I have the headache from hell today, and I strongly suspect it was brought on from an overindulgence of chocolates! It was my birthday yesterday and I had so many chocolate gifts that I absolutely had to try - and one unfortunately led to many!
To try and alleviate my pain I decided to make a card for the Sunday Challenge on Dottie's World. As the theme was "It's a girls thing" I used one of our brand new "Sugar & Spice" images, they are just too cute for words! This card was uber quick to make, apart from the colouring in it took me under half an hour, and that's quick for me - and then two hours to get the pictures taken, the light is awful at the moment.
A very simple inside ready for the greeting
I used one one of the new Martha Stewart Deep Edge punches for this card, isn't it fab?
This is such a lovely image drawn by our Lou. You can get it for free if you win our blog candy :-)
Products used here are:Image from the Sugar & Spice digi-stamp bundle. I coloured in with Copic Markers.
Heart border is paper from Imaginisce Perfectly Posh, all rub-ons and ribbon are from that range too.
Plain cardstock
Cake inside the card is K&Co Madeline Chipboard
Prima Swirls
Tools used: Tim Holtz Paper Distresser, Nestabilites dies, Martha Stewart Deep Edge punch.
Very simple card to make as the edge and the image really is all it needs.
I mentioned it was my birthday yesterday and one of the highlight of my day was when a totally beautiful, and absolutely massive, bouquet of flowers were delivered. They were from my very special friend Lou, just take a look!! Sorry for the backdrop, the only place I can get any light is in the conservatory.
Totally stunning!! Thank you so much Lou my darling ♥♥♥♥♥xxxxxxxxx
I also got cards from some of my wonderful forum members, Mellie, Shell and Lea. Here they are with my card from Lou:

I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas break. Thanks for visiting ♥
