Annie Rodrigue has gone medieval on us this month. As you may

a queen, a knight, a minstral and a dragon!!! Also we've got another

one of Annie's incredible paintings made into a stamp Marie Antoinette!

Also we have a super sweet image featuring Cindy and Mindy called,

"You Make Me Happy". You will get to checkout all the new stamps

throughout our fabulous blog hop today!

Now, if you have just arrived from beautiful Diana's Blog you are

definitely on the right track...But if by chance you just dropped in to

see what I have been up to, head on over to the

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog 

and start from the beginning...

Cause I tell you what YOU will NOT want to miss this!

For my Blog Hop card I decided to colour Annie's gorgeous

Marie Antoinette...

When I first started to colour in Marie I really didn't have a clue what I 

was going to end up with. But as I finished colouring her I really

didn't want to spoil the image by putting a lot of embellishments

and making the card too fussy...So I kept is pretty simple

and just used this gorgeous DP from The Paper Paperie 

called "Paper Girl" as a background add a bit 

of matching ribbon and used my Fiskas border punch

and some Kaiser Craft Pearls ...

Now you ALL know how much I LOVE to colour...But I have to tell you

this card took me a couple of hours to get the colours just right

* I used 5 different Prisma colours for Marie's dress alone!*

and even though I think it looks so much better IRL ...I loved every minute!!!

Now, I won't keep you much longer but I just 

a few things that you might want to know....

As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment
