Made a start ....

.... on the February workload!  My mother-in-law's birthday is this Saturday, but since she comes over for dinner every Thursday evening, today was my deadline for getting her card done.  I was sticking the last bits together before I left for school this morning, and had to bring it to school for half-decent light to photograph, bit last minute-y really, but it's done and she liked it very much, so phew!!  Here's what I made:

Update 11th Feb: This card was picked as a Cupcake Cutie on Cupcake Craft - thank you!
Another Update 13th Feb: This card was picked as a winner on Mojo Monday - thank you!

I used the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday (turned on its side), and I'm also entering this into the following challenges: Cupcake Craft ("Yellow and Grey"), Moving along with the Times ("Only Girls Allowed"), Crafts and Me ("Favourite Colour Combo") and ABC Challenge ("G is for Going Dotty").

I really like yellow and grey combined, so much so I'm thinking it might look nice in the sitting room!!  I pulled together papers from 2 different manufacturers and 4 different collections, and added brads and buttons from another 3 lines.  Such diversity!!  I printed the digi image twice and cut out and layered up three petals over the base image, adding a few stripes of glossy accents for extra oomph!  Here's a closer view:
