Gems May Be Precious But Friends Are Priceless.......

Good morning everyone!

I'm posting this card quickly before I fly off to work.... today is the busiest day of the year at the college where I'm based, as it's GCSE results day and we'll be enrolling new students. My feet probably won't hit the ground, lol!!

Anyway, continuing with my easel card fetish this week, here is a card I made using one of the new Magnolia stamps and some of the yummy papers from Basic Grey's Indian Summer collection. I stamped and cut out some flowers using a lovely wooden stamp by Dawn Bibby and the leaves were cut from a Marianne Creatables die.


Now I'm not normally a person who uses much gold when crafting but somehow it just seemed right on this card.... and along with the leaves I also chose gold to accent the image with a gel pen and some stick on gems.

Because Just Magnolia have focused on sentiments for this week's challenge, I had a good search for a nice friendship quote and was so chuffed to find this one because it ties in really well with all the bling on my card, YAY! So I'm entering JM and have also chosen the following challenges:

7 Kids College Fund - Strip It Down (no more than two layers of design paper)
Totally Tilda - Stitching

Have a great day then folks and I'll catch you later..... if I can stay awake after my busy day!!!

TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx
