Hello... I hope you are all well this morning! it's time for a new challenge with Team A over at
and this week we have one of my favourite themes ....
'Monochrome'
I think the easiest way to define monochrome is.... different shades of one colour... and it is definitely one of my favourite themes! :-)) I decided to make a girly card with a pocket inside for Gift Card.
We are sponsored by the fabulous Dilly Beans
We were kindly given some images to use and I have chosen Girl and Butterfly....
Image: Girl and Butterfly - Dilly Beans
Lilac Mirri Card: embossed with eBosser folder
Border: Tonic Studios Vine Punch
Star Dust Stickles on Butterfly
Sparklet, Pearls and feather from Stash
(Image coloured with Promarkers and Copics)
I saw a corner pocket design on my team buddy Janice's Website a while back. So I thought I'd have a go at making one although I don't think mine looks as good!! ... I could have maybe glammed the inside up a bit more but was in a rush when making it!! I've not added any sentiments so I can use this for any occasion where I want to give a gift card.. for a girl anyway... don't think a bloke would appreciate this !!! LOL
I hope you can pop on over to the main Divas by Design website and check out my Teamies gorgeous creations this week! :-))
I'm sorry that my commenting is still very hit and miss. We are still waiting for a place at the nursing home for my dad. He is stable ... not really improving... but I think he is as comfortable as they can make him. I can't believe how time flies by when you are hospital visiting and trying to remember all the everyday jobs that you need to fit in also.
My daughter and I did make time to watch Downton on Sunday and really enjoyed it... we opened a box of choccies and so that was a nice evening! Looking forward to the next episode and also Strictly on Friday/Saturday!
I will catch up with you all very soon
Take Care
Love and hugs

I'm ready for Strictly! I did watch Downton but, when I was talking to my SIL she'd taped it and it only took 1 hr 10 mins to watch lol..Those adverts were on for 20 mins! in total.{Will tape it this week!}
This is just fabulous, what a great choice of colour, and gorgeous image.
Love it.
Was a tad disappointed with Downton, felt it a bit slow, but I can see trouble brewing.

Sue your card is beautiful! I love the purples, so rich and elegant. The feather is divine on it. Sorry to hear about your father, I hope you find him a suitable place soon. It is hard taking care of our parents, both of mine need care also, you just do not think those things would happen. I hope you have a very nice weekend.

Hi Sue
Loving your beautiful card. Such gorgeous colours!
I hope your Dad gets settled into his new home soon. I can remember it seeming to take ages for them to sort everything for my MIL. But looking back it probably wasn't as long a time as it felt!!
Take care of yourself.
