Good morning. I'm sorry that I have been missing all week but we booked a very last minute holiday and went up to Scotland. We were so lucky and had glorious weather! I packed lots of clothes for warm weather and wet weather but I did throw in a few teeshirts thankfully. I never wore a cardigan or sweater the entire week. We were in a fabulous cottage, with beautiful gardens, on the shores of Loch Ryan so it wouldn't have been a hardship to stay "at home" if the weather was bad. Luckily that was not the case. I also managed to meet up with a friend who lives near Ayr, We have known each other for about 35 years and rarely meet but when we do, my goodness you would think we had never been apart!! John and Jim couldn't get a word in! A great afternoon and evening!
Anyway, my post today is my DT card for the OSAAT challenge "Layer It Up" Now this is a really simple challenge so I'm sure many of you could add a card to it.

My Card
Recipe
7" base card from Anne Marie Designs
pink striped card stock - "Victorian Roses" from The Works
image - "Greek Window" by Ikes Art
corner die - "Austrian Collection" Sue Wilson
Promarkers to colour
pearls - ancient stash
Eventually my card came together well, but I must admit I was struggling initially and realised that rushing to get it done before I went away wasn't working and decided that I would have to give this challenge a miss. I tried again the next day and I guess because the pressure was gone it came together okay and I like the result. These card stacks fromThe Works are great value at £4 for a 12 inch card stock. In fact some are even £3. The dark pink mat behind the image is the reverse of the striped card.

Well that's it from me today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend whatever you are doing - hopefully something nice!

ReplyDeleteLucky you to get to spend time in Scotland, and it sounds perfectly beautiful. Glad the weather was cooperative for you to enjoy outside as well. And additionally enjoying good times with old friends. What a wonderful vacation you must have had! Love your card - a lovely window scene with the pretty pot of flowers.

This is such a pretty card. It has a really calm feel to it! I know that probably sounds weird, but it just strikes me as a lovely card to give to someone who needs a wee bit of calm in their life.

I will send a long one back just as soon as I catch my breath as we have rushed up to see Mum again and leve for another visit on the 17th...
