The Beautician

Seem to have been away from my blog for a long time, was away for a few days golfing - but that was earlier in the month.  Since then have been busy with gardening, getting hubby to all his appointments and I just don't know where the rest of the time went, always something to do!  But, at last we have been having some beautiful weather!

My card is for my daughter-in-law for her birthday.  She has a shop in her home and keeps very busy, her clients miss her if she goes away for a few days. She does not live close enough for me to be a regular customer.

The vintage  image is from TLC and I have coloured with Copics and framed it with a die cut from Spellbinders, using other die cuts from the same folder on the inside of the card. The DP is from K&Comapny. The sentiment came with the image and I just added some small blue pearls to the frame.  The flower on the inside is from my stash.

Pink Wishes

Well, our weather has turned a lot nicer and I actually got to wear shorts and golf shirt without a jacket to golf in on Monday morning.  Had a good time, even though my golf was not great, it was a Fun day as we  were counting our putts and that was the best part of my game.  Our team won the contest.

A birthday girl with a tiered cake image from Lili of the Valley.  I paper pieced her skirt and shoes and then used copics. Spellbinder flower and leaves die cuts and flowers; DP,  pearls  and stick pin from my stash.   Butterfly with pearls at the top -E K Success punch.  The frame is a die cut from Sizzix.  DP from my stash.

Wow it really is pink!!  Hope my friend like this colour!

Summer Flowers

Well I was going to post this last night, but watched the Voice instead and was busy most of the day, but I'm here at last.  Got wet shopping we have the odd good day, but too many rainy days!

This card is quite similar to my last one, but different colors and flowers.  I made the large one (Spellbinders die cut) and the three small ones (washie tape). The other two flowers are from Recollections.  Used a doily and added leaves, the butterfly, feather and the lace from my stash.  The sentiment is from Nettys Cards and the DP is from K & Company.

I was pleased with how this turned out with all the blues and whites.  Hope you like it!
