Better late than Never

I am so sorry I have been AWOL for the last week, I have had some horrible family issues and I am also feeling absolutely exhausted so decided to have a bit of a break. 

I know I am late with my DT card for Just Magnolia Challenge , although it had been made for over a week, I also did not manage to make a card for Penny Black Saturday Challenge sorry girls!!!! will try to do better this week.

I have used 2 of the new Magnolia Release stamps on this card Tilda with Peony and Wedding Rose Arch, from Crafts U Love, and have used Copics to colour.  The Magnolia Papers match Perfectly, The Swirls are from A Sizzix Die from Crafters Companion, Flowers and Gems are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Now for some news

On Friday Bev and I made a trip to Ideal World, Create and Craft for a Screen Test, Lisa and Laila from Lili of the Valley had asked us both if we would be prepared to present the new Lili of the Valley Collection on a live show in July with one of them.  As you can imagine it came as a complete surprise, at first we said we would be too nervous but after more thought we decided to give it a go, and surprise surprise we actually passed the screen test, I think it was the scariest thing I had ever done. 

This is the card I used for my demonstration, I made it very plain as I didn’t want to give myself extra pressure.  I have coloured LOTV Rosie Posie with Copics and used Magnolia Backing Papers again, and don’t faint, I only used 3 Wild Orchid Crafts Light Pink Cherry Blossom.

I will try to be a bit more productive this week and post a bit more often,

Have a great week everyone
