Good morning dear crafting friends

I hope you are well.

You may have noticed last week that my card was missing from Midweek Magnolias, due to me being busy with family.

Anyway I have made a Midway card, the challenge as you know is Buttons and Bows and you still have a week to enter (if you haven't already)

As always there's a magnificent prize from Magnolia Sweden up for grabs so well worth entering your card.

I made another criss cross card using Summer Wedding Tilda

I've used those new gorgeous papers by Maja

Satin ribbon, Angelica lace, pearl brads, cameo, chrysanthemum and little wooden heart button (painted white, beside the flowers) all these goodies are from The Ribbon Girl

For more inspiration you might want to take a look at the gorgeous cards made by my Midweek Magnolia friends, they are a talented bunch!
