Good morning to all my lovely friends and followers I hope that you are all well and keeping warm I just hate the winter weather I'm definitely a sunshine girl.
On New Years Day it was my friend Lyn's 7oth birthday and this is the card I gave her. She lives part of the time in Malta and I gave her the card before Christmas to take back with her. I spoke to her today on the phone and it reminded me I hadn't put it on my blog. She did say the weather was lovely in Malta so I was a bit jealous.
My card is using a Lili of the Valley stamp Time Flies one of my favourites .

I'm entering this in Graphit markers Shiney and New Challenge my shiny and new things are this new Joy Craft butterfly border and the small metal frame I've used both for the first time. I also think the gorgeous bead flowers would cover the shiny aspect, A Gem of a Challenge Something New Joy Craft butterfly border and small metal frame. Winter Wonderland Challenge things with Wings and Dragonfly Dreams Challenge Favourite colour and mine is purple/lavender.
