My first 2015 card

 
I would like to thank each & everyone of you for all your lovely comment you left me last year on my blog. You don't realize how much of a boost in confidence you gave me. to show my cards,as i didn't think they were good enough to show them. So i thank you all for taking the time to leave a comment i really appreciate each one of them. i hope you will continue to pop by & still comment in 2015 love Lynda xx

This card i made with some of the die's i bought with my Christmas Joanna Sheen voucher
started with an 8 x 8 white card blank embossed it with the RAMBLING BLOSSOMS FOLDER
BY SUE WILSON.
I cut a piece of Coconut white  foundation card to fit my die from the
GEMINI COLLECTION CARINA DESIGNED BY SUE WILSON
I placed the die at the bottom edge & cut it just using the bottom cutting edge
then i used the same die with no cutting edges so it just embossed the card
i matted it onto Rich plum foundation card & cut another matt in coconut white card.
I CUT THE DIE FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN COLLECTION THE STOCKHOLM DIE BY S/W
i cut the decorative piece with the outer cutting edge in  the plum card & the middle in
 coconut white card i put mountain foam on the bottom for dimension placed this at the top
i cut some FINISHING TOUCHES CAMELLIA OPEN PETAL IN WHITE &
CLOSED  PETAL IN PLUM BY S/W  WITH CURLED VINES & some flat back white pearls in the center & matted it all onto base card.

some close up shots



 In the middle i cut the STOCKHOLM DIE in both colours & matted for a shadow look
cut a couple more flowers added to the sides off setting them added little pearls to middles.

Thank you if you pop by i would love you to leave me  comment as i love to read them & i will always answer them,but if you just want to look that's fine too you are all welcome.
Love & Hugs Lynda xx

    Yes I was very pleased with the Scandinavian Stockholm die it so pretty & cuts lovely.
    so does the Carina..I also love the foundation card,a stationary shop near me has just started selling it also some creative exspretions items I'm so pleased,as the craft shop closed in Broadstairs so only hobbycraft but they don't seem to have that much card craft stock latley
    Happy new year Theresa with love Lynda xx

    Evening Lynda and wow what a stunning card to start off 2015 ! The deep plum card is beautiful. I think my savings for AP is gonna disappear very quickly when I see all these dies made into beautiful cards as this one,love it. Do you think it's a omen when the die's is called Gemini (my starsign) Carina (my sisters name and Stockholm (capital of Sweden, I'm from Karlstad) might have to buy them all, what do you think ? :-) I hope Terry is getting better, tell him there is a big girl here sending him speedy recovery hihi Hope you fine too !
    Take care and warm Hugs Maria x

    Hello Maria, thank you so much for your lovely comment.
    Wow that is such a good omen how strange I think you need to buy these Die's at Ally Pally or maybe before.
    How long have you been living in the UK Maria.
    Do you ever go back to Sweden for Holliday's?
    I'm hopeing to go to A P again this year I always go on the Saturday as things sell out so quickly I
    Would love to meet up with you,if we both go the same day.
    Terry is geting better thank you his leg is still very red but he said it's not painfull any more,it's strange that the antibiotics had that reaction,but he did say they gave him 8 injections of it which seems a lot to me.
    Terry said thank you for the hi hi. I'm fine too apart from having to go back on my diet.my daughter bought to many yummy things to eat.
    Take care & have a lovely weekend.
    Love Lynda xx

    Thank you so very much Margaret for the lovey comment,I never thought I was at Sue's standered of card making.
    Terry is on the mend thank you,it was mainly his leg I was worried about,it's still very red but he said it isn't painfull any more & it never passed the indelible line which is good. Thank you for asking.
    Wish you very good weekend Margaret
    With love

    Hi Lynda,
    WOW! Such a stunning card as always. I have the dies you have used and thank you for the inspiration you have given to make me use them.
    So sorry I haven't been commenting on your cards lately as hubby took very poorly a few weeks before Christmas and after many bood tests, an X-ray and a scan the doctor is still unsure as to what caused it so he is now waiting to see a specialist. Thank fully he is alot better and almost back to his usual self. It was just so very frightening at the time. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with lots of hugs from your goegeous grandson also may I take this opportunity to wish you the happiest of New Years.

    Love Sheila xx

      Good evening Sheila & a happy new year too you & hubby. I'm pleased he is on the mend now. We had a lovely Chistmas day with Lisa my daughter Ian & grandson Joseph,we stayed over but Boxing Day evening my husband came over very ill,said he felt awful so he went to bed at 6pm. Was still bad in morning we had a 2 hour drive home,was a nightmare journey he should never have driven . On Sunday he looked terrible we phoned doctor they sent paramedic out & he took him to A E,& kept him in over night gave him 9 syringes of Antibiotics which had a bad redaction on his leg as skin was so thin after accident at work with caustic,they said he had a severe viral infection,but he is getting back to normal.
      Thank you for your lovely comment Sheila.
      Halfway finishing another card but have been out all day, helping my friend sort out her brothes home as he passed away just before Christmas,not a nice job but neither of them married so I couldn't let her do it on her own.
      So pleased your both alright Sheila as we do worry when you go missing from Sue's blog. Did your daughter have a nice Christmas.
      Love & Hugs Lynda xx

    Hi Lynda,
    What a gorgeous card! I love the colours and the combination of dies used is lovely. I love that plum coloured card as it seems to go with so much. I would never have thought of buying it before I saw how Sue used it. She is one clever lady!
    So pleased your husband is a bit better. It has been a worrying time for you.
    Thank you for encouraging me on my Pinterest journey! I was so chuffed.
    Lots of love,
    Myra xxx
