How charming


A quick post and no time for blog hopping at the moment. A pile of ironing awaits and unfortunately the ironing fairy hasn't been whilst I have been at work. Another A5 card order for an elderly mum who loves flowers. I love making these larger cards, though they are more time consuming. The larger area gives so much more scope. I coloured this lovely Pollycraft image with Promarkers and used a glitter pen on the stems and leaves. I then added a few white highlights. The papers are Papermania Boutique again. I love this set of papers, they are so elegant. The cream flowers are Hero Arts and the purple ones are Prima. The leaves were cut using a Sizzix die and the sentiment was done on the computer. It's the first time I have used a charm on a card, which I got from Quixotic Paperie. Check out Elaine's fab shop. Other products are from stash. The sketch is from Sketch Saturday and the other 2 challenges both require a charm this week. They are Lili of the Valley who have some gorgeous new stamps available to pre-order, and Stamp Something.
