Daisy Dress!

Hello Everyone from a beautiful sunny, hot Inverness, thankfully there's a wee breeze blowing which keeps it from being too hot.  It's too glorious to do housework, so I've been sitting in the garden reading, Alistair has been cutting the hedge....oh I do like to see a man working.

Anyway, I've popped in with another card for a challenge, I've made a few for various challenges over the last couple of weeks, not something I do normally, but for some reason the challenge themes have appealed to me....never win right enough, lol. So this challenge is http://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2019/04/black-and-white.html

Another Chocolate Baroque image, Daisy Dress, stamped in Versafine Claire black ink. It give a fabulous crisp image. Free butterfly stamps from Creative Stamping in the background, black sheer ribbon, black sequins and a few heart gems in the center of some of the daisies. This is one of my favourite stamps from CB and I think it really lends itself to the black and white theme.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my last card. Hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend, take care and see you soon,

So beautiful, the image is gorgeous and the butterflies make for a perfect background. Love the black & white too. Way too hot here, there's no breeze at all.....so I'm in the shade while my boys are doing some jobs in the garden for me.....they are good! xx

Gorgeous Kate. I love this stamp and your card looks great in monochrome, the butterflies look great too. Yes, it's been glorious hasn't it. I got both of my lawns cut first thing and I've been getting lots of other jobs done. It's been a very productive day, so I probably won't be able to move in the morning lol :) Take care x

So pretty in the monochrome. Sat in the garden too with an empty glass of wine trying to get up the where with all to tackle emptying the shed prior to it being demolished. Lol. Happy Easter
Wishes . Hugs Mrs A.

Fabulous stamp Kate, and as you say it really suits the monochrome. Maybe this will be where your luck changes and you might win! We too have been having terrific weather and like you there has been just a little breeze to keep the heat down a wee bit. Yesterday we were having tea with friends and it was a little bit too hot for me - I whispered that ... lol!! Hugs Christine xxx
