Just finished watching The Apprentice, I do love that programme! I think Alan Sugar has the driest sense of humour I've ever heard, lol!
Here is my card for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge, where the brief is to use pink and green on your cards. A yummy colour combo methinks and surprisingly not one that we've had yet on Colour Create! The girls have come up with some stunning creations for us again this week and there's another fabulous prize, not to mention the chance to be guest designer for May!
I'm not going to say a great deal about my card because I don't like it! There, that was to the point, wasn't it, lol?! I'm not even sure why I don't like it really, I guess I just don't feel as if it's me. Anyway, I have no time to make another now and don't want to miss out on entering it this week, so I'm stuck with it.
One thing I do like is the way the card close-up photographed in the sunshine - the butterfly has a wee little shadow which looks kind of cute......... small things heh?
Materials:
Image - Magnolia
Sentiment - Studio G
Papers - Scraps from my stash
Colouring - Polychromatic Pencils
Die - Nestie Butterfly
Embellishments - Tiny Flowers and Clear Dew Drops from my stash
Accents - Pink Gel Pen
A few peeps mentioned the flower on my previous card (the Hanglar one) so I thought I'd show you the set of dies it came from. I called it a Nestie but it's actually from the Wizard Shapeabilities range. Hope this helps and sorry if I'm making you spend more cash, but you lot do that to me all the time, lol!
Eek! I haven't managed to get round to anyone's blog today and I'm very sorry for that! Hope you'll forgive me if I hit the sack now and catch up with you all tomorrow ;o)

Well I like this card Tara, especialy Tilda on her swing, adorable! I've made a card tonight that I'm not happy with either tho! Dont you just hate it when that happens??!!

Hi you... I like it!! Gorgeous colours and papers and I love that little Tilda sat on her swing.
But...isn't it horrible when you plan a card, make exactly as planned then look at it and think..ugghh! - I hate it when that happens (too often hee-hee).
You asked how I attached my twisted ribbon to the card - foam dots under the twisted bits - whether they'll last??? but OK so far.
hugs Heather xx
