Hi Everybody,
Something exciting is coming! 
Hi Everybody,
Thank you for joining in yesterday with the Facebook Live and I am so happy that you liked the collection. And also for the comments on Ella’s appearance in the video. She was at the vet on Thursday to be spayed and she is feeling a bit sorry for her self at present. But it is better than unwanted kittens and she will be fine in a couple of weeks.
The draw for the gift offered in the Friday Freebie has been done and as I explained I am unable to post it to you as yet because of the Cyber attack on Royal Mail.
But I promise you it will get to you eventually.
So the name this week is
Val Wallis
So if you could email your postal address please to me
christina@card-making-magic.com
and then be patient until it gets to you. Be sure to let me know when you do have it and I hope you enjoy playing with it once you do.
More tomorrow…
Hugs xx

Tomorrow sees the launch of the new All Occasions Collection on Facebook Live and I will be there with Lou Collins at 12.30 so I hope you can join us then.
For this card I have cut the panel out with the Alternate Stitched 5x7 and used double sided tape in two different widths.
I have rubbed some purple foil over the top to leave the stripes.
The panel has then been embossed in a folder for texture before being added to the card base.
The banner has been cut with both the Stitched layer and the plain and they has also been embossed in the folder.
The flower is created from some lilac foam using an old die that I have had for years and the layers are simply held together with a flower brad.
This pretty card is so easy to make and uses just an ordinary embossing folder and some white ink.
The folder I used for this card is the Perfect Roses from Card Making Magic
I embossed the design onto some pale blue card and then carefully went over the raised areas with the white ink.
I use a small brayer for this as that only caught the top most areas with the white ink and made them stand out against the blue.
Once the ink was dry I trimmed the panel down to layer onto some more of the blue card and then made the whole lot fit a 6x6 white card base.
The panels were wrapped with blue parchment before being added to the base and the sentiment verse was added to another pale blue panel and then added with foam pads to the side.
The blooms are from my large stash of flowers and I used white leaves to accompany these. They have all been dotted with glue and sprinkled with glitter.
This couldn't be easier to create and you can use any folder that you have in your own collections. Using the brayer helps with the placement of the white ink much better than a brush of blending tool.
You could use stamped floral images, foamiran flowers or bought Mulberry ones as I have here.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
