Simple Inked & Tiled card

 


Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,

A chilly day here yesterday,  very cloudy too,  we didn't get any rain though. 

I had one of those 'what to do for the best" moments yesterday,  Lucy asked me to refresh her dress for day 2, she has only worn it once, I checked the label and I says "Dry Clean Only"  so I had think, then decided to put it a a mesh bag I have for delicates, zipped it up and put it on a wool/ delicate wash, I was panicking the whole time it was on there, I have never counted the minutes down to the machine finishing before.  Thank heavens it came out perfect !   

My shoes are sorted!!  I refused to pay £120  for a pair of Phase Eight shoes, I tried so many others but the colour wasn't right,  then I had an Idea,  the girls are always buying and selling stuff on Vinted so I went on to look for the shoes there, I saw the perfect pair with a matching bag,  but the lady was on holiday until this weekend,  so that was a no, I then found another pair and messaged the seller to ask if she could post them so that I get them in time, she agreed and they arrived yesterday, they are just like new and are quite comfortable,  which I would hope for £120 shoes!! Luckily I paid about £25 with postage! 

I will make final decision on my day 2 dress today, fingers crossed something works. 

Today's card is a simple card made using my "Inked & Stamped"  stamp set.  I stamped the flower in Lost Lagoon ink and used a stitched die to cut it out.  I layered it onto matching card and some matching patterned papers. I added some ribbon to the focal piece and added  knot. I couldn't make my mind up where to put the sentiment,  then I remembered I had vertical ones, so used one of those for a change. 

Brenda I'm sorry to hear that you are still in hospital,  it's exhausting being in a six bed bay but the people watching can be entertaining!  Sounds like you have plenty to keep you occupied,  poor John,  he must wonder what on earth is going on, I do think that every time ive been in there has been a "Loopy Lil " character (nutty as a fruitcake)!  Sending you love and gentle hugs my lovely XXX 

I hope that you all have  good day, 

Love & hugs, 

Sandra xxxxxx
