Back Again With LOTV

Good evening blogging friends,

Gosh it's been ages since I've been on here with a card.  I've had a busy few weeks with one thing and another and also printer problems left me unable to finish a couple of cards I had on the go that were waiting for sentiments.  After much faffing around with my old printer I've bit the bullet and gone for a new one.  I can't believe I've got one the same brand as I had but with more features for half the price I paid over 8 years ago!  At least now as well as being back in business with sentiments I can also print off some of the digi images I've had to put to one side.

Tonight's card is one a friend asked me to make for her kids to give her mum in law.  I was toying with the idea of buying the stamp of this LOTV image when spookily the very same day this pre stamped and coloured version arrived through my letter box as part of a challenge prize, how lucky is that?

I've chosen Docrafts Capsule Collection Papers in toning shades and added faux stitching and kraft cardstock.  I've also made a flower using the same papers and a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die set.  I've added a button to the centre of the flower which I've tied with twine.  I've finished off my card with some cream lace from Hobbycraft, spotty organza ribbon, pearls and a computer generated sentiment.

It's late so it's bed for me now, hope I can sleep with the strong winds we have tonight, it sounds wild out there!
