Hi everyone! I'm so glad the weather has picked up a bit! It's perfect timing really, because there is supposed to be a heatwave in the UK over the weekend, and this will be my last post before I go on holiday! We are going to Harlech in Wales, so this will be my last post before we get back - hopefully I'll have some pictures to show you when we come home!
Here is the beach, nearby to my auntie and uncle's holiday home, where we will be staying - we are just on the right of the beach, how convenient is that? :)
Also, we are right next to Harlech Castle, which King Edward I started building in 1283! Here is a lovely picture of it during sunset.
Anyway, onto my card! I have made this card using one of the gorgeous Tilda images my mum stamped out for me, from her new Magnolia kit. I made it following Bev's fabulous sketch, over at Just Magnolia, which I will be entering it into.
I also used Rach's great tutorial for making flowers using Retro punches, which I love! You can find the tutorial here, or on my sidebar. Thanks for the inspiration Rach! :)
Materials:
Image: Magnolia
Sentiment: Tim Holtz
Papers: Paper Mania
Colouring: Pro Markers
Cardstock: Bazzil
Gems, Buttons & Pearls: From My Stash
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Glitter: From My Stash
I just can't get enough of these Tim Holtz tickets that I have been using so much recently, I love them! :)
I had a bit of an accident when I was making this card! I coloured my image and added a few silver gems for extra sparkle and then I put the image through a cutting machine with a Nestie shape and because of the pressure from the machine, the gems cracked! If you click on the picture, you'll be able to see, hee hee! Oops! :)
Anyway, I'd better get going now, as there's lots of packing to be done before we leave to go to Wales! I really hope the weather will be good while we're away!
Good luck for those of you who are entering my blog candy, I will be drawing the winner on Monday 2nd August 2010!
Before I go, I thought I'd show you this picture of my cat, Fizzy, soaking up the sun in our garden a couple of weeks ago, such a diva, hee hee! :)
Thanks so much for looking and have a great week!
Love, Georgia

Hi Georgia
Your card is so pretty, and I love the retro flower.
Hope you have a fab holiday in Harlech (I expect you've been to Portmeirion, there's a wonderful beach there, too.)
Lovely snap of Fizzy, my cat does exactly the same!
