Thank you - I absolutely love it!

Hello and happy Saturday. Wow.. what a week, i was able to show 9 cards this week and iam also working on a tutorial for Pretty Pressings. I got an invitation from Beate Johns (SCS) to show this project on September 17. on the weekly tutorial section, but i have decided that i will pass this invite and just have the tutorial on my personal blog. The pictures on SCS have to be in a certain way and due to the size, language and scoring lines of the project it would be a struggle for me to get it all right. I hopefully have it all ready to show on Pretty Pressings next weekend. It is a wonderful gift idea and perfect for the upcomming holidays! I ordered especially for this project all the wonderful Magnolia stamps with from the "cherry-line" but in my head are already other ideas as well :-).

What do you think about this layout? Kind of different? :-) Pauline sent me one of the cherry stamps in my DT package and i wanted to use this image in the front of my card and in the inside. I made this card for my wonderful friend Carole.... she has been a really good friend to me in the past, she helped me so much... not only this :-) she moved "mountains" to get for me a very rare kit you can only purchase in Sweden for my upcomming birthday. I was trying to get this for myself and told her about it so thats why i know already what iam getting lol... Thank you so much Carole! For everything... love ya! xxxxx

EDIT: Ups, i just noticed this black dot on the side of Tildas head.. i dont know.. it is not on my card.. it must be something that got cought on the glitter when i took the picture. sorry about this.. it looks messy :-(

Here is how the decorated inside of the card looks like with lined envelope. I added to the cherries here some pink stickles - this does not show really well on the picture.

Close up picture... i added stickles to the outside of my pink panel and around the white circle were Tilda is sitting on to give the circle sort of an other layer.
