Ismaki 37

A super sketch this week again from the ladies at Ismaki. I originally intended for this card to go to my ex-husband's aunt, who is terminally ill with cancer but then I remembered that she just adores owls. So now I am on the hunt for a super owl stamp so I can cheer her up a little. She married late in life (a man 20 years her junior) and so never had any kids. I always think of her as the owl-lady cos she would carry a toy owl everywhere :). Saw her just recently when she took my boys on a hot-air ballon trip. She has decided to do all the things in life she would NEVER dream of doing lol. She has even bought a fast racing car.
Anyways, this sweet Tilda will have to go somewhere else :).

Ismaki 36

As always a super sketch from the Ismaki girls together with brilliant inspirations. I love Sugar Nellie Stamps (who doesn't) as they have something to suit everyone's taste. I made the flower embellishment myself from pearlescent card with some glitter glue (how to craft on a budget lol) and a crochet flower. "God Jul" means happy xmas in danish.
