Mojo Monday

Another card today, the result of my afternoon crafting. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday. I made a couple of cards, I will post another tomorrow. This one I kept simple.

I used one of Ruth's new digi images 'Drumstick Primula'. This image and others can be seen on 'A Passion for Stamps'.

I coloured this with Promarkers and covered the image with Diamond Glaze. The photo does not show this too well. The colours are not true either, the Nestie and layers are a very deep pink, but seem to be more red on screen. I used a Cuttlebug dots panel, Liquid Pearls and some twine from my stash.
