Transport

Thank you my crafty pals for your comforting comments and e-mails, so pleased you all liked my card also. Why Oh! Why are most of my relatives male, good job they all like cars and football. Since I bought my first cutter I have been on the lookout for a die that would cut a penny farthing. I now have it and the scrap from it was used for the matching banner. I could not wait to put it to use and as I need a card for my nephew next week, his favourite thing is sports cars I thought combining the two would be a giggle. I may even continue to make male cards for some time as I have none in the box. 
I am wondering if we are the only place where it is still snowing, just light flurries at the moment. The sky was an amazing red this morning but I was too sleepy to take a photo. Anyway I shall post this and then hopefully catch up on a bit of blogging. Take care all and I hope you don't get flooded. xx Flora
Card is A5 made from pearlescent blue
with pearlescent champagne paper on top

    Good evening Flora, still snowing very heavily here almost waist high in parts rather than knee high

    Love your card and I think that penny farthing Die is a must have.
    How clever you are to use the waste for the banner.
    Have a great weekend

    Hi Flora,
    what a super card. Love those die cuts. Especially your banner. Very clever idea, and they are so in fashion at the mo. You do find the wonderful and unusual dies.
    It is snowing in Mansfield, Nr Notts at the moment as my stepson lives there.
    Have a wonderful and warm weekend.
