A TOUCH OF ROMANCE

Hi folks 

Well it looks a nice bright morning here, I do hope we will see sunshine today again like we did yesterday!  It really lifts the spirits to see some sunshine.  Do you agree?

Today I have another creation to share which I made for a Competition last year.  I did no good in the Competition but kept the photos.  It was a double whammy I made here, so there is a shaped card plus a smaller matching gift card.


I think this fits many occasions really, celebrations, Get Well, Special Days etc.

TILDA GETS KRAFTY

Hi folks

I am doing quite well with posting this week for a change, lets hope I can keep it up.

This is a card I made with one or two Challenges in mind. Basically I set out to use Lilac, blue, Kraft, White and buttons and bows.  I think I have ticked all those boxes here.  The bow is not so easy to see but it is there on the right hand side above the flowers.

Tilda is coloured with copis, and you will see I have used a mixture of die-cuts, Magnolia, Memory Box, Cheery Lynn and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I was inspired by the following Challenges:
Colour Create Challenge - Lilac, blue, white and kraft (lovely combination!) 
The Pixie Cottage Challenge - buttons and Bows 
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Getting Krafty 
Willow Sketchie Challenge - Anything Goes 

I am off for a cuppa now,
