Girly

The girls and hubby are having a fab time picking all the conkers up in the back garden ... so I made a card!!
I used this week's Friday Sketcher sketch, rotated, hand made flowers from Just magnolia, decoupage from Charisma cards and finally Simon Says Stamp girly.
I coloured my image using promarkers and decoupaged it up. I cut the mat out using my nesties and used worn lipstick distress ink to stamp the pattern on it. I made the flowers, following Michele's fab tutorial, but as I didn't have the die she uses I used my circle nesties and only used 3 circles per flower. I stamped onto the circles and inked the edges.

Here are my flowers ...
and the decoupage ...
Simon Says Stamp ask that you send your card either to Paige or to a sick child ... I am going to cheat and give it to one of the children I mind as she is 9 next week. She has quite bad epilepsy and is gutted that her medication isn't controlling the daily fits, so now needs yet more tablets. So I hope this counts.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Swing Tilda; Cuddly Buddly sentiment
Colouring Media: Promarkers
Papers: DCWV Nursery stack
Embellishments: raffia and pearls from stash
