I'm tired this evening

Well the title says it all, it's not quite 8:30 and my eyes are already feeling heavy (not helped by hubby snoring on the sofa lol), this is what shift working does for you. Was on a late last night so got home around 9:45 and of course am wide awake and buzzing so must have been 11:30 before I climbed the wooden hill to bed and then had quite a restless night for some reason. Then early shift today so up at 5:30 so I think its just catching up with me now (and hubby). On the plus side of things I had it confirmed today by my manager that I can reduce my hours to 30 a week from 2nd April yay!!! I am so looking forward to a crafty day at home during the week.
Anyway enough rambling as I do have a card to share, this is one I made at the weekend for one of my work friends to give to her mum.

The image is from Lili of the Valley and is one of the designs from the image stack that came free with this month's Papercraft Inspirations magazine (think I will have to add this to my wish list), which I have coloured with ProMarkers, inked the edges to soften them a little and the matted onto Kraft card. The papers are from Nitwit Collections, the sentiment is from a small clear stamp set that I purchased from Hobbycraft ages ago. I made the flowers using a Marianne die cut using pink pearlised card and placing two of each size flower together to create a layer of petals. I then embossed the centres with a ball tool so that the petals were raised slightly from the centre area and so have some dimension, the buttons that form the flower centres are from my stash and were cut from an old pair of socks believe it or not. I then finished the card off by adding a Martha Stewart punched butterfly punched from some pale pink vellum, a few gems and some bakers twine for the flower centres.
