Here's a birthday card I made for a friend. I hope she's into neutrals. This colour combo is so peaceful and calming that I almost fell asleep....or perhaps that's because I only shut my eyes for 3 hours last night ... zzzzzzzz

| The papers are from Papermania's Lincoln Linen 6x6 pack. Going back to my roots with distress inks, ribbon, lace, flowers and Liquid Pearl in White Opal. |

| The sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque's Loving Sentiments set, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. I fussy cut the dress form and randomly dotted the central panel with Liquid Pearls. |

The sketch for this card of from MojoMonday #203, I drew inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room #175 "Romantic" + pearls, lace and flowers and for colours I turned to The Play Date Cafe #190 "Burnt Umber, Honey, Butter". Other challenges: The Squirrel and The Fox #48 "Use Something Spooled"; Avenue 613 #28 "Anything Goes, optional Birthday"; Crafter's Cafe Blog #19 "Anything Goes" and Emmas Crafty Challenge "Lace & Pearls"; Crafting Musketeers "Ribbon & Pearls".
That's all from me today. I've had a very long day and am just about ready for bed. Thanks for stopping by - means a lot that you make time to drop in. I wish y'all a lovely day and we'll catch up very soon!
Beijinhos! zzzzzz
