As usual there is a great sketch to follow and you have to use your new or neglected stash and they now have an optional challenge which this week is to use your new or neglected animal stash.
Now before I show this card, I do have to say that I am not very happy with the colouring on this image, it is a very detailed stamp and I really have to practice colouring with this kind of images but here goes anyway.
The stamp I have used is one that I got from Aries Crafts last week. It is a very pretty stamp and although I am not very good at colouring it, I did have loads of fun trying different ways of colouring it. In the end I stamped the image with black ink and used clear embossing powder, then coloured with my copics. I found this to be the easiest way as without the embossing, the outlines of the horses were very hard to see. If anyone knows of a better way then please do let me know. I did try with some watercolour pencils but I only have a small set (I think about 12) and there is only 1 shade of brown which is a kind of redish brown and only 1 of the other colours too, so it just didn't look right.
My papers are from my new DCWV Garden party stack, corners are punched with an old McGill corner punch I have had for ages and only used a few times. My flowers are punched ones made with my new Dovecraft punch and Primas from the Sweet and Sassy Cinderella jar also from Aries Crafts. I know I keep mentioning this website but honestly, they have some really nice stuff especially their flowers (loads of Primas) and they are all at a good prices with free UK delivery. Please do check them out (link in my sidebar) and if you do order, could you please say that I sent you or told you about them. I don't get anything for you saying that but just so they know that I am letting people know about their website. That would be great :D
Oh everything else on my card is from my stash. By the way Aries Crafts will have some bead caps in soon and I know that they will be at a very good price too :)
Before I go I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the comments and advice you left me on my earlier post regarding Liam. I think I know what I am going to do now.
I was really touched with all the kind words you left for Liam and I promise I did give him all the hugs that you told me to give him. I really did lol, I kept hugging him and saying here's one from Teresa, amd one from Carly, one from Marjanne, a kiss from Vikki oh and another hug from Stef lol. The poor lid must of thought I was mad lol.
I'm off to bed now because my eyes are so heavy that if I don't go now I will be falling asleep on the keyboard!
Hugs Lora

Love this card Lora.
I wasn't at the comp much yesterday and have only just read your post about Liam. I agree with everyone else that this boy and his cronies need to be stopped, but you have do what you feel is right by Liam first and foremost and I'm sure you will do that. You can add a hug from me for him too, if he isn't all hugged out by now - and take one for yourself while you're at it.
