Ismaki 09/008

Sorry to have temporarily disappeared again! I was in the UK last week visiting our new granddaughter and my poorly niece as well as other relations, and even managed several hours at the NEC trade craft fair. I find it frustrating though when you want to spend, spend, spend and come out laden with goodies but you can only order for later delivery: Just not the same! The last card was pre-scheduled so I appreciated the comments even more than usual: Thank you :)
I have been so busy that I have loads that I haven't had time to blog but I'll start catching up with the card made using Bea's Ismaki challenge sketch (rotated 90°) AND the sewing option!
Tilda coloured with Whispers markers; papers: 'Olivine' by Papermania; flowers: Prima and Imaginisce.

  4. I love everything about this card - the soft colours, the flowers, your embellishments and all thos papers!!! How do you get the card to look so 'together' when you use so much material? The pinky-red of Tilda's sweater is a great contrast!

  6. Great card Karen and glad all was well in the UK. I don't go to many of the large craft shows now precisely because of the reason you said - it's so fustrating when you can't get what you want ! ! ! I sound like a toddler having a temper tantrum now ! !

    Take care,

    Lou
