It was very fast to put together - the card base was swiped twice with my Music Notes wheel, the flowers were stamped over the top and the card finished with a sentiment.
I kept the musical score neutral with Sahara Sand ink and allowed the flowers to pop with Cherry Cobbler petals and Lucky Limeade stalks and stamens. I always like red florals for after-Christmas thank you cards as a nod to the season. These gorgeous blooms are from Everything Eleanor which contains a selection of the most beautiful flowers as well as a really useful flourish, two ornate labels and the cutest little bird!
I always like to show you my sentiments and this one from Thank You Kindly often comes out with my musical notes wheel because I can't resist the pun!
Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Thank You Kindly, Musical Notes wheel
Ink: Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler, Lucky Limeade
Card stock: Naturals Ivory
Other: Aqua painter, corner rounder, Lucky Limeade marker, stamp-a-majig
I'd be delighted to order any of these supplies for you and can have them delivered to your address in the UK. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to help and advise. Just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593.
An update on the carpet-fitting - we've now given up and told everyone to go away and leave us alone. It's been the most appalling experience with the fitters lying to us and walking out and generally behaving badly. Thankfully, we bought the carpet from John Lewis who couldn't be more helpful about sorting things out for us, but I just can't stand waiting any longer to get our house sorted for Christmas. We're all happy and healthy and will have a lovely time relaxing together, so what does it matter that two of the rooms still have the old carpet in them?!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend and aren't too busy! I'd better go off and get the rest of our decorations up and organise lunch - and there are still some cards to get done too...
See you on Monday!
A beautiful card as always Vicky.
