Morning.........

Morning Everyone,
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend...we had a busy one,went into Oxford to get everything for Katy for going back to school,wow that's cleared us out it get's more expensive every year and especially this year with her starting GCSE's...Then yesterday some friends came to visit they were visiting relatives in the area and came to see us..The weather was lovely up until yesterday evening and then it has rained non stop...We had a very sad thing happen last evening one of my elderly neighbours died very suddenly,it was so so sad to see the family my heart went out to them and I'm thinking of them all today...I made this card on Friday...



I would like to enter it into the following challenges.....
Just Magnolia - sentiment

I used distress inks to colour Tilda then I cut her out with my nesties and matted and layered her...
I used some magnolia papers and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz's tool then used sepia ink around the edges and added some glitter...


The flowers are from Mulberry Crafts and the lace and heart gems are from  my stash...the leaves are cut out with a nellie snellen punch...The sentiment is from an inkadinkadoo set.....I'm off now to my Mum and Dad's as I'm decorating their lounge for them so see you all later..Take care....
