I'm not very happy with my card (surprise, surprise!), it doesn't look at all like the idea that was in my head. I used my new Cheery Lynn fanciful flourish die, a little x cut flower punch, Kars butterfly punches, and some scraps of Raspberry Rd paper and core'dinations card. The pearls are from my stash and the sentiment is Penny Black, stamped in 'London Fog' memento ink.
I'm feeling a bit frazzled today... the boys have been squabbling all day and they're SO noisy! They're now sat giggling over a book together, which is an improvement on the squabbling but still very noisy lol. Oh well, they'll be in bed soon and I can have some peace.... Hope you're all surviving the school holiday, will be round to catch up on some commenting later :o)
It is beautiful Lisa, don't know what you are worried about.

I have two boys myself and they dont break up for easter until thursday...i must admit they are both very well behaved but they have the odd day where I feel like theyve been possessed by the devil lol

What a naughty girl you are Lisa, it's a beautiful card. I've had lots of ideas for this challenge and coloured lots of different images yesterday but nothing finished. At least I got my Totally Gorjuss DT card finished. I could do with a local holiday every Monday lol!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone ever tell you it doesn't get any better when they get older, just different!! When Mhairi, my youngest, comes to visit I can never hear myself think or concentrate on the telly she sometimes yaks so much lol!! Always been like that!

Oh this is just beautiful sweetie, love the delicacy of it, so gorgeous. 'fraid I'm the same with photos - my head gets stuck with the first image that registers - this time it was the daisies. Ho hum. Must oil my thinking cogs more often. Adore what you have done. Hugs Sxx
