A Lovely Day.......

Hi Everyone,
What a great day I've had today...It's the first day I've had for a few weeks where I haven't been out,I've been nice and toasty in doors and managed to make a few DT cards and projects and I've also made this card for a few challenges....... 


The challenges I'd like to enter are....

Just Magnolia - Sketch
Flourishes - Christmas
Paper playtime - About love/Something you love
Everybody Art Challenge - Monochromatic Brown
A spoonful of Sugar - Distressing
Pollycraft challenge - Glitery Christmas
Stamps R Us- Sparkle and Scallops
Magnolia Down under - Shabby Chic


I've followed the sketch over at Just Magnolia and used one of the new Tildas coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador.....The DP is MME lost and found the pic doesn't show it up very much but it is glittered and I've distressed, inked and glittered the edge of the DP and card...The card is all from my stash.....I've used my MS vintage lace punch to do the border...


The lace is from my stash.....The sentiment is a catslife press from Crafty Emma's store and the flowers are from Mulberry Crafts and I've sprayed them with irridesent gold glimmer mist and then sprinkled glamour dust on so lots of sparkle the leaves have had the same treatment they are punched with a Leone Em punch....Anyways I'm off for a soak in the bath and an early night I'm so tired,I'm cold even though the heating is on and I'm sneezing so not sure if I'm going down with something or all my running around has caught up with me and an early night will help....I'll come visit all of you tomorrow....Take care...
