It's a fairly simple card - and a very girly one!
I've coloured the image with promarkers, with pastel shades. The lovely backing paper is from a First Edition pad called Birdsong - and it has lovely embossed & shiny flowers although they don't really show up on the photo I'm afraid. The card is 7"x5" - a change from my usual 6" square!
I've just added the fence (a DooHickey die) cut on coredinations card and then lightly sanded back to give a little 'weathered' feel to the fence - although our garden fences are looking definitely a bit more 'weathered' than that at the moment lol! After all the recent wind & rain our fences are definitely on the 'heavily battered' side of 'weathered'!
The sentiment stamp is from LOTV - with a couple of little sparkly gems coloured with promarkers to match. The flower embellishments I've die cut on the Big Shot from felt, using a Sizzix flower die and a Marianne Creatables one - a bit of mix and match going on there. The buttons are from my stash.
I do like to add fabric to cards & scrapbook pages, etc., as I think they give an extra dimension. I admit that I'm addicted to fabrics of all sorts, have an over-flowing stash of many different materials - and even occasionally use some of them! And buttons are always a favourite embellishment.
So, that's it! Quite a straightforward & fairly simple card from me. Hope you like it!
I'm off out for lunch today with a friend I haven't seen for about 6 months so really looking forward to a chat & catch up (and the addition of a scrummy cake will be very nice too!). Then it's back to work tomorrow :(
Enjoy the sunshine, Kim x

Hey Kim!!! yes it's a lovely sunny day in Eastbourne too. Wow it makes you feel so much better with a bit of sunshine. Thank you so much for putting up a pic of your gorgeous Poppy cat!!! awww she is lovely (even if she is a bit grumpy lol!). I absolutely love your card hun, especially those gorgeous felt cut flowers. That is a lovely stamp too and you have certainly achieved that weathered look with the fence. Hope you enjoy the weather this week Kim. Hugs Clare xxx
