I hope have all had a good day.
As seems to be the norm nowadays mine has been super busy .. .. and it has left no time for any colouring :-( .. .. so a make using my dies and sewing machine this evening instead.
So here we go .. .. ..
This used:
Backing Papers: Nitwits
Sizzix Dies: "656079" Flower Layers #5 and "655217" Decorative Accent, Swirl
Image: Hero Arts "S5316" Silhouette Grass
Sentiment: Great Impressions "E411"
My Trust Sewing Machine
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Swiss Dots
Distress Ink: Bundled Sage
White Gel Pen
Buttons, Ribbon and Brad from Stash Box
and that is my share for today.
Our "pretend" Auntie definitely liked the card I made for her 90th birthday. She had a huge pile of cards waiting to be opened today (though she was contemplating opening them at midnight .. .. bless!!!). But she opened ours whilst we were there and it was placed on the mantelpiece.
We also had a celebration drink. She checked who was driving and because it was hubby she was well chuffed because we could both have a G&T. But boy oh boy was it a strong one!!! I wonder if that is her secret to a long and healthy life? Best get hubby to mix me a glass just in case .. .. but not so strong as yesterday!! LOL!!
Right, can't hang about today .. .. need to get that Cuttlebug into action .. .. lots of cutting needs to be done!! My lovely couples are definitely keeping me busy!! Woo hoo!!
Have a great evening everyone.
Love

That's just gorgeous Jules - I've only sewed a card once - still freaks me out - your straight lines make it look so easy.

Perfect design as always. Glad to hear your happy couples are keeping you busy or you might have too much time for more G&Ts! Hugs x
Hi Jules,
Finally back to commenting!!
Love this card - has a real folksy feel to it and is so very pretty.

And no need for colouring either - you've made a great card without any. Although, as it would take me just as long to get out my sewing-machine, thread it up and hope that I manage to sew a straight line, not to mention cutting flowers out with the Cuttlebug, I would probably be quicker doing the colouring. Anyway, I love your buttonholes and the flower is gorgeous. Glad to hear your wedding couples are keeping you busy. Elizabeth x

A beautiful card Jules, I must get out my old Sizzix dies as well. Glad you'd a bit of relax time with a large G&T, it could be the secret....
No time here for much at the moment, I was glad of the rain today,it meant I could finish orders without feeling guilty about the garden.Wedding work tomorrow, hoping to finish it by monday.
Take care

What a lovely card. I love the way the spotty bp matches the embossed flower and your use of the buttonholer is a brilliant idea.
