February Birthday Girl

It's the start of another week and I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's weekend.
 I really must get the hang of this blogging lark. I never seem to have enough hours in the day to actually write a blog post. That's a shame as I have lots of cards and projects I'd like to show you all.
I have finally found a few spare minutes to share this card that I made for a lovely friend.
I hold my hands up and admit I made a mistake with the colours on this card. I didn't realise how yellow the paper was when I coloured the image. In my defense the paper looked more cream to me. Maybe it's time for an eye test.

The card is an 8"x 8" (20 x 20 cm) base and the papers are all from the First Edition Mulberry Kisses paper pad. They are matted onto white card edged with Memento London Fog ink. I added a strip of lace and some scraps of cheesecloth.

The image is from Saturated Canary. I coloured her with my Copics and matted her onto white card. The sentiment was printed on the computer.

I created the flowers using the two smallest Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers dies and finished them with a pearl bead each. I then made the three stick pins and tucked them in behind.
I finished the card with some large half pearls.
I hope you all have a lovely, creative week.

    This is stunning. I was just thinking what fabulous colouring then you blew it by saying you'd made a mistake ... which I can't see. Lol. It really is so beautiful. Love this digi ... I'm sure I have it, but have never got round to using it yet. Love your flowers and the colour combo as well. So gorge! xx

    Can you book me in for an eye test too as This looks a very pale creamy/white to me and not at all yellow. I love your colouring and all those embellishments are fab. hugs Mrs A.
