PHEW! Finally I've made a card I actually like. Less said about the last card the better, lol! I really enjoyed working with Rach's sketch for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge and used some of the new papers I've just bought from Charmed Cards and Crafts (great service and a fantastic range of papers)! I'm blaming Juliet for my latest shopping spree, as she spread the word about Charmed having new Kay & Co stash in stock - NAUGHTY! I'm supposed to be on a strict stash diet at the minute due to a serious lack of funds ;o(
I'm also entering my card into this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge where the brief is to use punches and die cuts. The flowers are punched from a Woodware flower punch and the butterfly is a die cut from Kay & Co.
It's funny really, you wouldn't put grey, cream, blue and green together normally, but they really work. These paper designers so know what they're doing!!!
I'm off to get showered now (early for me at the weekend I know) - we're off to support a local village fete this afternoon. Can you believe the weather?! If only they'd arranged it for last Saturday instead. Oh well, brollies and macs at the ready I guess and in true British spirit we'll brave the storm, hee hee!
Have a great weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for Dottie's World.

This is such a gorgeous card Tara, now you're the naughty one making me want these beautiful papers :D and I don't know if I can hold out, I've already clicked the link whoops! Love your sweet Tilda and fantastic colouring and that butterfly is superb! I've just realised after entering my Magnolia card that I've completely missed off the flowers, they're still lying on the table doh! Will have to rectify that later. Hope the fete went ok and you didn't get too drenched. Hugs, Chris xxx
Absolutley gorgeous card sweetie - such delish colours and papers, very yummy indeed! x
