INSPIRATION FROM THE DENTIST'S CHAIR!!!!!

Good morning blog friends - yup this is me in the morning so you will have to watch my tryping! 

Whilst I am here I would really love you to check out the Bearly Mine Blog - they have a MEGA candy giveaway at the moment - you can find it here http://bearlymine.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/mega-blog-candy.html.

Anyway this is the card I was thinking about in the dentist's chair on Wednesday - at least it took my mind off the drill that sounded like something out of Formula One inside my head.


I really love these butterflies, they are both from Spellbinders.

 
Isn't this sentiment sweet and so lovely when it happens!

I hope you like my dentist's chair creation - I'm quite pleased with it (wonder if the meds I took had helped- lol).  Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my wafflings - if you have time, please leave a comment 'cos I love reading them.
 
Big hugs to you all

  11. Well dear lady this was definitely worth the wait. What a stunning card! I love the little touches of red you mentioned to me and am so glad it wasn't blood related...lol!! I don't think any gorriness (is that even in the dictionary?) contributed to this card but maybe you are right and the drugs helped because it is certainly dreamy.
    I have the same black and white paper pack from create and craft, its fabulous and it sets off this card perfectly.
    Have a great weekend Hugs Linda x

  14. Beautiful card Sue - I so love the intricacy of it - perfect.

    You asked if I choose papers before colouring an image and yes, you are right. I used to colour an image and then try (for hours) to find a paper to match but I just find it easier to pick the papers first.

    Thanks for dropping by and leaving me some lovely comments as always.

    enjoy the rest of your weekend.
