Anyway, on to today's card. I thought I'd share with you the card I made for my eldest step-daughter Charlotte's birthday that was last week
I used a Sarah Kay stamp 'Time for Apple Pie' and coloured her with promarkers and pencils
And for once I was quite pleased with my colouring (I'm usually my own worst critic!). The backing papers are from Teresa Collins and First Edition, with coredinations card for matting & layering. I've used a Spellbinders floral oval die, with some added stitching and lace. The little wooden embellishment is from CraftyEmblies, and the heart die is a Marianne one.
The scrummy flowers are from Wild Orchid of course
and the inside was decorated to match
I was quite pleased with the red and beige colours together, I think they worked ok.
I hope you like it!
Well, I'd better set off with a very big rubbish bag to start clearing out - it's amazing how much clutter one family can accumulate!
Back soon, Kim x

Hi Kim, I've just had a wander back over your last cards / makes and realised how long it is since I popped by! I'm blaming the week of housework I've had - done it now so you'll have me waffling away more regularly on your blog - if that's OK!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and the cross stitch was fab (I used cross stitch before the card making took over!). This card is just so sweet - love the image and heart is really pretty!!
Hope you have a more relaxing week now the decorating is over.

This is gorgeous and I am sure your Stepdaughter loved it. I agree the colours look lovely together and your colouring of the image is awesome as is the layout. Hope the bathroom project is under way okay and Tilly is getting enough attention. Lol!!!
