Pretty Peacock Challenge card

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

I had a very slow start yesterday as my legs were letting me know that they had done too much at the weekend,  although I physically did hardly anything,  just sitting can cause problems too though, Saturday we were sat on hard plastic chairs, when Paul helped me up at the end of the afternoon I really had to bite my tougue, it was that painful. But it wss worth it. 

Maria I am so excited to read that you got to swim in the sea, it's the best feeling isn't it?!! I hope you enjoy every minute if the rest of your holiday. XXX

Today's card started with me wanting to use the colour, it's called 'Pretty Peacock,  I have the ink and card stock, so the stamp set I used for the flourishes is called Flowering Flourishes, I stamped using Pretty Peacock ink, the embossing at the bottom was done using Sara Davies Vintage Lace Collection Lace Edger die, I used a border die for the ribbon and an Oval Punch for the sentiment. A few sparkle in the centre if the flourishes to finish the card. 

I hope that you all have a lovely day, I think the weather has forgotten it's supposed to be June! 

Sending love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra                                                                                xxxxxx

  3. Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. I’m not sure where the last few days have gone. I can’t believe I haven’t commented as I am sure I have looked in! Anyway some lovely cards. I love todays beautiful card, the colour is gorgeous and the lacey edges work perfectly with it.
    I’m so glad that the weather was pretty good for most of the weekend for Her Majesty and those of you that were enjoying the celebrations. I missed seeing the evenings events on tv so will be looking back at them.
    Sandra I hope you have recovered from Saturday my lovely xx
