We've been so busy here, that I wasn't sure I'd be able to make a card for the Blog Party, but I managed to get an hour in my craft room yesterday evening and made a card. I've used the layout from this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge - WMSC84 as the basis for the design. I used soft, pastel colours and made a background with the lovely doily sets. I used some vellum to make the panel across the card and added some gems. The tag was cut using my Labels Four Spellbinders die and I coloured the image with promarkers. Finally, I added a simple sentiment. It's been a bit grey here, so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's Spring themed cards..jpg)
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Bountiful Baskets Additions, Spring Baskets, Doilies Large, Doilies Small
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Certainly Celery
Spellbinders: Labels Four (S4-190) #5
Accessories: Ribbon, gems, promarkers, embossing powder and card from stash
Today is the official start of our move to America. Jonathan heads off this morning and should arrive in Detroit by 4.30pm (US) time - we follow him in about four weeks. It's all very busy, very exciting, but Kathryn and I both miss Jonathan when he's away. But we do have a trip to my Mum's to look forward to. We're having a weekend with family - the last time for a while. See you soon.
Such a fabulous spring card, Deborah. I love the embossed frame. Note to self: emboss more! Hope your move preparations go smoothly.
ReplyDeletePerfectly spring inspired Deborah.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend with your family.

Super texture with the embossing for the background & the shine pikcs up on the vellum beautifully (not to mention the ribbon). Hope Jonathan has a safe uneventful journey.
