............more like dull and dreary
and according to the weatherman we may have a dusting of snow this weekend!!
So I thought it was time to grab some zingy yellows
&
make my own sunshine!!
As you can see I opted for pencils on kraft, teaming it with a lovely DP from Craft Creations Ltd called Green Meadow Buttercups.
Now having cut down on my DT's one of my intentions for 2013 is to work my way through all the stamps & images that I have shamefully never used - this little sweetie being one of them.
(she's part of the Pergamano Flower Girl set)
and I've been taking advantage of the sales to add a few sentiment stamps to my collection,
on this occasion I used Hero Arts Birthday Sayings
I have also invested in a portable soft lighting tent from Maplins
which I am illuminating with my bargain bendy floor lamps from Ikea.
In fact the most expensive part of this set up were the two economy daylight bulbs!!!
.....pretty pleased with the results so far, even with me operating the camera

So pretty! Such a sweet image and love your colour choices. It's dark and dreary here too. Thankfully no snow in the forcast, but it would be great to see some sun.
