The image I've used is from this months sponsor for Challenges 4 Everybody, Sherri Baldy. I pretty happy with how the top and bow have come out, but think I need a little more practise on hair.
Using a classic combination of colours for me, pink and blue, I've mounted the coloured image on co-ordinating background papers, finished with a simple sentiment, a feather and a wonderful die cut of a very intricate butterfly from Tattered Lace. It's my first Tattered Lace die, think I will be buying more, I just love it!
Now that the challenge is on for a whole month, you have plenty of tine to join in and try to win yourself some fab goodies.

Very cute. I struggle with hair too. I do believe, however, that we are own worst critic. I think your hair is fabulous.
