Green Monotone

Good morning my crafty friends.  This will be a quick post this morning. John is still messing around with my computer so I was unable to do this last night. Just as well I'm an early riser.

My Card



Click on image to enlarge picture


My card is 6 x 6 inches.  The backing papers are actually two different papers but in the picture they look the same.  They are from the Papermania pad Lucy Cromwell.  The frame and sentiment are JustRite Stamps Grand Sentiments and this particular frame is designed to work with SB Resplendent Rectangles.  I stamped them onto the smaller patterned paper with Brilliance pigment ink pad Pearlescent Jade.  The larger diecut and the Memory Box Fabulous Plox have been cut from Cordinations card.  Some pearls from my stash finished it off.

The reason my post is short and sweet is because my nephew and his children will be arriving around 1 pm and I have quite a few things to get done before they arrive.  Not least baking the cakes that the children love!  I hope the weather stays fine for their visit because they have lots of plans, as always!!

My crafting and blog visiting will probably be a bit haphazard but I will be around when I can.  Hope you all have a fabulous day.

Love and hugs from Christine xx
