Card "I Want To Believe" by Jackie - Ambassador

 

 I do so want to believe, I really do! Do you?? I really love this, I was raised in the 60's when we had such a glamourized version of space travel etc. Watching "Alien" soon had reality hit home, LOL!

I used the image "I Want To Believe" and coloured with pencils and magic mica along with a white pen. A space paper from my stash along with gems and a sentiment finish the card. I do want to believe!

Until next month xxx

Card "Goodnight" by Jackie - Ambassador

 

 Hello there and a Very Happy New Year to all! As we are in the era of "New" I decided to make a new baby card. Nothing is newer than a new life! My darling grandson loves "dinies" so I thought of him when I made this. I am sure his mummy wishes he was better at sleeping!

I used the gorgeous image "Goodnight" and coloured him up with pencils. I used some magic mica to create a sky. A sentiment and die cut flowers complete this celebratory card
