How are you? Tilda Magnolia card

 
Here is a card I made recently. Instead of "get well" or" best wishes" the sentiment is" How are you?"

 I have used this gorgeous Tilda image.

Items used:

Colouring - Copics

Flowers, Wild Orchid

Sentiment - computer generated

Butterfly - Martha Stewart

Border punch - Martha Stewart

DP - Wild Rose Studio

Ribbon

Stickles

I didn't have enough of the DP to finish of the inside so I just did a panel with the matching border

Do you think this would cheer someone up?

Thank you for looking and your comments . I love to read them

Lily of the Valley boys card

Here is a card I have made using this gorgeous Lily of the Valley stamp "sailing" It has been ages since I made a little boys card and I loved making this one.
When I saw this image it reminded me of my son when he was little! He is now nearly 21. So making this card brought back lovely memories for me

The buttons were made with a MS punch. It cuts and embosses the button.

I have decorated the inside of the card to match.
I think I will make a few more boy cards. It is a nice trip down memory lane!

 This card is for sale in my Etsy shop

 Thank you for looking

How amazing! Can you believe this?

Yesterday morning we were at a Fayre at a hotel in Bridgenorth. I saw this woman and immediately recognized her as a friend of mine back at Senior school in Birmingham. We hadn't seen each other for 32 years!. She really didn't look any different. It really was amazing. She is now married with a daughter and she and her husband have a wedding photography business in Stourbridge. What is really weird is that I was thinking about her in the morning when I was putting on my make up,. I didn't like my mascaras and remembered the best one I ever had was in a yellow container called California and I bought it from  her as her dad used to have a market stall selling make up and perfume.
 Isn't life strange!

Today I have a Hanglar card to show you for the Lovely Hanglar only challenge.  A boy card for a change. The theme is anything goes.
Hope you like it

My parents 51st Anniversary card

 It was mum and dads 51st Anniversary a couple of weeks ago. For those of you who follow me regularly you will know my dad has not been well for a while. He is so much better now and we had a lovely family meal at Jimmy Spices in Solihull.

This is the card I made for them. It is a bit of a 2 in 1 card as it will stand up against the wall as you can see above. But, it is also an easel card

My First DT card for Cowgirl -Up Stamps

Hope you all had a great weekend.
Well here is my first DT card for Cowgirls Sunday Challenge where the theme is "Scallops and embellishments"
The DT have all made wonderful cards. We have all used images from CJ's shop. I have used the Watering can Image which you can buy here. It is only $1.75 or approx. £1.15. And of course because it is a digital image you can resize it, flip it etc.
I have coloured mine with Copics which you can buy here at Hotshotcrafts.I have also added Glossy Accents over the flowers which you can also buy at Hotshotcrafts. I have added some pink netting which i fed through the back of a pearl button which I bought from  The Hobby House. Here is my list of ingredients

• Paper and cardstock - DCWV and Basic Grey
• Digital image - Cowgirls digital stamp
• Netting
• Pearl Button - The Hobby House
• Martha Stewart punch

I hope you like it. It is going to be used as a leaving card for one of the teachers who is retiring. I still have another 2 retirement cards to make so as soon as I have done them i will post pictures.
Thanks for all the comments you leave.

 The sponsor for this weeks challenge is Crafty Ribbons
