Pretty Card for Mother's Day!

Good Evening to you All, I hope everyone is good, but if not I do hope that you'll feel better soon.
It's been a lovely day up here, blue skies, sunshine but, cold, but better than rain.  Sadly, I was at work and being frustrated by our printer running out of ink after having new cartridges put in last Thursday. I had a pile of admin work to be getting on with, but didn't get any of it done.  None of us can think why we are running out so quickly, but hopefully Amazon will have sent our new inks and we will have them tomorrow.  I hate when I'm all geared up to do something, and it doesn't happen, especially when I've cleared a space in my work diary to do it, and I am fast finding out that 18hrs. isn't a lot of time in which to do the many tasks that is expected of me.  Mind you, I'm glad I only do 18hrs.

I have a card for you tonight;

This is a commissioned card for my friend to give to her mum.
I do love these cross over cards, and I've only made one befor and then didn't manage to cut the opposit side to match, but I got it right this time.
I used a topper from a Stephanie Weightman range, Flower paper from same range.
Paper in the pocket is a freebie
Silver Mirri Card
Hobby Craft Lace and ribbon from my box
The Ribbon Girl Charm
Signature Butterfly die
SB Aster Die, made from tissue paper, I did it Hazel!!, it does help having umteen layers.
Pearls and gems from Papermania
Glamour Dust for added sparkle.

I hope Karen's mum likes it, I think she will.

Thank you everyone for visiting me and leaving kind comments, I do appreciate each and every one of them.

I've got the evening to myself, hubby off to Dingwall to watch Ross County and Caley Thistle play footy.  He will be frozen, better him than me.  It's not something he does all that often, but his friend had a free ticket, so as Alistair just loves anything that's free, off he went.

Enjoy the rest of your evening, and I see you soon,

  11. Hi Kate
    Never tried one of these before but will have to give it a go. Smashing card and I'm sure that your friend will think so too. Love the tissue flower.
    I'm doing extra hours to get things done at the moment and I'm sure the next suggestion will be the proverbial broom stuck somewhere as well lol ! Hope you can catch up without too much stress.
    Take care.
