Nadine has a beautifully delicate touch and a great eye for design and colour, so it was difficult to choose from all her gorgeous projects! 

I really enjoyed browsing through her blog in her original German - just using a translator for critical bits!  What a great way that would be to learn a new language - as long as you don't rely on Google Translate, which would have us believe that the lovely Nadine might eat her children! "My dear ones, I am swinging into our kitchen now, because our kids are all coming from the school and wanting to be eaten."  Haha!  Shame on you, Google!

I love the look of watercolour wash backgrounds (and Nadine is an expert!).  I've never been good at them but I love this card of Nadine's so I've been practising!  You'll very quickly see that my touch with colour is far less delicate and I need a lot more practice!

The watercolour wash background uses Daffodil Delight, Berry Burst and Pear Pizzazz inks

I'm hoping the colours look right on your monitor - I found I had to make some adjustments because the beautiful Berry Burst colour was looking much too blue on my screen.

To the watercolour background I added a Swirly Scribble cut in Whisper White, paper-pieced with Daffodil Delight card.

The word "Friend" is cut with one of the new Lovely Words dies - I simply snipped it out of it's little frame and glued it to a Whisper White oval cut with one of the Stitched Shapes dies.  I adhered the panel to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I've added some twirls of Gold Metallic thread above the oval shape for a little more interest.

The decorative panel is layered onto a piece of Whisper White card and then adhered to the front of the Berry Burst card.

I used an offcut from the front panel to decorate the inside of the card

I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.
