Wonderful Things......

This card was made for some friends of mine who are currently going though IVF treatment.  I wanted them to know I was thinking of them without phoning every five minutes to ask how things were.......

I do have other stamps in my collection, lol, but the wistful image of Daisy (from Suger Nellie) seemed appropriate for the feel of the card.  Stamped onto LOTV Smooth card which I bought at the SECC, what a difference it makes having good smooth cardstock - previously I was using any old card.  Coloured with Promarkers, background dusted with blue shimmer chalk.  The sentiment is from LOTV (another purchase from Glasgow) and I've dusted it with the same blue shimmer chalk to tie it in with the stamped image.

The roses and leaves have been lying about in my stash for years, and I mean YEARS.  The charm is from a pile I bought in Glasgow.  Butterflies punched out with a Woodware punch.

(Playing with my new camera - so excuse the shadows)

The teal and buttercup colourscheme is not one I had tried before but having seen it on another card I thought I'd give it a bash.

The background papers and card are from my stash and the yellow papers are Capsule Collection from a Papermania Goody Bag.  The punch is a Martha Stewart one I bought in Florida, I think it's called Daisy Border.  Gems were from Every crafts a £.

They loved it by the way...... which is always a bonus lol.
