A bouquet for you

 Happy Weekend Friends!! I am super duper happy as it's the start of a week off. No firm plans but the forecast looks good so it will be riding, walking, cycling and eating I suspect, in no particular order!

As it's Saturday it's my pleasure to share another bit of inspiration for the challenge at


where the prizes for the winners this month come from one of these lovely sponsors...


The optional theme this week is A bouquet of flowers or you can go for the Anything Goes option of course. Here is my card...


Just lately I have been challenging myself with different styles and techniques so decided to revert to cute mode with this card. She is a lovely rubber stamp from Lili of the Valley that I coloured with my Promarkers to match the pretty MFT paper. The jagged edged die is a charity shop find and the border die is actually one of the first I ever bought.

Here's a close up of her sparkly wings and the rolled rose (Marianne designs I think...very old).
                      


Thank you for calling by, your visit is always appreciated.

See you on Monday with a bit of festive fur!! xx

Everything you've chosen for this sweet card adds to the vintage feel. I love these older LOTV images. Great choice of die to cut out your image panel. Thanks for sharing this with us at Passion for Markers!

Hi Sarah - I'm practically a stranger I've been over to your blog so little in the past six months, such a bad bloggy friend and I apologise.

Was so pleased to see you pop up on my commenting for Crafty Calendar Challenge and to get to come over, say Hi, and take a gander at your really pretty card! And that it is, super pretty and so sweet!!

Thanks so much for joining in with us, and I will be back before another 6 months have passed!!
