LILAC AND LAVENDER CHRISTMAS!

Hello there my lovely blog friends and followers, thank you for stopping by and checking out my cards.  This is the third card for my ex-colleague and, as it is for his sister, I thought I would try another non-traditional one.  I have used my beloved LOTV stamps again, simply because I lurve 'em!

This card will be handed to his sister so I am making a box.  I will pop that on my blog when I have made it.

Here is my lilac and lavender card -


I have also decorated the inside of the card - yay!
The design is again based on another sketch I found on Dawny P's blog - http://pinkpiggywiggy.blogspot.co.uk/.
Ingredients
Card Base - 7 x 7"
Papers - HOTP Pizzazz
Kraft Card - C & C
Spellbinders Floral Ovals Die
Image/Sentiment - LOTV
Flowers - WOC
Holly leaves - The Best of La Pashe CD
Promarkers
Stardust
Gems - stash
 
I hope you like this card - it is only the second one I have made which is non-traditional.  I quite like the colours but have a feeling I will be back to my traditional cards very shortly.  My next card is for my ex-colleague's son and the one that I am really worrying about.  I have some ideas rolling about with the rest of the tumbleweed in my head so who know what will happen!!!
 
Thank you once again for stopping by and leaving your comments, if you don't have time to leave a word or two then that is fine, I understand.  I am so pleased that you have taken the trouble to check out my blog.
 
Big hugs to you all
 
SUE

    Hi Sue,
    another superb Non traditional colour card. I just love this colour. May have to think about
    making one in this colour myself.
    It's funny you have tumble weed in your head, because I have sawdust in mine.lol.
