Hi all, today it is raining, windy and very cold, yesterday the sun was shining although still very cold, I have finally resorted to putting the heating on for an hour at night. Last night we had a power failure and lost all electric for 2 hours mum had come round while my brother went out for a few hours so I was glad I had her for company. Jess is frightened of the fireworks so kept cuddled up with mum.
A week this coming Sunday mum will be 95 years young so I have been making some cards for her, this one i am sharing with you today is for my son James to give to her.
I have used a digital image from Besties and is a little different to the usual 'big eyes' images, she is called 'Sweet Lil Rose' I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and Copics, I doodled the frame, added some gold leaf around the edging and mounted her onto Bazzill cardstock. The base card is from Hunkydory, I folded the A4 sheet in half then cut is down to make a square, I then measured the edges, cut then embossed fold lines to make a side step card, I added a double bow using organza and gingham ribbon, the banners I adhered using 3d foam pads, flowers, sentiment then found an old wood mounted stamp 'Nan' and stamped it on the image.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
I have just finished another card for my mum and will post that in a day or two until then have a lovely week.

STUNNING! I would like to know more English language that I could better describe how beautiful and marvelous are your cards.
Gorgeous card Lorraine your mum will love it. I prefer the Besties images without the big black spooky eyes. I have two besties with eyes closed and I prefer it that way. So I really like this image too. Hugs, Veerle xxx

Love that centre stepper fold, Lorraine and your design is so pretty! Your mum will adore it!
My girls (dogs) are quite used to the fireworks. We have a lot where we live and they go off quite regularly. They have had to put up with them since they were puppies so are luckily not that bothered.
