My mom asked me for an engagement card today, which she needs for Saturday. Now if you are anything like me, then that is extreme short notice, lol. I need at least a week's notice, I am so slow when it comes to making cards, just the colouring alone could take me 2 hours or more.
I was clever though, I chose an image which did not require a lot of colouring, so it took me only a few hours this afternoon to make the card and colour the image. Wish I could always be that quick. I will never get rich making cards, that's for sure, lol.
I coloured my image with prisma pencils blended it with sansador (gamsol), and cut it with a Nestie circle die. I sponged it with a little chalk ink and layered it on a scalloped circle mat. I added lots of glamour dust to the wings and flowers and hearts, not sure it shows on the photo. The border at the bottom was done with a fiskars border punch.
Of course I had to throw in a picture of Lady Ayla Belle. I'm thinking of changing her name though to Lazy Ayla Belle, rofl! She is such a little lazy girl that sleeps all day, okay almost all day, the rest of the day she follows me around the house, aaah!
That's my post for today, I got to go wish
Debbi a happy birthday, even though the day is now over.... it still counts doesn't it, woohoo.
Take care

Hi Meanhi honey! Aaahhh, what a sweet kitty!
Love the fresh, bright card!
Thank you so much for talking about the time it takes you to make a card. Everyone seems to make cards in an hour, or do many a day. I usually always take at least a week. I've been making cards for 3 years but it still takes me that amount of time. I seriously felt out of the loop. It's refreshing to hear someone else talk about taking a longer amount of time to make her cards. And your bees are a hoot! I love that card!
And the regal Lady Ayla Belle is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful card. I love the image and the sparkle is so pretty. Oh, I would just love to get my hands on that little fluffy baby. She looks so adorable.
What a gorgeous card Meahni,I love the image and your papers.
