Another gorgeous day and loving it!
Hope you are all well. I have been on Grandma duty for a few days as Luca has been off with Tonsillitis. He is getting there now. I was hoping that with summer here baby germs would give us a break for a while but no. Still, lots of cuddles, puzzles and film watching and Luca is on the right track now bless him.
I have made a card today and it fits with the Stampavie challenge at the moment which is Spots.
I have stamped my image with archival coffee onto Waterford water colour paper 300gsm. I have added pink chalk around my image and the edges are distressed with walnut stain.
The flowers are punched ek success and leaves are Martha Stewart. The vellum border is punched with a fiskars punch. The stickles are star dust.
Well, thank you so much for looking and I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Looks like the sun has got his hat on again so enjoy!
love

And yay, I'm in heaven! It looks like I'm going on another visit to the Magnolia store in Sweden this summer! A friend wanted someone to go with her, and off course I said YES!!! Isn't that what friends are for? Ha-ha!
Have a lovely day! Here it's just raining now, so I'm going to spend some hours in my hobbyroom.

Your card is Kim just another dream. Yes I am okay, but the sister of my husband got a terrible diagnosis. Cancer and is already everywhere, even in the spinal cord. The only times I have to cope with, because we wanted to go together on holiday. Just last Friday's surprisingly this terrible diagnosis. I have to cope for now. It is located in a university clinic in Mainz, and how it goes white, only someone in the sky.
