Well, I'm here again....

Not brilliant photographs I'm afraid - we seem to be back in the depths of Winter today with constant drizzle and bad light! This is for ex MIL's Birthday and I used My Sentiments Exactly 'Butterfly' with Stampendous 'Agapanthus Cluster' stamps, stamped with Versamark and chalked, then heat embossed with a very fine holographic powder. The second photo just about shows the effect. The background is Hero Arts 'Manuscript' and is again chalked. Sentiment is MM rub-on. Very different from my usual style, but I kind of like it - it suits the recipient anyway.
Love these new papers from Art From The Heart (Blonde Moments) - they are called Friends Junction and are really fun and in luscious colours. I cut the cars from another sheet of BP and edged them in silver and doodled in silver, which really gives the card some life. My fave buttons again to give texture and fun!

Been doing lots of colouring in of images today, including new Tildas and Edwins - just need to put it all together and the result may be here tomorrow, with a bit of luck!
Off for a pizza now - have a nice evening xx

Ohh no I like it too it's dreamy looking!

Love the little car one, the buttons remind me of smarties on that background colour!

Juliet, your both cards are sooo gorgeous - love the colours of your birthday card so much ! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment. You´ve asked me which stamp I used: it is one of Hanglar and Stanglar, unfortunately I only have images, not the stamps...

Have a nice day,
yours,
Heike ;o)
