At Last!

Apologies for my lack of blogging and visiting blogs but I seem to have had one of those weeks when I've been on the go all the time but not achieved very much - hope I don't get too many like that.  I've only just come around to making a card for the Make My Monday challenge which is the final week of the colour wheel theme - using split complimentaries.
Again I found these colours a bit challenging to use together but that's what it is all about really so here is my effort using papers and an image from Funky Hand.  I've done some paper piecing with the image, added ribbon and some flowers in the right colours and that's it - fairly quick to make once I'd decided what to do and could be a cheerful retirement card maybe.  Looking forward now to see what their Design Team have for us during August.


Edited - I've just re-read the MMM post and see they are having a well deserved break through August

    Love the image and the sentiment Val, such a lovely card:)I'll miss the MMM challenge this month and we are on holiday the first two weeks of August so I'll be having withdrawal symptoms!

    Goodness those colours are a right combination - even if they are split complementary, now that's given me an idea for the Twinchies Bright colours!!
    I think your idea of a retirement card is quite delightful & I love the cheekiness of the cat.

    A beautiful card Val, the colours looks great together. Like you've had one of those weeks' I've had one of those days, so I'm going to do just what your card says and put my feet up.

    A fabulous card, I love how you have managed to use the required colours in a bright and cheerful way. I have also found the colours challenging but I have learned quite a lot, I think. Thanks for sharing with us at Make My Monday again. This challenge is open for the whole of August, we are having a break, so if you wish to enter one or more, your very welcome. Caz
