Monochrome at Polka Doodles!!!!

The challenge for this week over at the Polka Doodles blog has a monochrome theme set by myself!!!. This is what I made;

I made this yummy tea light card from the newly released Polka Doodles CD Cherryblossom Lane. If you pop over to the Polka Doodles store Nikky still has her sale running so you can pick this gorgeous CD up for only £12.74 (normally £14.99). Better hurry though as it is only for a limited time. 

Hope that you can all join in with the fun this week. There are some amazing prizes too!!!.

GET WELL SOON MY FRIEND

I made this card recently for one of my lovely friends who has recently had major surgery on her spine. She has been a real trooper and so brave so thought this card and a parcel of goodies might cheer her up.

I can never remember the name of this gorgeous stamp as it was sent by a friend. If anyone can help can you leave a comment as I really want to get this stamp. The beautiful papers are from Papermania and the ribbon punch is by Stampin Up. I have used Polka Doodles Clear & Berry Red Dew Drops and a the dies are Nellie Snellen. Coloured with Flexmarkers & Diamond Stickles. Ribbon and eyelets from stash. 

Get well soon my lovely friend xxxx
