Especially for You

Here's a recent commission card make for a husband to give to his wife and as both are very keen gardeners, I thought this would fit the bill.

As usual I played with some Lili of the Valley items.  The image is from Art Pad 24 - English charm and the papers are from the Promises pad.

The sentiment was made using a Tattered Lace words die. I managed to piece together the word 'Wife' using letters from other words. Hopefully the join isn't too noticeable.

I also used Martha Stewart punches and the roses, ribbon and gems are from my stash.

Engagement

Here's a recent commissioned card to celebrate a happy couple's engagement and is destined for Spain although I'm told the proposal took place on the London Eye when they were here in the U.K. for a short break.

I used an 8x8 card blank and DPs from Dovecraft (pale pink) and the dark pink is Love Letters from First Edition - the tag is from this pad also. I used a Martha Stewart Heart Edger punch to add detail. The image is from a LOTV Art Pad and was cut into a heart shape and I used Stickles around the edge to add sparkle.

The flowers, ferns and leaves were cut using a Tattered Lace Midi Blooms die which is so versatile and the large and small Congratulations were cut with Britannia dies.  Gems and ribbon from stash.

Where's the Sun...??

Where indeed! Well, what another miserable Bank Holiday weatherwise - such a shame for all those events planned. I read in yesterday's paper that we're going to have an Indian Summer so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Today's card features a cute LOTV fairy who is certainly enjoying her summer - love those sunglasses!

Image is matted and layered with Tonic Deco Geometric Layering dies onto Dovecraft DPs. I used Glossy Accents and Stickles to add some bling. The flowers were cut using a Tattered Lace Midi Blooms die.
