The Beauty You Bring to the World

I am still not being a very good blogger friend to many - just feeling a bit 'off' at the moment. Lots of personal things going on that are accumulating and making me feel a bit low at times.

My card for today I made using the gorgeous Rosie from Sugar Nellie available from Funky Kits.
First I want to share this flower with you - made it using a really cheap lace I found somewhere or other and all I did was cut a circle of card, add some DST then wound the lace around in a spiral to form the flower, added a gem and hey presto.

 Then thought I would tease you with a close up of Rosie - she is such fun to colour - used my Flexmarkers here and they worked a treat.


The scalloped card I got from our local The Range - love the look of them but hard to locate here in Enfield. The DP is a freebie from Milton pad; matted onto grey cardstock; gingham is from Pink Petticoat (loving ALL Liz's papers); Gems are from my stash and the sentiments says.......

thank you for the beauty you bring to the world

...and here is my finished card.



I am entering this into the following challenges:~

The Play Date Cafe No 106 - Grey, Yellow and Pink;
Charisma Cardz Cutesy;
Flutterby Wednesdays Gratitude;
My Mum's Craft Shop Gratitude and
Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch.

Lots of Gratitude getting shown this week.......

Hope to visit some of you in the course of this afternoon as its too wet for my usual walk in the park.
