Sweet Stampin' - sympathy or thinking of you

Happy Saturday :o)

Our challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week is 'sympathy or thinking of you', so I thought I'd use a brand new Hydrangea Set from DigiStamp Boutique, which includes the fab flower image and lots of useful sentiments.



Image & Sentiment - Hydrangea Set - DigiStamp Boutique
Colouring - copics
(Flower B60, B21, B63, BV25  Leaves G21, G24, YG67, G99  Background E41, E42)
White linen card - Papermill Direct
Papers - Crafter's Companion
Flower centres - Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Gloss White
Twill tape - Fantastic Ribbons
Inked Edges - Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap
Pearls from my stash

I've been to test drive my new car today... eeeeeek!  For the last 17ish years I've driven a Corsa... the same Corsa for all those years, gradually getting more and more decrepit, but still plodding along and running fine.  I don't like change!  Recently I was driving along and the exhaust fell off lol, but that got fixed and all was well again.  But my lovely mum decided it was time for a new one, so she's only gone and bought me one!  It's a Nissan Note, not brand new, but a very swish and shiny upgrade from my old faithful falling to bits banger... it'll be coming home in a few days and instead of being excited I'm terrified, I can't imagine driving anything else!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, thanks for popping in :o)

Beautiful card Lisa. I love that cornflower blue colour and stunning hydrangea stamp. So pretty, all the layers are fabulous. How exciting (and terrifying) about your new car. Yay for your awesome mummy! Bet you'll be zooming around happily in it, in no time! Hugs, Wends xoxo

Really beautiful card Lisa! Fab colouring of the lovely digi and lovely blue card.
Wow, you've got a generous mum! Don't worry after a week or so you'll be bombing along up those Sheffield hills in no time. Enjoy your lovely shiny car, and yes would love to see a photo :). Debra x

Very pretty card, the image is perfect for 'thinking of you' and for sympathy too which are always hard to make.
You'll be used to your new car in no time!
