Older Poppy Cards

Good Thursday Morning Ladies,

We had more of a mixed day yesterday, we were still blesses with a good amount of sunshine though,  which always makes a difference to the day,  Lucy and I run a few errands, we took their documents to the doctors surgery to get them registered, while we were there we discovered that the chap that gave us our forms to fill in on Friday only gave us a 10th of the paperwork, so Lucy and I sat for 40 minutes or more filling out all of the forms, it would be easier to tell you what they didn't want to know!!  While we were waiting for the girls documents to be copied a lady came in with her 'carer', she was so incredibly rude to the pharmacist, apparently her prescription hadn't gone through at the local pharmacy, she wanted the 'incompetent fool' that hadn't done their job properly sacked right away, the pharmacist was trying to explain to her that it was because she needed to attend a medication review but she just wasn't listening, she had a carer with her and you could see that she just wanted the ground to open up an swallow her, she was so embarrassed, the woman was still shouting at her when they got back to her car!  I think the pharmacist deserved a medal for staying calm.  Why do people think it's okay to be rude.

After a busy day out I totally ran out of time to make a card so I have shared two cards that I made back in June 2015, blimey that's 8 years ago!  The stamp is an Inkyliscious stamp.

Here are the descriptions: 

Onto todays cards, I used the Inkyliscious Poppy Stamp, I stamped it up with Versafine Black Ink and stamped onto white card, I cut out using the outside edge of my Quilted Squares Die by Creative Expressions, it fit this stamp perfectly, I mounted it onto black card and then matt and layered finishing with a white base card made to fit the image and matts, (its a good idea to add an extra layer

of card on the back of the card to balance the weight of the 5 layers on the front)! I added a piece of black satin ribbon around the bottom of the card and tied another piece onto it to form a knot, I then stamped a 'thank you' stamp onto a piece of white card and matted it onto a piece of black and cut it into a 'flag forked' end, I then just tucked this under the ribbon.

The second card was made in pretty much the same manner apart from colouring the stamp with Tim Holtz Distress markers, Barn Door and Mowed Lawn, I then huffed on the stamp to refresh the ink and stamped onto white card, I matted it onto red card this time and tied the green part of the image in with the ribbon. I have stamped the thank you onto the inside of this card as it just seemed to obstruct the gorgeous image on the front!

I hope that you all have a great Thursday and that you all stay safe from storm Ciaran,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
