A Present For You

Good Morning

Emma loved her first day back at school and is very happy in her new class.  Murphy missed her terribly and is still sulking!!!

My card for today uses a Lili Of The Valley image.  This was one of 20 images that came free in a magazine.

I coloured the image using Coloursoft pencils.  The backing papers I've had for some time!  I punched the edges of one of the layers with a Martha Stewart border punch as I thought it worked well with the image.  The corner is a Marianne die with some little gems added.  The stars are cut using a die-namics dies, layered together.  I tied a bow into some bakers twine and then added two star charms to the tails of the bow.  The flower are the top of the card is a brad.

The inside of the card is decorated to co-ordinate with the front.

My card is for the following challenges:

Lili of The Valley Challenge - Sketch

Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - Lets Bling It

St Lukes Charity Challenge - Card Buffet - Pick 4 - Patterned paper, Gems, Charms, Punches

Craft Your Passion - Add a Flower
