Sentimental

It's never a good idea to leave DT work till the last minute as things have a habit of going wrong and what seems like a reasonable plan fails in every respect!  Think my report card this week will read, "Could do better!"

More of my ramblings in a minute, but first the latest challenge over at MAWTT set by Christine, and to feature a sentiment as the focal point - no stamped pics - just a verse! 

So my card uses one of the great Visual Image sentiment stamps I won at the Stamping Sensations Challenge a couple of months back, (thanks again), and combines white and ivory card and several of my favourite dies.

As for the colour of the card - yeah...white and ivory, not beige, and certainly not pink!  Oh the joys of night photography with a failing battery!

Solitary Sunflower

Today's card is for my next door neighbour for her Birthday today.  Happy Birthday Stella!

It's a CAS card using a single sunflower and a little verse...and as we are heading off today on a little adventure I thought the sentiment quite fitting!

Sorry again for the horrid colour of the photo - soon be summer and I'll have better pics! So my card is a first for me - Tim Holtz pens, a water spritz and ta-da a card!

The flower head is double stamped then a lovely sparkly from Hobby House popped in the centre.
