Hi i'm Lisa, otherwise known as Craftybirdlisa (over on Docrafts). I have always sewed and baked, but started card making in May 2011 I am completely hooked now and love it. I adore stamping, the papers, the ribbons, the brads - well, just about all of it really. I love being able to create something that will generate some happiness in someone elses life and make them smile. I hope looking at my blog will make you smile. So grab a coffee, pull up a chair and relax whilst you wander around my blog. Thanks for dropping in and I hope to see you again soon. xx

Well it's wet and horrible here in Somerset today, kids out with friends, hubby off working, so I have the perfect crafting day.  Spent a fantastic day yesterday at Monkton Elm Garden Centre, at a Docrafts Craft Demonstration with Sue.  It was brilliant.  Did I come away empty handed........... no of course not.  Also got my new Heritage cartridge for the Cricut.  So excited, can't wait to try it out.

Anyway here is a card I have made for the Mil. Its their friends anniversary so a card was needed.  Something nice and sunny .............

So here's tilda in all her summery colours.



The yellow papers are from the Papermania colour capsule range, the oranges are from Stampin Up.  Tilda has been coloured using Promarkers.  I have then inked the edge of the image using Papermania Mini Ink Pads.  The sentiment is LOTV and I used my Nesties to create the shape.  The swirls are Tim Holtz.  The roses are made from sprirals of torn paper.  The verse and flower are from the Docrafts Digital Designer Cd.  The edge of the insert was punched with a Martha Stewart Punch.
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:

This is a beautiful card Lisa. I love the yellow and orange together. Thank you for your lovely comment on my flowers. Sorry Im a terrible enabler......but its a fantastic die and you really NEED it, heehee. I wouldnt hold your breath waiting to see any of my flowers on a card though, Im not a card maker. But.......there will always be a book or an altered item with the flowers showing up on them somewhere. So watch this space. Lee xx
