Patchwork Daisy

Good afternoon friends.

Hope you have all had a good weekend. I booked today off work because I knew that I had to make cards for my DT's and friends but you know what they say "best laid plans"!!!  We went to out daughters Saturday evening and left this morning in good time but we called in at a shopping centre. We then went to Russ's mums and ended up going out for lunch with her and Russ's niece and great niece. So I have actually in two days made a whopping 1 card!!! I really hope my mojo stays for tomorrow.

I have made this card for my parent's to give to their friends for their Diamond Wedding. Mum didn't want anything mushy so I got out one of my favourite stamps.

Card blank is by Craftwork Cards and the papers are In the Meadow too by Nitwit Collections. 

Got withdrawal symptoms for my Memory box butterfly die so here it is again.

The flowers are all from WOC

The butterfly die on the right of the card is Butterflight by Tim Holtz which I purchased from a local store. This is another of my favourite dies. 

The image has been coloured in with Copic Markers and the shadow around the image is a Polychromo pencil. The gems are from my own stash.

I am entering this card into the following challenges.

Patchwork Daisy

Good afternoon blogger friends.

I didn't think I would be back today but I was just having 5 mins whilst wandering around the web when I clicked on Lili's Little Fairies Challenge blog. They have extended the current challenge whilst they search for some more DT members. Well, there's I thought, I thought (does that make sense). And the next minute I am in my craft room putting together a card to fit this challenge. (Has to include black). Well I tell you, a miracle happened this afternoon. Normally a card would take me between 2 and 4 hours depending on the mojo.  But I kid you not I have completed the card and will have published it in approx 2hrs. I have to say I am pretty pleased with the results

So here goes. 

Patchwork Daisy

The card blank is from Craftwork Cards. The image is by LOTV and is called Patchwork Daisy - so cute. I have used Copic Markers and a Polychromo Pencil for the shadow.

The papers are by Gina Jane Studios and are a download.  I love these papers - don't know why I haven't used them before.  The ribbon is from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. The butterfly die is by Memory box.

Patchwork Daisy

Good evening blogger friends.

I would like to say a big thank for all the anniversary wishes I received.  Russ and I had a wonderful time and yes I did occasionally turn my computer off!!! I have to say though I need to seriously get some sleep before I am back at work on Sunday. Part of our relaxation involved drinking a bit too much red wine and I'm afraid it relaxes Russ's jaw a bit too much as my goodness he can't half talk a load of old rubbish in his sleep. Would have been quite entertaining if I hadn't been so tired. 

Now I am back home I am looking forward to spending some time visiting your blogs and viewing your wonderful creations. Below is a card I made for a friend who has a 65th Wedding anniversary party this weekend. 

LOTV - Patchwork Daisy

The card blank is by Craftwork Cards and the papers are by Sassy Designs. If you haven't already visited them they are well worth a browse as there is a massive 88% off the papers at the moment.

The flowers are by WOC.

The ribbon punch is by Martha Stewart which I purchased at the LOTV shop - such a wonderful place to visit. Viewing all there card samples is just paradise. 

The butterfly die is by Memory box and is available in many on line stores. 

The sentiment is also by LOTV and the poppy die is by Memory Box

I am entering this card into the following challenges
