"Brace Yourselves"!!!!

Ok, my poor husband, like many other craft/blog widower's has

been feeling a little neglected of late, so as a compromise I took

my water colour paints downstairs this weekend and sat in the

lounge and painted whilst he watched the TV!!! How fair am I??Lol,

Well I quite enjoyed the T.V. in the background! No intellectual

conversations or anything like that!! ha ha. So that means I have

lots to post!!! First one being........This little card I made for the

Friday Sketchers 1st Year Anniversary! Hip Hip Hooray!!

You all need to enter this one, not only is there a fabulous prize

to be won but you also get to win from the fabby designers,

Their Card!!! (works of art all of them) OMG but can you imagine

owning one of Claudia's???? and a little gift/RAK too!

This great sketch was created by Carole and this is my take on it.

Papers are BG Archaic, Tilda I have coloured with my water

colour pencils and palette. Flowers and lace from stash, the orange

ribbon inserts on two of the flowers I hand stitched by twisting the

ribbon and tacking at the bottom to make a rose shape. Blue

butterfly has been punched and I have used string pearls for the

body and also for the swirls. As I have hand stitched my roses and

used faux stitching around border and on the punched hearts it

makes this card suitable for the Great Just Magnolia Challenge

only do you win a fab prize but you get to be a guest designer for

June whoop magnificent!!! So what are you waiting for!!!
