Hi Folks
Hope you are well and had a good weekend. My daughters are going to Greece on Thursday for a week's holiday together. They are taking great enjoyment in reminding me of this fact every possible minute they can. All I can think of at the moment is a week of peace and quiet and no mess lol. Glad I am at work on Thursday while they are packing, it will be manic here.
Just wanted to pop by and share this card that I was asked to make by a friend of mine.
I have been having a play with sparkle medium and stencil from Imagination Crafts. For the main image I used the Butterfly Blossom Border stencil and Rose Shimmer sparkle medium. I did a bit of inking with some aged mahogany distress ink around the edges and in the centre. This was then matted onto kraft card. The background paper is from a First Edition paper pad called Sweet Owl. Again, I inked around the edges with the same distress ink. The central sentiment was stamped onto white card, distressed round the edges and mounted onto a spellbinders scalloped square die. I added some ribbon across the centre and topped it with some pearl trim from The Hobby House. A sentiment from Craftwork Cards and some flowers and gems from my stash completed the card.
Thanks for popping by and for the lovely comments you leave. I enjoy reading every one and would love to know what you think.

Lovely card Mags. Thank you for joining the challenge at Whoopsi Daisy. Hope to see you again next time.
This is stunning.
What a beautiful card x
Just cottoned on to the fact after seeing your kind comment that I was not one of your stalkers. Trouble with DT's is that you comment on entries and recognise regulars and assume you are following, so I am sorry but just rectified things.
Lovely card here btw.
