Welcome Little One

Hi all
I know I have not posted anything for a while but life has been busy. 
Our new grand-daughter has arrived. It was quite a turbulent few days leading up to her birth as mum was poorly, but she is here safe and sound and mum is well now. She is 3 weeks old today and absolutely gorgeous. 
So I thought it only appropriate I should share this card with you and of course an adorable picture of her.

She is such a darling

The Make it craft show was back this year at Farnborough I went on Saturday and bought a few goodies. I was very good ( for me) a few more stamps were added to my collections of Honey Doo and Card-io. As I am now crocheting a few balls of wool came home with me too. A few more bits and bobs were added that I needed .. lol.. ok I just liked them. I spent a few hours Sunday having a play. The afternoon just whizzed by .. there never seems enough time.
I hope those of you who live in the UK are enjoying this lovely sunny weather we are experiencing at the moment. It was great to be able to get the washing out on the line at the weekend.
I must go as I need to catch up on the shows I recorded  on Hochanda at the weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Beautiful Day

Hi all

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, shame about the weather, I know the winds caused a lot of damage in some areas.
I have a couple of more days off work so hoping to do some crafting.
I am typing this before I head out to meet a friend for lunch.

 I recently bought this stamp set from Altenew called a Beautiful day.

I absolutely love it.
I have simply embossed the outline flower die in CS white embossing powder and then coloured the flower with my watercolour pencils. I did the same for the leaves and the co-ordinating blossom stamp

 I fussy cut the flower and leaves and arranged them using foam pads.
I stamped the sentiment from the set in the same white embossing powder on to my purple card from my stash.

 I cut this out with Sue Wilson double pierced squares suing both A and B sets.

Enjoy your week.

Pink Lily

Hello Everyone

Another week has gone by. Where does the time go too.
At least the weather is slowly improving.
I was pleasantly surprised when found out I made the top three at Crafting with Dragonflies for a birthday card I made a couple of weeks ago you can see my creation here

For todays card I have used a stamp that I just adore. I purchased it a few years ago at a craft show, I don't know the make of it, but lilies are one of my favourite flowers.

 As spring has started I thought I would use pink for this card.
I stamped the Lily with Black Archival and heat embossed with clear powder.
I then used  my watercolour pencils to colour it in. I added a Wink of Stella in the clear in the centre of the flower to add touch of glitter. I am not sure if you can see it in the pictures.

 I cut the image with Sue Wilson's Classic Adorned die from her Noble range and then used the Ornate Pierce die cut in pink card.

 I finished the card with a ribbon and a flower made from the open Camellia flower from Sue Wilson and added a small clear dazzler which I coloured with a hint of pink with my promarkers.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:
