Good Morning Ladies,
Another Challenge card from me today this one was made with the same stamp set as I used on the Yellow card yesterday, although it looks quite different. I chose the colours Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, it is actually the first time that I have stamped with this ink properly and I love it.
I made a card base out of Highland Heather card and added a matt of Gorgeous Grape and then stamped the middle sized flourish from the Flowering Flourishes Stamp set randomly all over a piece of Whisper White card, which I then divided into three equal strips and set them down with a slight gap.
I stamped my sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Whisper white card and die cut with a Layering Oval die, I cut a scalloped mat out of the same colour card.
To finish my card I added a piece of Gorgeous Grape striped ribbon and ties a knot, I topped that with a Petite Petals flower that I stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto Highland Heather card, punched it out and added some Old Olive foliage behind. A few sparkles placed here and there to add the final finishing touches.
I also made a matching Envelope using the Envelope punch board, I used Whisper White card and the same stamp as I used on the card. I think it looks so nice having a 'matching' envelope.
Sue came yesterday which really made my day, I made us some fresh Leek & potato soup and warmed some bread. After that we both got straight down to some crafting. I made todays card and Sue made a fantastic 'man card ' !! Before we knew it it was 5.30 and Paul was home.
I have a full day in craft room today, as I have a long list of projects to finish.
I hope you have a lovely day ladies ,
Brenda you will be in my thoughts all day xx
Love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSandra-what a gorgeous card, I love everything about it.
Thank you all for for your kind wishes yesterday, as soon as I hear something, I’ll let you know.
We have had a very hard frost with a sprinkling of snow overnight so I’ll need to set off early again. Let’s hope the weather has improved by the time I’m ready to go out this evening.
Michele

Lilian sorry you have to have stronger meds you must be so fed up, hugs on the way.xxx
Lynda hope you have sorted your meds out, good job you noticed.xxx
We should have had embroidery this afternoon but I have cancelled as we could have some more snow & as we are all of an age where getting about is not easy thought it safer, I certainly don't want any more falls.
Sending hugs to all particularly Pat & Pete, hope you all keep warm love Margaret.xxx
Hi Sandra. Love this stamp set and the cards you’ve made with it. Today’s as you know is my favourite colour.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve had a hard frost today and yesterday, but so far no snow. But it is forecast for this evening.
Thanks for all the hugs ladies. They’re very much appreciated.
Val sending you gentle hugs.
Brenda I hope your sisters op goes ok.
Hope the new meds work for you Lilian.
Stay safe everyone as it’s cold out there.
Wow, I’ve just noticed I’m back to comment as Pat S Witney. I hope it works when I press publish. Blogger must have a mind of its own.
Hi Sandra and all in the cafe'
ReplyDeleteA frosty morning here in MK. I watched the sun come up, sat reading in the lounge since 4am and couldn't go back to sleep. Looked in and saw this beautiful card and thought of starting to make my own cc but standing and walking is too painful so it just have to wait which is a bummer.
Brenda- I hope everything goes well for your sister today. Sending you both hugs.
Val-hope you all right. A big hug for you.
Pat- sending many little once for you and Pete. Hope the bed fit well in your home.
Lilian- take care and wish you better days.
Lynda- lucky you saw the change in your meds. hopefully it is now sorted. Big hug for CU and you.
Michele- have a nice evening and hope the snow want be to bad. Drive safe.
Karen hope you not overdo things, make sure you get some Me time. Are you going to the craft fair near you again this February (sorry can't remember the name) saw that Hochanda will be there too this year.
Margaret- take a lot of care if going out. The frost here have made it very slippery on the pavements. Mum got herself some shoe spikes so hopefully she will be ok going out with the dog but you can't go with them where it is not icy so a bit fiddly.
Hope you have a nice day whatever you are doing, many hugs to you all, xxx
Hi Maria
DeleteThanks for the hugs and I hope your feeling better soon. Take care if you have to go out. Yes, we were able to fit the bed in the back bedroom.
Guess what I’m back to commenting as google account. Which means I once again have to prove I’m nit a robot which can take an age.
Yes I am going Kat and a couple of others too I’ll be meeting Nicki there too
DeleteHello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteSandra what a beautiful card, I really love the colours you have used.
Today hasn’t gone as planned, my sister was told early this morning her operation was on hold as there were no ITC beds available. Her doctor was popping in to her room through the morning saying it was still on. By 2.45pm they said it wouldn’t go ahead (it’s a five hour opp) so she is first on the list again tomorrow, her concerns were for the sick people who needed the beds now. She is not getting stressed out at all, I’m sure I would be. Fingers and everything crossed it happens tomorrow. Thank you all for your very supportive messages, they are such a comfort. I think I’m doing the worrying for both of us. xx
Sorry I didn’t get in yesterday, I did get a signal when I was on the train briefly, I started to comment then lost the signal and it was like that all the way to Leicester. I tried again on my return journey, google wanted me to log in and I had forgotten my password (I changed it a few weeks ago) well I couldn’t remember it. Fortunately I did when I got home. But it was late and we hadn’t eaten. Today I look at my iPad and I’m me ..... again!
I have been trying to complete this message since 3pm think I better finish off while it’s quiet. Phone, mobile,text and messenger have all been nonstop!!!
Thank you all once again, love Brenda xxx
Hi Brenda.
DeleteWell once again I’m not me. I do hope your sister gets to have her operation tomorrow. It’s frustrating having to wait after your expecting it on a certain day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Gentle hugs coming your way.
Hello All, well white stuff all afternoon, torrential rain this morning. R just put the bins out and said the pavements are like a bottle, needless to say I shall be staying in doors.
ReplyDeleteSandra lovely card again, you really are on a roll, love the colours, suits the style.
I’ll wish you all a good night, and I really will send my c card tomorrow Sandra.
Take great care my friends if you are going out,
Brenda hope your sister has her opp tomorrow and all goes well.
Sending hugs to all, Lilian
