Slowly, slowly...

Hi all, thanks for the encouraging comments after my last post, they did cheer me up, and would you believe it, I actually made a few cards :) I'm going to show one here, and the other two over on Stamping Stuff, since they're all SU!

I had a 40th birthday party to go to on Saturday, so naturally, that required a card. I raked through my papers and my images and finally came up with this:

The paper is from a pad called Marcella by K which I bought in the States last spring, the image is by Whiff of Joy, the sentiment is Stampin' Up! Circle of Friendship and the flowers and brads are from stash (meaning I don't really know who they're by). I watercoloured the image with pencils and cut it out with round nesties. Every edge in sight got a good inking :) And because the card was for a special occasion, I decided to decorate it on the inside as well:

Same papers, squalloped square cut with nesties, scalloped circle SU! punch, numbers QK, little flower from Lakeland pack and some small half pearls. I think it's quite pretty and I had fun doing it :)

Hopefully this means I'm getting back into the swing of things - we've finally taken all the Christmas stuff down, too, so everything is back to normal. Well, nearly - youngest daughter has been off nursery yesterday and today with a stinking cold and fever (yesterday). Poor wee thing, she looked so miserable! But she's started to boss me around again today, so I know she's on the mend:)

Thanks for stopping by!
