Hanglar with no image

I'm a fan of hanglar, but I had purchased these bargain paper pads and the papers are sooo lovely that I decided that I would use a sentiment from one of the Hanglar kits and this is what I came up with

Just gonna stick everything I have, on ere today

Orange this time, sent to this to my friend for her birthday, this Hanglar stamp isn't one of my favourites I just find that I always struggle with this one :(

Hanglar

When I was a little girl I hated the colour brown, but I just can't get enough of the colour in my card making.

Started this card at Christmas time. Its a lovely hanglar stranglar image. the easel card is 6x6.
backing papers are K&CO and bazzill card. flowers are from wild orhids. sizzix swirls leaves are from a marianne die.

coloured in with copis and added glitter
also added a charm "just for you" these are so sweet.
