The flowers are coloured mostly in Bashful Blue and Night of Navy, with the little ones in Marina Mist (the closest I had to Brocade Blue). The stamp-a-ma-jig featured prominently in today's card, necessary for both positioning the corners correctly and lining up the sentiment from Love & Laughter in the middle. I picked out the words 'love' and 'laughter' with my Night of Navy marker before stamping. This was then mounted onto Bashful Blue and Night of Navy card.

My husband has taken this week as holiday and is being ever so useful around the house. He's been doing pretty much all of the cooking and washing up, which I really do appreciate! It does lead to some interesting culinary presentation moments though. When I asked if he could use up some meat from a barbecue, here is what he came up with:
Crackers, just like me! Thanks as always for visiting me today,
Beautiful card, Victoria. Love those blues. Your lunch made me smile x
ReplyDeleteOMG, Victoria, LMAO! You two must be a laugh riot morning 'til night. I'd say he is one cool dude to do cooking and washing up (mine does the former only, but that's still awesome) and the plate decorating! When you started the next sentence, "It does lead to some interesting ...," I turned my eyes away ...

Such a great idea to use those beautiful flowers as a frame for your sentiment Victoria! I daren't show your hubby's dishes to my children because I know I'd be sacked as an incompetent chef! Vicky x

Can you send your husband over to my house - every thought about renting him out!!!!!! Great sense of humor and quite delicious looking too. What more could you ask from life. A very funny husband that helps - a gorgeous cat that loves - and a tremendous talent for making beautiful cards!
