Pretty Jasmine

Hello lovely people,

Happy Monday everyone and the countdowns continue;

8 sleeps until the final exams for my prescribing course - eek!

10 sleeps until my next coffee and cake date with my lovely friends Sue and Debs

11 sleeps until beer festival

14 sleeps until holibobs

21 sleeps until my birthday

My countdown list seems to have grown a little bit and all of it apart from the first one is terribly exciting :-)
I promise I won't share that huge long list on every blog post - lol!

Back to the crafting, and today I have another of the gorgeous new Jasmine images from LOTV to share with you.

This card is to support the LOTV April card challenge which is running on facebook, where we want to see your creations using any 3 or more colours as inspired by the month of April, so that's Aqua, Pink, Red, Ivory and Lilac.

There are 5 absolutely amazing prizes on offer from LOTV plus a fabulous £10 gift voucher prize from The Ribbon Girl so plenty of incentive to join in with us!

Apart from red, these are some of my fave colours and I have gone for aqua, pink and ivory on my card.

I can't tell you how much I love this fab image and I know she's really aimed at the teenage girl market but honestly, this could just as easily be me!

I have used one of the new LOTV sentiments and popped it on a sweet little memo pin tucked in with the flowers.

Hello lovely people,

I am off on my holidays tomorrow so you won't hear much from me for the next week!  Dr Hubby and I are off to the Peak District so I have everything crossed for some sunshine!

I thought I would share one more card with you before I go and I may have something to share mid-week if Mr Blogger plays nicely!

I made the memo pin from some wire and used my fave combo of seam binding and lace layered together with a pretty bow. I have had comments on my neat bows before so let me tell you there is much fiddling with them to get them how I want them and I always put a line of glue along the back of the cut edges to stop them fraying.

Having paper pieced the dresses there wasn't much of the image left to colour with my Copics and I then cropped the bottom off to give a square image.

Lace: from The Ribbon Girl

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;

1.  Bunny Zoe (case a DT card - I have used the pretty colours from Silvie's card)
2.  As You Like It (fave rubber stamp - love this one as it is so versatile and I have used it loads both coloured and paper pieced)
3.  A Creative Romance (anything goes)

Thanks for visiting,

Hugs,
Kat xx
