A card for Josie .... or not!

Hello all! How are you today? I hope you are well! I am good but regretting asking the tree men to come this morning - they have to take down part of a tree that is overhanging my garage - anyhoo - I'm wishing they weren't coming because now i won't be able to swim - and I really would like to! Lol!! Nevermind - i will just have to manage! If they're quick I might still squeeze one in!

Today i have a card I made for my niece Josie - although as it happens I haven't sent it to her - I forgot about it and now the parcel has gone winging its way to Germany! Oh well - life seems to be like that!!!


I have used two chocolate baroque stamps - the saying and the klimt panel. I first stamped in versamark and added black embossing powder.  For the top panel I repeated the process and added gold embossing powder.


You can get a closer look here...


I love this panel - such a fabulous stamp!!

Hope you like it! Don't know who I'll send it to now! 

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    It is a fabulous card Rachel and beautiful colours. Klimt is one of my favourite artists and love his use of patterns.
    Hope you managed to get the tree sorted

    How annoying to find out after the parcel had been posted. It is a gorgeous design and looters. We have 4 trees the council are going to be taking down shortly. Not looking forward to the havoc it is going to create. Hugs mrs A.

    The gilded Klimt is gorgeous, and the words are wonderful. I'm sure Josie won't mind if it arrives late. Hope the tree surgery has gone well... and that you managed to squeeze in some swimming!!
