This is the card I sent to a wonderful work colleague when she retired on Friday. Tina is a wonderful lady and a great friend. She will be highly missed at work.

I have used my Forever Friends Collection Cd for the topper and matted this onto an embossed nestie. I embossed some silver mirror card with a Darcy butterfly embossing folder from Crafter's Companion and matted this onto the matt magenta cardstock I have had for a while which I got from Crafter's Companion. To finish I have added gems, stickles and ribbon details. The base card is a papermania 5x7" scallopped edge card.

Here is Tina and me on her last day.

Missing you already Tina

Mojo Monday 226

2012-02-02T16:18:00.001Z

Hi Back again, 2 posts in a day. I have made a card for the Mojo Monday Challenge this week and decided to go for the circle option rather than the square. Here's the sketch:

For this one I have used my SWALK stamp Best Mum from Crafter's Companion and have coloured with my spectrum Noir Pens.

The circle base card I have cut with my Grand Scallopped Circles Nestie and the stamped image is on a scalloped circle nestie. All of the other layers I have cut with my eCraft. I have also used the scallopped flower and branches SVG from birds cards. I have added a ruffled ribbon and gems, glitter stickles details.

I'm loving how this card has turned out and hope you all do too.

I'm also entering this into the following other challenges:

My Time to Craft Challenge - 172 'A' is for Adorable

Addicted to Stamps - Challenge 22 'Summer in Winter'

Off to make another
