Today I would like to share with you a card that I made for my guest design spot at Elisabeth Bell's World . The theme for their challenge this time is 'Christmas Creations' and the stamp I used is a Whimsy Stamp called ' Two Turtle Doves', isn't she the most adorable little girl.

'Apple Blossom'

Hi Everyone,
Well I'm fed up with the rain already, it's been non stop this morning and this afternoon hasn't been much better either. Still it has given me time to colour up this little beauty - Apple Blossom - by Elisabeth Bell. I've had her for some while and thought it was about time I used her on a card.
Here she is, sooo cute!
