Lilac and Green

We've ended up spending an extra couple of nights at home in order to finalise the kitchen plan and iron out a few hiccups now all the walls are down. It's been a wee bit chilly and a bit of dust but overall not too bad and the workmen are very tidy and considerate :) 
Got a bit of a fright tonight when the gas boiler went haywire five minutes after hubby left to take the dog a long walk - it made an unholy racket then the alarm went off - quick phone call to the builder who had the key to the garage and he popped straight round made it safe and went off to find the plumber who came round and put things right - so I'm glad we decided to stay an extra night!
A card I made yesterday:


Image is from LOTV, coloured with promarkers, highlighted with stickles. cut out with a labels two die, distressed with bundled sage and milled lavender DI then matted onto a silver mirri die. BP is from Dovecraft and it's also matted onto silver mirri card. Card is finished with white broderie anglais lace, ribbon, flowers and pearls.

    pretty blues, lovely image, fab layout as well, I like the use of the mirri card, makes it look like a metal frame.
