Im so happy to report Dads loads better 'phew'-Just Magnolia & hAnglar & stAnglar challenge week 94-Love

Good morning everyone and huge thanks to everyone who sent my Dad their best wishes Im am so happy to tell you hes loads better, wasnt quite well enough to be taken out to dinner but was to go for coffee and a chat and putting the world to rights and a rant at the newspapers lol...hes going on holiday with my Sister to Cyprus so hes involved in looking at villas and flights and seem almost his old self Im so relieved and happy...my card for today is for our new challenge at Just Magnolia & hAnglar & stAnglar which this week is Love themed, huge thanks to everyone who gave my sketch a go last week but I think I made it too complicated as the number where done by a huge amount...oh well back to the drawing board lol...I used this beautiful Wedding couple from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, I love the way she touches his face, so cute, I coloured them with distress inks and the papers are Prima, fabulous papers, I used more seam binding from the Ribbon girl, I could get seriously addicted to this lush stuff, the sentiment is a Whimsy Love letter seal stamp, I added a few pearls and a crystal spray I got from a wedding shop ages ago...the sketch is from Sketch Saturday and Im also entering this for the DYSU Spots challenge and the Pear Tree Designs Valentine challenge...when you have time pop on over to the Just Magnolia blog, the work from the rest of our DT is amazingly beautiful as always...have a wonderful day everyone and I hope you get a bit of sunshine wherever you are
