Anyway for this card I used a stamp from Moments In Time called Just For You, took me a few goes to get it to imprint perfectly and I still think it looks a little heavy. I have the collection of these stamps but this is the first time I have used any of them and I think they are going to take a bit of practice. She is coloured with promarkers and the papers were a freebie with my Quick Cards magazine called Vintage Rose Collection. This is the first time I have used zig-zag stitching on my cards and the inspiration for this card is from Rachel Jakes her cards are amazing.
I even did the inside for this card again following the inspiration from Rach :)Posted this card off today so really hope my old work colleague likes it as she also makes cards and always sends me a handmade card for my birthday.
Thank you for stopping by and dont forget to leave a comment as I love reading them :)

Hi Suzilou, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment, that's much appreciated. Great to see a fellow Brummie in blogland too. Your card is totally lovely, actually I've been looking through your blog and everything is sooooo good, I'm seriously impressed by anyone that decorates the inside of their cards, I usually run out of steam long before then! lol. coB
Lovely card and such a beautiful image!
Hugs, Iulia

hiya hun, this is gorgeous with a capital G, love the pretty punched out flowers and papers, well done with the zig zag.. to be honest with you I think that zig zag is more forgiving than straight stitch, the inside is as beautiful too, thank you for your sweet words, ** blushing**
hugs Rach xxxxx
