Finally..... I was beginning to think I would never make another card again! :) lol
Firstly thanks so much to everyone for all the get well messages and emails, it was lovely to know I was missed. It did turn out to be quite a bit more serious than I first thought and took much longer to heal, but I am fully recovered now :)
So, this is the first card I have made in 3 weeks, and is my DT card for I ♥ Promarkers where this week the challenge is 'add flowers'. Flowers have to be my favourite embellishment and whilst I love the gorgeous ready made ones, I also love to have a dabble myself and create my own blooms from scraps and left-overs. :) Our sponsor this week is the very generous Di's Digis, who gave us some lovely images to play with. I used Mouse With Love and it was really easy and adorable to colour.
I used Promarkers, Prima Papers, MS punch and a mixture of dies and digi-dies. (I will blog about my new digi die-cutter in a later post) :) but it did arrive the day of my injury! (bah!)
I am entering my card in the following competitions:
By The Cute and Girly - In The Garden
Crafters Companion - Here comes Summer
Bling it On - Embossing - the big flower and the nestie are embossed
Emerald Faerie Garden - Petals
Crafty Calender Challenge - Things with wings
Stamp Something - Red, White, Blue
The Stampman Challenge - Butterflies/Dragonflies
Stampin for the weekend - My Favourite things - PM's, Flowers
Dream Valley - Ribbon
Paperplaytime - Digi Monday, with Red, White, Blue
Bearly Mine - Summer Time
Thanks so much for looking at my blog today, and I hope you get chance to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous work and also find time to play along.

I was beginning to wonder.......so am hugely relieved to see you posting again. Take care with it though & don't try too much too soon (NB to remind PEP of same!). Love the delicate butterflies & the pastel colouring. Those fronds look super - never even heard of a digi-cutter.
Much love
Paula (PEP)
