I didn't manage to make a card for last weeks MIM as things have been a bit hectic.... Fortunately I made today's card a few weeks ago for my buddy at work, who's daughter and son-in-law had bought her a new car when her old one gave up the ghost lol!! This lovely image called car ride from Bugaboo was ideal. Her new car is bright red so I had a go with my promarkers for this one, don't think it turned out too bad!
Make it Monday Linky party #115 is now open, and we are sponsored today by the lovely Bugaboo Stamps, you can find this lovely image here. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely makes this week!!
I made the flower myself with black and white card and used a brad for the centre. I embossed some white card with a bubbles embossing folder, the "thanks" sentiment is a cuttle bug die, I've had for ages. Tina wanted "You are amazing" on the card somewhere so I used stick on letters from a scrapbook page I had in my stash, it worked out really well, and looked so nice on the card as on the lettering there are little red roses on some of the letters, unfortunately you can't see it on the photos's. I also added a little star dust stickles around the inside of the card to add a bit of sparkle. Finished off with a sentiment cut out with a spellbinders die one in black and one in white and some black ribbon and four little red pearls.

Isn't this card lovely, I love steam punk when it is done as beautifully as this, and this is only Mandy's second attempt at steam punk! The coggs are a spellbinders die and the gorgeous papers and toppers are from a CD she has recently purchased....Think I will have to put that on my wish list for Santa!!....
Do pop across to her blog and take a closer look and leave her a little love too!!...
That's it from me for now, hope you all have a great week, and hopefully I'll be able to get round to visit sometime this week:)....
Big Hugs,
