Seventies Chick

Simon Says Stamps are stocking Greetings Farm stamps and as a member of the DT I will be able to show case them on their challenge blog. I've only a few of these stamps since I wasn't over pleased with my results and thought they work better with copics but I thought I would give them another try. I brought this one because she is wearing my coat I had in the seventies when I thought I was cool. The fluffy stuff is from Woodware which I had to use it just wouldn't look right if I didn't. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday this week but I had to turn it. The papers are Papermania that they've brought out for the Daisy and Dandelion collection.
I'm really please how she turned out but do feel I may have to improve the shading with her face.
Well I had a busy day yesterday, someone forgot their dentist appointment, good job Hubby had it his diary and since he had to take me he knew what time etc. Then it was trip down to Furniture shop and brought all the bits we wanted for living room. Had to get the smelly salts out for Hubby when it was added up. Trip to Sainsburys before getting home for Hubby's friend whose going to improved my fireplace which I don't want changing not matter what everyone keeps telling me. Phew I think a nice quiet day is in order crafting.
