Good morning,
I have been away from my blog for a while as my father passed away January 22nd after a long battle with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was and will always be a big part of my life and will be greatly missed.
I enjoy making cards and find crafting has a way of lifting your spirits up. I also teach a class once a month for Herazz and this is what we made during my last class.
We made a Tea Light card, the images are colored with distress inks and i used EK flower punches to create the flowers. The papers are Basic Grey, Wedgwood, Chatsworth & Rochelle. Sorry the image is a bit dark, I took the pictures at night and do not have the appropriate set up.
I am entering my Tea Light card in the following challenges;
Just Magnolia - anything goes + ribbon
Totally Tilda - Tilda with lots of hearts
Magnolia stamp lovers - Glitter
Magnolia down under - Love
Simon Says - Love is in the air
Basic Grey - All hearts
Lets ink it up - Romance/Valentines day
thanks for stopping by
Louise

Bon matin Louise, je suis bien triste d'apprendre le décès de ton papa. Je t'offre mes sincères condoléances. Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi et créer est vraiment un moyen excellent d'exprimer ses émotions. Je trouve que ta carte ce matin correspond si bien à ce que tu éprouves face au départ de ton papa. Tilda a un don, je crois que c'est un ange. Ta carte est magnifique, j'aime tout. Sa sobriété et son éclat en même temps révèlent des sentiments profonds, exprimés par le rouge et le blanc. Le jardin de fleurs est super. Et l'embossage en blanc derrière l'image est tout ce qu'il fallait pour donner à Tilda toute l'importance du gest qu'elle pose.
Magnifique, précieuse et très touchante.
Danielle.
This is so pretty and that inside is fantastic!
Rene :D

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Sincere condolences and hugs for you. It's true that cardmaking can help one in difficult moments. I've been starting my crafting journey 2 years ago when I was put on bed rest during my pregnancy. I would have gone mad if it hadn't been for this hobby I took back then. And it soon became an addiction...
You have a lovely card here. Full of love. I love it all. The flowers are so beautiful too!
Hugs and blessings,
Iulia
Beautiful card, Louise! My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your dear father.
