Just Because

Hi guys,  I am going to make this rather quick as I have been sick for the past few days and today was spent sleeping all day!  I think that maybe I have a good case of jet lag and cruise lag and I'm feeling ever so dizzy!  If it gets worse tomorrow, you may just get a card pic and no text!  A quick rundown for this card, though.  I embossed half of the background and cut it on the diagonal.  I added some blue to the top to match my ribbon.  I cut the largest Floral Oval out of decorative card, topped it with two Moroccan accent pieces and my sentiment stamped and cut out with a small Floral Oval and inked.  I cut one of the nautical borders to run diagonally with my embossed background.  Ties a double bow and added some stick pins.  Some pearlie swirlies along the border finished off the background and the paper piercing competed the card.


Here is Sheila in Hamburg in the town centre.  It was very pretty ,but since we were there on Sunday, nothing was open!

This is the Police building in the centre.  Quite spectacular isn't it?

Back on board the ship, the waiters paraded around the room with the lights off with their flaming Baked Alaska.  All for now, Sue x

strangely, I am commenting on today's card which is pretty and I like thre use of the dies. However, I am still on the blog for 12th May, and the card which is on my email is not on the blog. Sue, hope you're feeling rested and able to really enjoy your time with your Mom. Wonder what dies you have in store for us tho'.

Oh dear Sue, I am so sorry to hear you have been so unwell. I will comment more on that when I come to the latest post as I am so behind.
This card is fab-u-lous and I adore the colour mix. I think the reason I love it so much is because the card would look as lovely with or without the stunning bow.

Hi Sue
Good colour choices, very opulent with the big bow effect. Love it.
