Thank you for visiting my blog yesterday and thanks also to those kind people who signed up as followers. I am so grateful for all my friends from Linda's "community" who made the trip! Phew! It's such a relief to get that first one out of the way. Now it's time to start enjoying it, and you know, I really think I am going to enjoy it!
This is a card I made for my nephew's wife .
The card is pale blue pearlised card, although it doesn't show up too well. The dies are Spellbinders Parisian Motifs/Accents, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts (enhanced with a little help from my Promarkers), the double bow is made from organza ribbon from my local haberdashery store with a little blue WOC rose and the blue pearls are Adhesive Gems from Hobbycraft. I tried to put in a pic showing the cut-out from the die but I couldn't get it right. Never mind I will persevere and get there eventually.
Well that's it for now. Hope to be back tomorrow with something else to show.
Have a good day everybody - hoping for a little sunshine but I think it will probably be nearer the end of the week now.
love and hugs from Christine x

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeletewonderful card. The colour blue is fab too. I do like using pearlised card especially for special cards.
I have family visiting at the mo so I think my blog will be a little longer before it starts now.
Have a great crafty day everyone.
