Hello all - hope you're having a good weekend? Not too busy here thankfully! I've had a busy week and so it's nice to have a more relaxed weekend, chance to 'chill' a little bit and recharge the batteries before I'm back at work on Monday! My youngest son has now finished school - well, gone onto study leave and going in for exams. I can't believe that my "baby" is now sitting his GCSE exams and will shortly be going into the Sixth Form at school! The years just seem to fly by! I know he thinks he's all grown up, and admittedly he does tower over me a bit (I'm 5'4" on a good day, with a following wind, if I stand up straight, and he's now about 6'1" not to mention the added height from the natty hairdo!) but to me he'll always be the baby of the family lol! It's quite scary sometimes when we look at our offspring and see them with jobs, homes, etc., - surely that can't be right? I'm still 21 inside! Lol!
Anyway, as I had chance to have a relax this afternoon, I made a cute card using one of my favourite LOTV stamps (well, I love them all really)
I've coloured the stamp with a mixture of copics, Graphit and promarker pens
The papers are from LOTV, as are the sentiment tags. I've added some die cut flowers using the DooHickey doily flower die, with pearl centres, and finished with some stitching.
And the inside has been decorated to match!
Hope you like it. I was quite pleased with the colours, I think they work well together.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, whatever you have planned. And I hope that we all have a little Spring sunshine!
Back soon,
Kim x
I've added this card to my Etsy shop -
