My card features the adorable Ted No 2 coloured with Koh-i-Noor pencils on Mi Teintes paper. 

All the Warms - coloured pencil, Perfect Pearl "embossing"

Ahhhh... who doesn't like a nice hot cup of coffee on a cold nearly winter morning? All the warms, all the way down to your toes. My card features a stamp from House Mouse and Friends coloured with Koh-i-Nor and backed with a Stampendous background faux embossed with Perfect Pearls.

Weeds - emboss resist, shaped card

In every garden, we determine which are flowers (desired) and which are weeds (things to be removed).  But many weeds do become flowers when we get to know them. My shaped card features stamps from Impression Obsession and embossing resist with Distress maker.
