It seems a while since I got down to making a few cards for challenges, and today I thought I might just have to chance, but I decided to upgrade to Windows 10, which was somewhat time-consuming and equally frustrating and probably a mistake. It seems that I no longer have the ability to scroll down a page using two fingers on my touch pad. I have searched the internet for a solution, which to date has been fruitless, however I still managed to make a card!
This was made with a scrap of card left over from some inky experiments which I decided to over-stamp with some butterflies and grunge dots and emboss in gold.
I cut the banner and the square with MFT pierced dies and added the die-cut Memory Box butterfly and sentiment.
I thought a little Cuttlebug dry embossing added just a touch of texture to the banner.
It follows the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches 
and is also for Casology Wings 
This is me in Spain last week about to go out for a meal to celebrate my 70th birthday. We had a fabulous time !
Fabulous card, I love the colour scheme.

ReplyDeleteLovely card! Belated Happy Birthday too... Also, you were brave to upgrade to Windows 10 so quickly....I'm waiting a while to see what the general consensus is. Win 7 works just fine.
ReplyDeleteGoegeous colors !!
ReplyDeleteSimply Beautiful! Those MFT pierced dies are on my wish list.

Love that gorgeous inky panel and the embossed banner behind it. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel Chrissie. My poor hubby spent hours yesterday updating to Windows 10 which totally wiped out our virus protection, keyboard; and wouldn't allow him to type in the search box. What a nightmare! Anyway, moaning over, you're card is beautiful. I love the rich cours that you've used :)

ReplyDeleteYou are such an expert with white on white but when you add some dramatic colour your cards are even more spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Yes, we are hesitating to do the Windows update...may set that job said for a rainy day when we have tons of time to kill (I'm assuming there will be issues)! I do love your card -- what a great take on the sketch and a beautiful use of rich colors against white! Thanks for joining us at CASology...and happy birthday!
