Good morning folks, hope you are all well. Wow it sure is blowing a gale here this morning and the wind howled all night so think it will be another day indoors again.
I have not done much crafting this year as I have been suffering with back and hip problems since November so sitting, walking etc are not easy and sadly I have stood down from Lili´s Little Fairies, old Lili of the Valley challenge blog where I spent many happy years on the DT.
Anyhoo onto my card, I have used this gorgeous digi image by artist Morgan Fitzsimons available at Scrapbook Stamp Society/ Addicted To Stamps and she is called Cameo 1.
Decided to use my new Me to You - Spring Chic papers, ribbon from Joanna Sheen and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
A wee close up for this gorgeous lady which I have coloured with my copics and cut out with my oval nesties, especially made for my dear friend Betty whose birthday it is today

Gorgeous card Nicola, I'm sure your friend will love it. Sorry your back is troubling you hope it is soon easing a little. As for the wind last night, all I could hear was the bins blowing around and it has been howling all day. Probably not far from you as we are both Lancashire based.
