I do apologise for my absence from Blogland but I have had major internet/connection problems, I am also looking after my Grandson during the week on certain days which I am finding a pleasure but very tiring, it has been a long time since I have entertained a 2 year old.

I used an image from A Day for Daisies coloured with Copics, the papers are from my stash, I used gold mirri card for the die cuts and for mounting both papers and image the sentiment is computer generated, I also added some pearls, flower lace, flowers and a double bow.

It has been a long time since I made an easel card so I decided to use this card fold in an 8" x 8" card blank, as it was quite large I also made a box and added pink tissue paper.
