What a lovely day!

Just a quickie today as I want to make the most of this lovely weather!  I did try to tidy up in the garden (honest!) but at one point this afternoon it got too warm to do very much at all so I had a lovely hour sitting on the bench outside colouring in a few Tildas.  Bliss!


I've made a very simple card for the Magnolia Stamp Lovers challenge, which this time is to use ribbon on your card.  I thought it would make a change not to have a character on a card, so opted for this new stamp with the tulips in a wheelbarrow.


Not that you can really tell from the picture, but I decoupaged the flowers in the barrow so that they stand out a bit.  What you can see is the bling, which doesn't look nearly as OTT in real life.  The DP is from a Craftwork Cards freebie in a magazine; the embossed border and the Candy Dots are Craftwork Cards as well.  I put the image on a doily from Joanna Sheen and added a sentiment which I cut from a Panduro Tilda paper pad.  Finally, the ribbon is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Right, I'm off to get another 20 minutes or so in the garden!  I do hope this weather lasts - I'll need a few days of exposure to get rid of the ghostly glow that is the colour of my legs!!! 

Big hugs
