Faith Hope and Mad Love
Good afternoon friends, I hope you are all
having a lovely day! Over at 'Less is More'
the challenge this week is to make a
'one layer' card and the theme is.....
'Include a Stem'
This is what I came up with, been dying to
use this new stamp for ages. Oh the shame!
Yes it has been sitting on my desk for a
while now, with others just looking at me.
I pick it up, look at it, then put it down again.
Sound familiar lol !
Anyway I decided I just MUST use it today.
So here is my card ;) I tried a few 'stampings'
which didn't look right at all......answered
a telephone call from DD.... almost burnt
the lunch too as I had lost track by now!!!
My wrist is swollen and I am having to wear
a support atm. Not easy typing or card making
grrr!
Anyway I tried again and decided
watercolouring was the way to go. Happy
days! I used pink and purple shades on the
flower....hard to see now though!
A quick sentiment.....well it turns out NOT
that quick as I tried several inks and
sentiments until I was happy....and relax ;)
ps. It's our Anniversary today btw., 45 yrs.
so it's a 'Sapphire' one too. My engagement
ring is a sapphire (& diamonds). I already
have matching earrings and a necklace.
But by chance I saw this beautiful sparkly
very fitted lace 'sapphire' coloured dress.
My lovely OH bought me it...and a coat
( not matching just a fab beige raincoat I
also fell in love with.)
A whole lot of other stuff that day too, I am
so spoiled! Lots of craft 'stuff ' fell in my
basket recently.....well you know how
THAT happens I am sure !
Not been very well recently so we are going
away later in the year to celebrate properly.
We still have a spa day from our children to
take also sometime. I am so blessed ;)
Right enough 'waffling' come and have a peek
at my card ! do enjoy your weekend whatever
you have planned ;)
