Love and laughter

Well another weekend bites the dust, but hope it's been a good one for you all. Here's another card I've made that I'd like to share with you.

I started out playing with my pan pastels using them to make a background, which I then stamped the flowers on and cut them out (this was the same piece of background as the teddy bear card - Baby Pans)

As I was looking for a piece of card to mat the Teddy on, this piece of lilac glitter card fell out and inspired me to use it with the flowers.

I used a small square spellbinders die to cut out three apertures from the glitter card and mounted it on yellow card. Then I used a panel of the yellow card to stamp the verse and tied a lilac ribbon and bow around it. I wasn't sure if it needed something else, but decided to leave it alone - still not sure now - but sometimes less is more as they say.

Anyway, I hope you like it and appreciate you popping by to take a look. Thanks for leaving me a comment - I love reading them all xxx
