Good evening! I hope everyone has enjoyed such a lovely day as I have today!
All my five girlies came for lunch, my daughter, my son's fiancée and three gorgeous granddaughters, wonderful! The weather was lovely, warm and sunny but not too hot so we were able to have lunch in the garden. Only one wasp joined in, he wasn't invited...or welcomed!
It is such a delight to watch my two older granddaughters with the baby, they really love their tiny cousin! Poor old Nanny (me!) doesn't get much of a look in when they're around!!!
My card today is 'just for fun ' card. The beautiful image is from Aurora Wings, coloured with copics.
A bit of distressing, embossing, a little frontage and some faux stitching, and a scrap of lace make up the background, the lovely poppy die cuts are Memory Box.
Thanks for looking
Have a nice evening.
