The backing papers are from a set of 12" × 12" papers that I got from QVC last year - I can't remember the name of the company - but the set is so pretty. The papers are double sided, embossed and some have glitter on them. It's a girly set with fairies, castles, flowers and wonderful soft colours. I stamped the windmill image onto plain white card and cut out with my nesties. I then sponged on the sky and ground. I stamped three more windmills and coloured them in with Promarkers. One formed the base which I glued to the the sponged mat. I made a mini decoupage with the other two images - cutting out the windmill blades from one and the central flower from the other. I added a few gems for sparkle.

In the close-up picture you can just about see the decoupage effect on the windmill blades. I had such fun making this card - I think these Polka Doodle stamps are such fun - really whimsical!! Perfect for a girl turning 11 years old!!
That's all for today. But do drop by tomorrow - I have another card to share with you. Bye for now.
