Graduation Card and Wallet

Good Afternoon my Friends.  I hope you are all keeping warm today as its really frosty and cold here on the coast.  But the sun is shining and if you wrap up well its a lovely day for a walk.  I walk every morning for the daily papers and now its part of my routine.   I hope all our friends in Illianois are coping with all the damage left from the storm. It looked really devastating on the news. Thinking of You All.
My card to-day was another commision for a graduation card for a daughter. This is my 4th this month.
 I went for ivory and gold as my theme for this one, and decoupaged the image that I have had since I started cardmaking, but its not showing up very well.  I used SB dies Enchanted Labels 28 and the corners were from the SB Lace Doilly accents. The wallet was made again from Ivory hammered card and the flap was in gold, the corners were cut using Marianne Anja dies.  Tryng hard to finish off some projects that I started months ago, thinking that Christmas was months away, now its upon us and I'm starting to panic.
  Take Care.  Hugs Rita xxxx

It has been a cold and frosty day here also Rita.
My, aren't you doing so well with all those commissions, not surprised that people are wanting you to create cards on their behalf.
This is super, what a perfect image that is and have to say that the wallet makes it extra special.

Really pretty and elegant Rita. Hope you stay warm, we still haven't got our heating on yet as it is so warm in our apartment. Will not be many more days though until it goes on.

The card and wallet are really beautiful, I love the effect those Anya dies create and the central image on the card is very striking. They say we are in for some snow tomorrow........ Hugs, Anne x

Good for you on the daily walk. It really has to become part of a routine, as I well know. Every time we get started back to the gym, one of us would have health issues, or we'd have to travel. Then start over. (I started back on Mon, going again tomor & Fri, then we're gone for a week!). Love, Love this glitzy graduation card. The gold is so very elegant & striking and your decoupage showed up quite well on my monitor. The white & gold intricate mats set the image off very well, I thought. And your envelope is always just as lovely as your cards. Now that is a really professional touch! TFS & stay warm. Hugs
