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

This card is for sale on Ebay

What a distressing day!!!!!!

Yesterday in my card lessons I got our my distress inks and had my ladies making cards with them. It is so quick and easy to make cards with these inks and I always think they look amazing.

The stamp is one I bought from Rubbernecker at Ally Pally. I added alittle bit of Stickles to the thistles

I hope you like them

I wonder which one she will choose?

I was asked to make a 45th Wedding Anniversary card for a friend to give to her husband. He loves fishing. I wasn't sure which way to go with so I made 2 ( so far!)

I have said if she isn't keen on either of these I will try again.

Personally I prefer the blue, silver and white one. What about yoju?

Thank you for your visit

White and black wedding card

 

One of the girls at Michaels work is getting married on Saturday and I was asked to make  card for everyone to sign.

So,I came up with this one. I just used a variety of dies, Nestabilities, Cheery Lynn and Die-Namics and some gems and pearls.

As the weather is glorious here I am off out into the garden. It is about time I did some work out there!!!
