Turquoise and Lilac card

Hi friends, hope all is well in your world today! Wow I see we are into October already, how did that happen so quickly ?   It's also world card making day whoo hoo so what better day to show you a card. It's a colour theme over at 'Less is More' this week and.....   Turquoise and Lilac     That sounds like a great colour combo to me, anyway here's what I made, come and have  a quick peek ;)   Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned and come back on Tuesday (4th) to see the card  I  made for the start of  'The Flower Challenge'  blog ;).....so excited!!!! ;)

ps. Our visitors are gone now but still busy! our son is coming tomorrow with his family.  Then we are helping our other soon move  house. They were let down with one they  wanted to buy at the very last minute. So will move anyway but rent a while so they can  look again.

  I used these 'shape' stamps with some distress inks. I overstamped that with flower stem stamps. Then used a coloured pen to add deeper coloured  stamens and stems. I added water for a 'watery' look and a few flicks of paint. Then some Diamond dust for a crushed glass effect ;)

Turquoise Thanks card

Good evening friends, been busy with family today but just popping in to show you my 'Less is More' card I quickly managed to  make tonight.     It's  a lucky dip this week and we have to use

'Designer Paper in  a CAS style'

I found this piece of scrap paper, I think it's some Pink Petticoat digi paper I printed out  a while ago. Anyway this is what I came up  with. Enjoy your weekend whatever you  have planned.


ps. I made this mahoosive pie today for our family gathering,I served it with various fancy salads  and am pleased to say it went down a treat too.  It's a Jamie Oliver recipe, link here if you fancy it.     However it did take me 3 1/2 hrs to make it  so I don't think I will be doing it again anytime soon lol !! I took a quick photo as they cut into it to show you, it's called a picnic pie and would  be ideal for that I think.

Two of our children also took a photo as they  couldn't believe just how big it was...... about 9"x 6" !

I was washing a sharp cutting  blade from my mixing/cutting food machine.       Say no more......but ouch, blood , panic!!,  trying to type isn't easy today. I will try and  leave you all comments but if I don't that's  why...sorry ;(

Winter Wishes card

Hi friends, here is my latest card for the 'Less is More' challenge this week.     The theme is a colour one this time, (see the picture below my card). They want us to  take inspiration from this beautiful Design  Seeds picture.     What lovely colours, trust me to have used that  colour last week too......why does that always  happen  ;)       Anyway here is my card, come and have a  closer look........well after my usual ps. that is!


ps. I am late posting my card this time as I have  been busy getting the house ready for Christmas etc. We decided on a smaller tree which will go on top  of a lovely antique table we have.      With three grandchildren under 3 I thought it best  lol.It's up now and all the decorations too whoo hoo!
      We had  them all over at the weekend so  hence I am  playing catch up once again!        All presents bought now at least just got to wrap them all.  Christmas cards finished  too just got to address those now .....and relax!      Our son has sold his house again ( last sale fell through) and they have found another house (even nicer than the  last one they wanted too).        Fingers crossed it all goes to plan now. Then we can  move nearer to them next year we  are hoping. I also  hope  to have some other good news to tell you very  soon  ;)        

I used Glamour dust on the first two letters, the ink is shades of blue and turquoise.

Regency Anniversary card

Hi everyone, such a hot day here today, I saw 29c in the car earlier and it's still 25c now.     We had a lovely day at the beach, and even had a small ice-cream and fresh strawberries too.     Shhh we are on a 'fast' day today (5.2 diet) so don't tell !     Anyway I am just popping in to show you this  Anniversary card I made.     I gave it to my nephew to give to his wife for their  Anniversary. I thought it matched the Aquamarine jewellery I made for her too.     Enough waffle, here it is, hope you like it  :)     It's a digital design by the Clipart fairy btw.        

  I printed a matching insert and also made some matching flowers as you can see here.      

Turquoise flower card

Just a quick post to show you another ‘Less is More’ card

I made. The theme is ‘Shadow stamping’ and it has to be

a ‘one layer’ card also.

I had a few tries at the ‘shadow’, first in white, then in

turquoise, then in white again. Still too faint the shadow so

 then in blue, then in white again and I embossed it. What a

palaver lol. Leaving it at that.......at least you can see the

 shadow now!

Enjoy your week everyone :)
