Wedding Card

Good Morning 

So it looks like it's going to be a lovely weekend here in 'sunny Southend' and it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK... woo hoo. Plenty of things to keep me busy! 

Anyway, I have a wedding to go to in June, it's my half brother's, that is subject to good ole Boris letting us all go. We won't know until the 21st June, my fingers are crossed for them, they should have got married March 2020. So I'm dress shopping tomorrow with my best friend. So for the occasion I have made a card for them. Their colour scheme is navy blue and burgundy. (You may not think the ribbon goes, but I wanted to add some navy and I didn't like the card with navy card stock.) So here it is...

To make this card I used the following:

7x7 card blank

Whimsy Dream Clipart image which you can find HERE, coloured with Promarker's on Neenah card

I foiled the image first in gold using my laser printer, Thermoweb decofoil and passed it through my laminator. You might not be able to see this in the photo, but it's very effective!

The dies are unknown

The font is 'The Quiet Night'

Everything else is from my stash.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and have a great weekend.

Best Friend

Hello everyone

I hope everyone is well and those in the UK have enjoyed their first day of proper freedom! So I'm off to a craft beer and pizza night on Wednesday with the other half and his sister and her husband, it'll be the first time we've all seen each other since way before Christmas. So looking forward to it!

I had a birthday on the 15th and didn't get loads of crafty bits... boo hoo, but I did get a new craft lamp and it's brilliant.

Anyway, I have spent today making a card for my friend who has been very supportive to me recently, too long to explain. Hope she likes it. So here it is...

To make this card I used the following, 6x6 card blank, a Bildmalarna image ( I do miss their stamps) coloured with Promarkers, Lili of the Valley sentiment, check card is a left over piece, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, dies are unbranded and everything else from my stash.

Have a great week and see you soon.

'Rock Star'

Good evening friends and visitors

I hope every one is keeping well? We've had  mixture of weather here in 'Sunny Southend,' rain, sun, wind and hail stones... wow, who upset the weather Gods? So I had my 2nd Covid jab this week, it's knocked me for six this time! 

Anyway, I have the dreaded masculine card to share with you, which was made for the brother-in-law (as I call him) he used to be in a band, so I hope he liked it. This card was well out of my comfort zone and there is not a lot to it. So here it is...

To make this card I used a 6x6 card blank, Funky Fossil stencil which you can find here, I stencilled this onto watercolour card using Tim Holtz distress inks, black and red card are leftovers from another project, the die is unbranded and bling is from my stash.

I would like to say a big thank you for all the lovely comments I have received on my last two cards and I'm pleased to say that they have been picked as a top 3/5, which is amazing!

Have a great weekend, I've a busy week next week, as I can go and visit friends from Monday... yay!

I do love a flower!

Hello friends and visitors,

So who can believe it's May already and how blooming cold it's been. We had terrible winds here in 'sunny Southend' Monday and Tuesday, they were horrendous, my mother in laws garden was pretty banged up, but she wouldn't let us go out there. I've got my second Covid jab on the 11th, I'll be so happy when I've had it, hopefully there will some normality to my life! Anyway, I have a card to share with you and I would like to thank Jules from 'Always with a Heart' blog for sharing a card from Whimsy Dreams. I fell in love with the image and decided to purchase it. I coloured it with Promarkers. So here it is...

I used a 7x7 card blank, Neenah card coloured with Promarkers, I'm not sure where the dotted paper came from, sorry, all other paper/card from a big pile of overs. I get all my ribbon from my local haberdashery shop (they are so helpful!) The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, enamel dots from stash and double stitched square die is from eBay.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and those that leave comments are amazing, I love reading them. Have a great weekend.
