Wow - 2 posts in 2 days!!!!

Morning all, ooh very frosty here this morning looks too slippy to venture out. So trying to magic things to make for lunch as dont want to go to the supermarket - hmm this could make for an interesting lunch - lol!!

So to take my mind of this crisis I'll just blog this card that I made last night. I have taken advantage of the Sizzix sale and ordered just a few things (honest I was really good and didn't go mad!!). This card is one of the new dies I had ordered - except I hadnt thought about the envelope situation to go with this - honestly if I had brains I'd be dangerous!!! Also because of the flowers on it I am going to have a go later at making a box for it - hmm very blue peter :-)

This is for my oh's niece who is getting married in March:


This is it closed, as I have put little gems on the inside of the card that will show through the flowers when closed (does that make sense??)





And this is it standing - I have used a Lily of the Valley square die cut and matted it onto some lovely handmade (not by my hand though) pink paper that I received from Linda at Pink Lilacs -I have just slightly distressed the edges and then added some flowers that I got for 29p in the Hobbycraft sale.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - New beginnings.
Ellephantastic - New beginnings.
Quirky Crafts challenge - New beginnings.
CT's challenge on Mse - flowers.
Creative Cottage - Something new (my new sizzix die)

Thanks for looking xx

    Hello Ali,
    Thanks for popping over from Fayes blog. I must say your Wedding card is terrific. I love that cut edge. Have not seen that done before. I scrolled down looking for your sewing machine. I see it is a Bush.Impressive. Would that be the Bush that do televisions? My machine is a very simple Singer which I regret buying now but can't really justify going and buying a better model as you then end up with 2 and it is never easy trying to flog the old one. Got my I on an overlocker. I think I could squeeze that past baggage control!!! lol.
