How has your weekend been? I hope you did something nice. On Sunday we went to visit my husband's parents and take them out for a meal. My husband is borrowing a hat from them that will be part of a costume for a murder mystery evening we are going to this week. I have a lovely friend who has lent me my costume including a fur coat. If there are any photos I will share them with you.
You might have noticed that I have joined a new design team Always Fun Challenges. This is my first card for them. The challenges are weekly starting on a Monday and finishing on a Saturday. There is always a theme this time it is Flowers.
I was making a card for an event later in the year and I liked part of the design and I thought that it might work well on a card by itself. This is what I ended up with. All the papers came from my stash.
The challenges are fun and you just have to follow the theme.
I cut the sentiment with a Signature die set.
The flowers were made with the Cape Daisy die set from Creative Expressions. They are the same dies I used to make the button holes for the wedding last year. This was the first time I have used the dies since the wedding. I used left over papers from the wedding too. I used the Faux Quillled Leaves dies from Creative Expression to make the leaves. The ovals were cut with some Tattered Lace dies.
I do like to have a few cards like this put by you never know when you might need one.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting

Enjoy your Murder Mystery They’re great fun and have done quite a few
I remember one in particular where I borrowed a jacket from my kid’s headmistress We were at a function and I mentioned I needed a jacket just like the one she was wearing She promptly took it off and gave it to me And as I was going as a Geisha girl I wore white face paint I got a few astonished stares when we pulled into a garage in the dark to buy petrol on the way!
Gorgeous, love the flowers and congratulations on your new DT position.
