I’ve spoken before about my friend Linda who makes the most beautiful cards, well I thought it was about time that I showed you some of her work.

This is a large card, 8″ x 8″ , which is one of Linda’s favourite card sizes. The card front has been covered with a plain pink and then a floral background paper, leaving just a border of white card showing.

Two strands of  deep pink organza ribbon have been wrapped around the matts and tied with a centre bow.  Two rose embellishments have been attached to the bow.

The rubber stamped Sugar Nellie image has been beautifully coloured with Copic Markers on a matt cut from a circle Nestability.

This has been mounted onto a floral matt on which Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Combo Double Loops set has been used.

The floral matt has then been layered onto a pink matt where just the corners have been puched.

Finishing touch is a  pre-printed sentiment has been matt and layered onto a pink scalloped edge Nestability. Linda let me into a little secret about the positioning of the sentiment – it covers where she made a mistake with the ink, but you’d never know!

There is nothing difficult about this card – Linda just has a lovely eye for composition and has the knack of knowing just what works well.
