Hello!!!
This fortnight's challenge at LCI is yet another special one as we are celebrating another new release... I know how does Kerry do it... four weeks ago we had the released of the uber trendy Killer Heels digi's collection, two weeks ago there were the oh-so-usable Love and Billy Bear images, and this week sees the launch of the Through the Ages images!!
Hopefully you are blog hopping with us already and should have come from the super talented Rose, who is joining us this fortnight as a GD :-D, if not why not head back to the start here as there are prizes to be won!!
The name first out of the hat after the closing date can chose any 6 images from the 20 (yes you read that right...20!!!) images from the new release and a further 5 runners up, can pick any three!! If you can't wait that long, head over to the store where you can buy the images for £1.75 each

As there are often special birthdays and anniversary's that us cardmakers find ourselves needing a suitable image for, this new range totally fulfils all possible options (although if I'm honest if a couple reach their 70th wedding anniversary that is quite something, so maybe this image is more usable for birthdays!!)
Taking the age of the potential recpient into account I went for a more subtle colour scheme and papers than I would for someone younger - not that I'm saying that older people aren't trendy... my mum is 77 and still challenges me for who has the more trendy (and high!!) shoes... I win only on the basis that she's now of the age of the comfy shoe most of the time, killer heels for special occasions only, where as I go for fabulous all the time... and my feet know it!! Anyway, I digress!!
I coloured my image with copics and added glossy accents to the champagne glass, and glamour dust to the bubbles, centre of the rose and to the bunting. I used one of my old sketches (WHY can I not find a copy on my computer!!!), some MME papers from my stash and stitched all the panels using gold thread, and added some cream lace and some satin ribbon and pins to finish my card of. Love how these papers work so well with Kraft c/s!
Hope you like it! Your next stop on the blog hop is the uber-talented Susan

Beautiful card Sue, love all the layers and stitching (mine won't go straight lol) and your colour scheme is so pretty.
Big up to your 77 year old mum in killer heels - I can't imagine my poor old mum teetering around in stilettos!
