Another Challenge Card

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well, we are almost at the end of another week, I can hardly believe that it's almost June, almost half way through the year! The weather feels more like march though, we had the fire lit last night, I could not get warm last night at all. We still can't have the heating on, so the only warm place was the lounge.

Today's card is another Sketch Challenge Card, I used the Paper Boutique 'Butterfly Ballet'' 8 x 8 paper pad and a matching topper for this card along with some of the card from the matching card pack, which I used for matting and layering.  I used a punch to create a green and then pink border strip, I topped these with a piece of lace, that kind of fitted the pattern of the border.
I then took a circle topper, edged it with pink ink and cut a pink doily with a die and then a circle of matching green card to layer it on, I added foam pads to the back and mounted it on the border.
I die cut another sentiment and backed it with the same green card and tucked that under my circle sentiment, I edged this sentiment with pink ink too . I took some of the off cuts of both pink and green card and die cut some flowers and leaves and added them around the sentiments, tucking the foliage behind the flowers and adding three little rose buds wrapped together on each side of my flower, following the leaves.

I had two lovely visitors yesterday, both Sue and Pat came to play, we sat and chatted and had lunch and then all three of us went into the craft room.  I had my first go at the 'Groovi' and I really enjoyed it, I was a little heavy handed with the 'white work' but lesson learned, it's something completely new so I am allowed a few mishaps, I am determined to make a card out of my design so watch this space!

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Val we are missing you,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
