Karen's amazing stencilled Birthday card



Good Morning Ladies,  

I had to put my Gilet on when Lucy and I went to local Co-op, I was a bit chilly!   I don't think we will get that September heatwave!  

I fully intended to sit and craft yesterday but I just couldn't settle,  I started re-organising the Pantry,  but had to keep sitting down,  I opened two new bags of flour to top up my Big flour tupperware storage tubs, luckily I looked in as both had those little weevil things in,  ooh it made my skin crawl,  luckily I store the new flour bags on a seprate shelf to the other baking ingredients,  I couldn't see them in anything else,  it was a good job I saw them in the bread flour as I would have struggled to see them in the 'Cotswold Crunch' flower as its full of seeds,   but because I was actually looking for them I spotted them on the inside of the bag!  Bloody things must come in the flour!  


I hope that you all know that you are never alone in anything you go through,  I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such a lovely group of friends ❤️

Today I am sharing the lovely stencilled card that Karen made and personalised for my birthday,  I love it,  the colours are gorgeous,  I love that glossy top layer ....


You  can hopefully see the shiney definition layer on the top of the rose,  it really brings the card to life.   
Thank you so much for such a lovely card, 

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs to all, 
.

    Hello All, drizzle again, which the patio men are finding it difficult laying the slabs.
    Jackie and Jon have just left, always feel a bit down when they are gone.
    Karen what a super card you made for Sandra, the colours work so well. I not seen this stencil and die set.
    Going to set up my new printer which arrived yesterday, my old one finally gave up the ghost. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes well.
    Have a good day all. Lilian

    Lovely card from Karen. Karen the colours you have used are lovely. I am sure I have this Stencil and die somewhere in my stash, i must have a rummage and see if i can find it.
    Lillian I hope you are alright and coping now your daughter has gone home. Im sure she will be back in the near future. Take care.
    Sandra I hate those weevils, i think it’s just the flour they like to live in. I feel itchy just thinking about them.
    Sleep well everyone, love Brenda xxx
