THROUGH THE PURPLE HAZE - A CARD FOR MOTHER'S OR ANY WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE


Well peeps this is my card for TTPH and the digi has been supplied by Sweet Pea Stampers
I was really pleased when I finished colouring him 'cos he looks quite furry and I can assure you this is more by luck than judgement - lol!!!  I made the flowers on the sides of the frame out of a piece of card/paper from First Edition's 'Rose Garden' pad.  The page has printing all over it with faint pink hearts here and there.  I used a Small Tea Rose die from Cheery Lyn and when they were made I sprayed them (and the corners) with Crafter's Companion Pearl Spray.  This gives a lovely finish and in real life they look like porcelain.

 Ingredients

 7" x 7" white card blank - Anna Marie Designs
Digi - 'Dozen Roses' by Conie Fong at Sweet Pea Stamps
LOTV - 'Country Meadow' Nitwit Collection paper pad
First Edition - 'Rose Garden' paper pad
Tonic - 'Big Hug' semi die set
Tonic - Scalloped Circle Layering dies
Cheery Lyn - Small Tea Rose die
Copic Markers
Crafters' Companion Pearl Spray
Pink Nail Heads - found in my stash recently and I can't put them down!!

 I do hope you enter this challenge to make a card for a mother or indeed, any woman in your life.

 Thank you for checking my blog and for any comments you may have made.  I do appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes - oh I must tell you I have lost 13lbs thanks to my 'diabetes' diet.  I'm trying hard to lose enough weight so that my glucose levels get back to normal and I can stop taking the flippin' tablets.  Of course there's still loads of me to go yet - even me love handles have their own love handles - too much information?????? - but I do feel loads better already - apart from the ingrowing toenail - and that is another story.  Needless to say the Mobile Blood Transfusion Unit was standing outside - much to the maestro's relief.

 Big hugs to you all and don't forget the challenge!

 Take care
Sue xxx

    Hi Sue
    Very pretty in pink! Your bear does look very furry, if that doesn't sound rude lol!
    Well done you with the diet. I've put on a bit whilst on "gardening leave" but I'm sure we'll run some off on Thursday lol!
    See you then.
