Embossed Vellum Challenge card

Good Morning Ladies

Another challenge card today, this time I embossed onto a square of vellum using the 'Lovely Floral Dynamic' Folder and used chalks to add colour to the reverse of the embossed image as it gives a subtle look and doesn't smudge.
I added some cosmic shimmer glue to the centre of the flower and under the pearls so that it didn't show. I was going for a simple look so I added two tiny bows in opposite corners and a few pearls.
I mounted it onto Pink Pirouette Card to keep with the subtle look.
I hope that I am giving you some ideas.

Today was a very quiet day around the house, Matt was here for part of the day and he mowed both lawns which takes a while, so it was our turn to break the peace!  The lawns are absolutely full of moss, to the point that they are soft and spongy to walk on, Matt said maybe we should treat the lawn but I said no!
I was listening to the radio on the weekend and Pam Ayres was on talking about Hedgehogs, she was explaining that they are in serious danger of becoming endangered which is so sad.  She was suggesting ways of encouraging them, a mossy lawn has lots of worms that hedgehogs feed on, she suggested wood/log piles so that if nothing else bugs would congregate there and feed them too.
Making a small circular hole in your fence so that they can meet up and mate with their neighbours, putting little bowls of water out in the hot weather.  All little things that can help us protect those little cuties.
So if it helps a hedgehog, I am perfectly happy to have a mossy lawn, its very soft to walk on too.

I heard from Sue yesterday, she said she arrived safely and had settled in, they were greeted with bottles of cold water and a cold beer too.  They were going out for dinner and then having an early night after a very early start.  I hope it was the perfect start to the perfect holiday for them. xx

Pat is coming over today which will be nice, we also have some new patio furniture being delivered, which I am very excited about. Maybe we can have lunch in the sun.
