Good Monday Morning Ladies,
Here we are at the start of another week and as of tomorrow the start of another month, crazy isn't it?
I am hoping to start the new month off in a nice organised Craft Room, it is coming together at last, I know it's dragged on but I wanted to do it properly!
Today's card is absolutely stunning, it's the beautiful gift that I received from Our Brenda for my Birthday, as always Brenda's card came beautifully wrapped in pretty pink glittery organza that was tied with pretty Seam Binding Ribbon and finishes with two of Brenda's gorgeous Hand Rolled Roses. that match the card colours perfectly, I am going to use those Roses as inspiration and sit and practise making those darling roses if I can remember Brenda's tutorial from when we met up in July.
Now onto that stunning card, firstly the background, which looks like Brenda has handmade it, it's such lovely shades of pinks and greens. Brenda has then taken a Cream coloured panel and die cut a gorgeous floral corner out of the panel, so that that gorgeous background can be seen. Brenda has also die cut a floral corner out of the background and used it to embellish the corner, to finish the card Brenda has printed off the greeting and layered it up and added across the centre of the card, the embellishments used to finish the card are some pretty crystal gems in the centres of some of the flowers, that catch the light and twinkle beautifully and the gorgeous spray of Hand rolled Roses.
Brenda, I will treasure this beautiful gift forever, thank you so very much XXX
Oh I forgot to mention on Friday that I won a die on Sue Wilson's Blog, there were some lovely dies in this latest collection and I won the 'Priscilla's Border' Die set, I will share it with all of you when it arrives.
I hope that you all enjoy this last day of September my lovelies, I also would like to wish all of you well, particularly those of you that haven't been around for a few days, I pray that you are all well.
Love and huge squidgy hugs to all of you,
Sandra

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteWell it's not raining this morning so that's a bonus but I've had to put the heating on to warm the house up. It's so cold.
BRENDA- as always your cards are truly amazing and a wonderful gift and this one is no exception.You are a true artist.
This week is going to be manic for me. Jim is on duty toay and Thursday; I have to book the ferry and overnight hotel; sort out my crafting which needs to go to Marigny to fill my stock; collect my prescription (fingers crossed that everything is OK with that); etc etc etc. I can really see crafting taking a back seat this week.
The CAFE is OPEN and I've put the heating on in there too for you all.HUGS are on their way.Have a good day.Take care and stay safe xxxx
Thank you Janet for your lovely comment.
DeleteSounds like you have a very busy week ahead, take care and don’t go overdoing things. Good luck when you collect your prescription. Most of all enjoy getting everything read for Marigny. XX
What a beautiful gift BRENDA It’s gorgeous
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of sorting out your craft room It’ll look amazing when you’re finished
I finished putting together the ribbon holder and it no storage I just need to decide on how to decorate it I did buy a lovely sheet of rice paper at Stamperama it it’s too pretty now for it to be hidden on the back I might just paint it in gesso and then see Or if I’m honest I’ll just leave them as they are!
I am so not looking forward to work but on the bright side I finish at lunchtime
Take care all xx
Karen Thank you for your lovely comment.
DeleteI had the same predicament when I bought my ribbon storage, ended up painting it with a chalk paint. Best of luck xx
