Shine like a star

Hello my wonderful friends

I hope you are all fine in this crazy world we live in.

I am so sorry to be so late with my bloggings and updates

and to be honest I haven't been able to sit down in my craftroom for some months.
Health and now the new situation with a surten virus has kept me away.

Hopefully I am on my way back to do what I love.

I like today to share with you my card for the
Simply Magnolia challenge for April.

I know I am late, but no reason to not share anyway :)

You are not old

Hi there.. Lovely to see you.

My mom was one of those 9 that we celebrated with round number this summer. She turned 70 last January.
And for her I tried out a little different color for me. Not often I use yellow in my cards, it is a bit out of my style. Still I think it turned out nice.

"You are not old, you have only been young a little longer than the most"

For this card I have used:

Stamps from Magnolia - Matryoshka Tilda from Little circus Moscow collection 2013 and Flower Tilda with bowknot from Animal of the Year collection 2014

Colored with copic

Designpaper from Pion Design - Till mor, ranunkel

Dies from Spellbinders, Magnolia Doohickeys and someone I don't know from where.

Flowers from WOC
