catz

sponsored by LeAnns World 101

The theme is Anything Goes with an option of  'For the Girls'.

This sweet image is called Abigail, her lovely dress reminded me of Belle's ballgown in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, so I coloured her up with my markers to look like Belle, a huge favourite of my two older granddaughters when they were small.- oh the squabbles we had over who's turn it was to be Belle and wear THE dress! 

There's more to see over at Crafty Catz, where the rest of the DT have created some lovely girly cards. 

Thanks for visiting

Have a good weekend

Chris

Gorgeous card Chris, your colouring on the image is absolutely beautiful. Sorry to hear about your trials with the kitchen … must admit we had a nightmare when ours was done a few years ago … but it makes it all the sweeter when it finally comes together! Xx

Your card is absolutely delightful, Chris! The Belle-inspired coloring is simply stunning, and the bright, sunny yellow brings a touch of cheerfulness. Despite the challenges you're facing with the kitchen renovation and your husband's surgery, it's impressive that you've still found the time and energy to create something so beautiful. Wishing you strength and hoping everything gets sorted soon!
