Sweet Blossom

Good morning. Well what a change yesterday. Much cooler and rather overcast and therefore able to actually do things. The evening was the best part of the day and the sun came out around 4.30 pm. However, it is forecast to be another scorching week.

Watched a very exciting Tour de France final last night. Even though we already knew that Brtitain's Chris Froome had won the yellow jersey it was no less exciting.  This was the 100th Tour and our second consecutive win - the only times we have ever won the best bike race in the world!!! Hooray!!!! We've certainly had a good year for sport again.

Anyway, back to crafting.

My Card


Click on image to enlarge picture

This is my usual 6 x 6 card and today I used a Sylvia Zet topper from The Hobby House.  I matted it onto an SB Petite Scalloped Circle.  I love the muted tones of this topper and the backing papers from First Edition "Love Letters " matched absolutely perfectly.  The flowers are Brittania dies Roses but these dies are so versatile that you can make many different flowers with them and I thought my daisies tied in with the flowers in the topper.  The leaves are Cheery Lynn  Leaf Strip.  The sentiment is a rub on from The Scrapbook House which I bought from a craft shop which closed down years ago.  I bought quite a few at the time and they seemed pretty expensive but the quality is excellent, even after all this time. Pink pearls as flower centres finished the card.

Well, that's it from me. Have a good day.

Love and hugs from Christine xx

    Oh Christine! What a precious little image! Love how you coloured her and all the sweet embellies. We had a lovely day yesterday too. Nice and cool, although I shouldn't really complain because our weather hasn't been really as hot as yours. Used to think the British summer was all about rain! lol. Have a sweet and sunny day, my friend!
    hugs, Asha

    This is so sweet Christine. Great papers and those flowers match beautifully. I've seen this topper before and was really impressed, but it looks even nicer in your layout.

    Super card.

    Hugs Sue Pxxx

    PS I'm bloomin' miserable in this heat - it was lovely this morning, quite cool and misty then at lunchtime that big orange orb came out and spoilt it for me!!
