FABULOUS FRIEND TILDA!

Hi peeps - has anyone else had problems downloading a new Blog background recently, (not the new Blogger ones, but Shabby Blogs, Ingrids etc), or is it just me? Each time I try to add the code into the Add A Gadget thingy, it keeps asking for a title, and the whole code ends up in the side-bar! Anyway, after many frustrating hours I have ended up with just a new Banner so I've changed from Minima, to Stretch Minima, to fill up the width of the page. As it happens, I quite like the result, but I would love to hear if anyone else has been having the same problem. 

So lovely bloggers, the real reason I'm here is to share a card which I have made for a good friend of mine, and as I haven't entered any challenges recently I am popping it into the Just Magnolia Challenge which is "In the Garden" (well, it does have some flowers on, and at a glance the pleated vellum looks a bit like a fence - albeit with a lace trim)!!
The base card is pale green Bazzill, the BP is from American Crafts, attached with machine stitching (see if you can spot the missing stitch)!!
The pleated strip is made from vellum, (quite easy to do on a score board), and I edged this with lace which has also been attached with machine stitching. The flowers are Kaiser Craft with pearls added to the centres. 
Tilda has been stamped with Coffee Archival Ink then coloured with Copics and glitzed up with Glamour Dust. Edges of the Nestie die cut are inked with Milled Lavender DI.
The sentiment and oval punch are both from SU.

Going away for a couple of days - will see you when I get back!
Love and hugs - Sylvia xxxxxxx

Very pretty - really lovely card! I'm just having problems with blogger full stop - post going into draft instead of schedueling, half of post then disappers completely - it's weirdy! Cheers Claire x

Hi Sylvia, you add the background to the HTML not the add gadget thats why its going wrong, you cut and paste the email contents thats sent to you.
Love your gorgeous card its beautiful. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxx
