Good Luck xx

Well hello everyone I'm back with a "Good Luck" card that I have been asked to create for my Friend.

Had a good think about this one as she wanted the card to be vintage and with the name of the new coffee shop to be on it and well I am really pleased with the final design and my friend said I had excelled to I think she liked it, lets just hope the lady who receives it does too!!!
I actually used my Magnolia Boutique stamp for the shop window I have used this a few times and its so useful and the little stamps I have used for the name you can find here at Natalie and Amy's shop.
I have used my distress inks after colouring the image and have distressed all the paper edges.
Can't send a card with out flowers and bling.
You can see one of the metal corners which I have used on this photo also available from Natalie and Amy's store.
I simply adore these pink paisley papers just superb for the vintage feel.
Added a "Good Luck" banner which is a Magnolia DoHickey threaded onto natural twine and stamped with the same stamps as the above window.
The digi inside is one my friend Lynne sent me to play with years ago and never used and its just perfect for the coffee shop as always I have coloured with my Pro's!
More lush paper for the back and an oval nestie with a SU "Good Luck" sentiment on so that there is somewhere to write and my personal stamp.

Hooked on You xxxx

Sorry I have only just linked the challenges up as I completely forgot when I posted this xxx

I know that Allan never looks at my blog so I'm safe to load up my card and just like to say that I love him to bits and thank him from the bottom of my heart for loving me so much and helping me through the bad times I am having at the moment!!! Some days I actually wonder why he stays but then that says it all doesn't it!!!
Just had to have this wonderful image from Kraftin Kimmie with the perfect sentiments that come with it and as always I have coloured it with Pro Markers and added glamour dust on the feathery part of the hat!!!!!

Added some beautiful bronze metallic bazzil also from N&A's.
Shaped scalloped edge 8 x 8 card also available from N&A's.

Well that's all for tonight feel a bit better about myself today and I have even cleaned up! (Sound a right dirt bag don't I) just the ironing left but there's only a very small pile so may do that tomorrow after my Doctor's appointment, then off looking for a new car which I have no interest in at the moment but I don't go out that much and now I don't go out at all so think I need one!!!!!
