for you

Hi There! 

And thanks for joining me.

 Today  I would like to share with you a card. I made this one for my Mum's Birthday and 

I wanted to have a classic look but still with happy bright colours.

I have sponged the background in Peacock Feathers distress ink, and layered the Memory Box Elliana Background Die cut on top.

I have started using Neenah cardstock for just about everything and love the results.

The poppy stamps are from Indigo Blue Poppycock set, (which Bec can pre-order for you) and

these have been coloured with Copic Markers.

The "for you" sentiment is for Lawn Fawn and is from the Gleeful Gardens set stamped onto the Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiments Banners  die cut.

pop into Bizzy Becs on-line store! you still have time to take advantage of the August savings offer!

see you next time
