I hope the sun is shining where you are - it certainly is here - from first thing it was bright and beautiful and I propped open the conservatory doors and let it in!
I've got a wedding card to share with you this morning and a little bit of news.
I made this card as a commission for someone who wanted the couples initials on the card. I've really struggled both creatively and with time management lately but i so enjoyed making this card - it gave me a real kick start. I used my favourite wedding stamp from LOTV called Mr & Mrs available here, I think its so pretty and its an easy image to colour. I really went overboard with this card -flowery paper, fancy shape, lots of flowers,a bit of bling, punches and a bow, then out came my cricut create machine that I haven't used for ages to make the initials. I enjoyed making this, I'm not actually that big on paper flowers - I prefer to make my own flower - I think they can look a bit fussy and I'm not a fussy frilly person generally. But wedding cards deserve to be fussy I think so I piled them on lol
......and my little bit of news..... I decided to stand down from my DT post at Delightful Challenges. I've been there for a whole year now but after struggling through with so little time lately, and because I have a four week holiday coming up, I just decided to stand down rather than give myself the stress of having to make cards for all those weeks when I'm away - a weekly design team is a big commitment and I don't do things unless I can do them properly so I know I made the right decision for me and for Wendy's team. I've so enjoyed my time working with the cute images at Digital Delights - its a lovely friendly team that I know I'll miss.
But for now its onward and upward - I feel like I've found myself some time and its quite a while since I posted a card that's not a DT card and I've enjoyed that.
This is what I did.....
