Sweet Poppy the Circus Girl....

Hi there everyone, Emma here...

Well I had a bit of free time over the last weekend and decided to make another little Christmas gift....yes, it's another notebook!!!  These are my new favourite things to make at the minute hehehe!!!
I also could NOT resist using one of the new Saturated Canary images designed by the very sweet Krista Smith,  I am SOOOOO in love with them all....


....I thought I would join in with the sketch over at the Saturated Canary Challenge blog which I thought was fabby, so this is my take on the sketch!!!  I used some papers by Bo Bunny and My Minds Eye, all the edges have been distressed, glittered and machine stitched,  The gorgeous lace is from Hobbycraft and the delicate pink ribbon is from the fabulous Fred Aldous here in Manchester...


...the seam binding ribbon I have used on the notebook rings is from the market....


....'Poppy the Circus Girl' has been coloured with grey lead pencil....as you all know I still LOVE doing this style of colouring!!! I am so LOVING these images....I think I may get addicted to them!!!  The cute little birdhouse charm is from Crafty Emma's Store and the nobbly bobbly trim is from my stash....


...the flowers are a bit of a mix, some by Prima and Hobbycraft and I made the tiny pink twisted rose from seam binding which you can see there peeking out,  I made a tutorial HERE on how you can make these...

Thanks so much for looking and for the amazing comments you all leave me, they really do make my day...
Biggest huggles
