Lady G & Watermelon Thanks
Hey there, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I sure did. I had brunch at the Biltmore yesterday, and got word that Lady Godiva is at the dealership, and is getting the accessories put on this week! WAHOO! Only 5 more sleeps and she will be MINE!
Here’s a few sneak peek pics the dealership sent me before the driving lamps are installed. Also the interior before they change out the steering wheel, shifter, and emergency brake to the tuscan beige leather. It’s so cool seeing her in real life! After creating her online, I was hoping everything would look good. I LOVE her and she will look even better after all of the changes. Click each photo to see full size!
OK back to card blogging… LOL! I am really loving the new Lockhart images, and had to use this darling Itty Bitty watermelon.
My sewing machine went a little wonky with the stitches last night. Not sure why it skipped a couple? Oh well! I didn’t want to waste all the work I had done, so here it is, warts and all, LOL!
Copic colors used were: RV04, R14, YG03, YG17, W2. Prism cardstock in intense kiwi & black. Neenah solar white. Lime green Stickles on the watermelon rinds, and black Copic Spica glitter on the watermelon seeds.
- Copics, Lockhart, Neenah, Memento black ink and CHF backgrounder all from Ellen’s store.
- Prism cardstock from CHF.
- Stickles and May Arts ribbon from Jacksonebelle Embellishments.
- Doodlebug sugar coated black brads. Thank you charm from the bridal section of Michaels.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Such a sweet card, T. Lady G is beautiful.

Your card is really sweet - my guess is your tension is off on the sewing machine, which can be a bit of a pain to adjust. I’m excited for you and your new car - it is so cute - I just love those minis. Good luck waiting 5 more days.

I’m so excited for you and Lady G! Good for you! I know you’re going to love her dearly. And can I say that I love that you posted your card anyway. It humanizes you to me! I love your blog and your skills and to know you have things happen like the rest of us makes me feel so much better! Love the lime stickles for the rhines. I’m going to have to steal that little tidbit.

Oh boy! She’s really here! You must be bouncing big time! How nice of the dealership to send those photos to you. Remember, be sure to share a photo of you sitting in her with a big silly grin on your face. BTW, love that bright and beautiful watermelon card too! Linda

Lady Godiva is absolutely stunning- a work of art in herself! I am so… excited for you! I love the watermelon card! The sparkly rinds are perfect- I think the “wonkie” stitches just gives it a whimsical look that really goes well with the polka dots and bling! You meant to do that, didn’t ya!

Such an adorable card, Trudee! I passed on that stamp during Ellen’s sale, I wish I hadn’t! Now I have to pay full price for it! LOL! Oh, well, the other stamps I bought will keep my busy while I wait for it.
I am so excited for you to get your new wheels! She is a beauty!
