With Much Love

Good afternoon my friends and fellow bloggers, and it's another cold and wet one too. When I got up the sun was shining and I was getting quite hopeful - but it wasn't to be!

My Card


Click on image to enlarge picture

This is an A5 size card. I used SB M-Bossabilities Dainty Dots for the background. The Cheery Lynn French Pastry doily and the SB Damask long motifs (or accents, whichever!) were cut from very pale aqua pearlescent cardstock. The Lili of the Valley sentiment was stamped and diecut with the largest SB Damask motif. Pale aqua ribbon, aqua pearls and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished it off. I think it might have been better to have raised the centre motif with foam pads because it is disappearing into the background. I might try and fix it if I can remove it without damage.

Well, I hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially you ladies who work!

Love and hugs from Christine xx

Hi Christine, beautiful card, lovely design and colour so delicate. It would be nice if you could raise the centre motif but if not it is still lovely.
