A Card Without a Challenge

Hi there girls. Thank you for calling in to my blog. I appreciate your visit you have all been so good at staying with me although I haven't been producing a lot recently. Yesterday was a slightly better day healthwise although my energy levels sag easily. At least today I have a card to show you although it has not been made with any challenge in mind.
I have inked up Magnolia's "Sweet Tilda" and coloured her with my Copics. The papers are a Bazzil and S.E.I's "Juliette - Sweet Perfume", the flower is made using a Marian Studios die and the ribbon and other bits and pieces are from my stash.
I hope you like this card enough to leave a comment. You have no idea how much your comments mean to me. I love reading them and appreciate you taking the time to leave them.
I'll try to get round some blogs over the weekend although time might be a problem. My eldest son, John, and his wife, Sarah (Lil-paper-pixie), are arriving today for nearly a week with young Jonathan. I just hope I am not too much of a drag for them. I am looking forward to seeing them.
Please have a great holiday weekend and what ever you are doing stay safe and enjoy yourselves.
Hugs,

  1. This is beautiful Fiona. I love that image, she's one of my favourites. The DP is really pretty and I love that flower.

    Hope you enjoy the visit from your family without getting too tired! We're having a short visit to Catriona at Crieff. Have to come back on Sunday as we've both got work on Monday. Might manage 5 minutes in Stampaholics if I'm lucky!!

    Take care,

    Kat xx

  20. Hi Fiona,

    I have just found your gorgeous blog through Lil-paper-pixie. I love her work and decided to pop by. I have joined as a follower and I will definately be back.

    I love Magnolia's and you have coloured her beautifully. The papers are gorgeous.

    Sorry you have not been well. I have alot of lung function tests because I suffer from chronic asthma - its such a pain, but I sort of know how you feel.

    Love,
    Kerry
