My card today uses two images from the My Craft Studio "Flourishes" CD that I have merged in my graphics program to form my picture, the backing paper is papermania and Joanna Sheen's “Victorian Companion” The sentiment is computer generated, I then added a ribbon bow. I do hope you like it.xxx

Allsorts

Good afternoon to you all, I hope your weekend is going as planned.This card today is so out of my comfort zone, the challenge is Primary Colours and it is at ALLSORTS I am so not into bright  reds and yellows as a rule,I usually stick to pastel shades!!! but, I must say I ended up really enjoying this. Anyway my image is Mo Manning's "Lacie with Ice cream" coloured with Promarkers,the backing paper is Cuddly Buddly and a scrap of K&Co The flower is from Crafty Feeling,and gems my stash. I decided to use some rafia for a change instead of ribbon and I do like the effect.I do hope you like it.xxx
