Hi and another good morning to my wonderful talented followers
and visitors.
I hope you had a brilliant day yesterday, and managed to
combine some craft into your day.
I heard on the grape vine that some of you had better weather.
The weather here was quite mild dry and some sunshine.
THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments.
I really do appreciate every one.
I went to a coffee morning yesterday in aid of the McMillan Nurses.
There were lots of yummy cakes tea and coffee.
I put on a stone just looking at them. lol.
My card today is one I have just finished.
I bought this image because the little girl on the tree was
called Faye and that is the name of my Great Granddaughter
so you can see why I had to buy the image.
Funnily enough the image is just like my little Faye.
I hope you like it.
Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.
Now inside view of the card.
I made this 8x8 card out of an A3 white card stock.
I matted it with blue card stock and some Christmas paper
inside.
The front I used white card with a Spellbinders Grand Labels
aperture cut out.
I then distressed it with Milled Lavender Distress Ink, and
stamped snowflakes with same ink.
I added my coloured image done with Promarkers.
Then I added some Venetian Accents cut up to the edges of
the aperture and corners.
I punched out some snowflakes in contrasting colours, and
finished it off with a big lace bow.
I have been asked how I do my bows, well I use the
Crafterscompanion Ultimate Pro purple case, and I follow
the instructions given by Sara on C and C when she
demonstrates it.
Basically you get a length of ribbon bring it round the pegs
cross it over in the front take it back round the back of the
pegs and do the same a third time.
This gives you a lovely big bow.
I hope that makes sense to you my description.
Thank you again for sparing the time to visit me and leave
your comments.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and the weather was
sunny, where ever you live.
THANK YOU for all your support and lovely comments.
I really do appreciate every comment made.
It is very nice of you to spare your precious time to visit me.
I was on Planet Suzy's blog last night and she had a lovely
photo of a wood pigeon in her bird bath, so I got to thinking.
I know some say that thinking is bad for you. lol.
In any rate I took a picture of a Dragon Fly in my gareden
about a year ago.
It perched on my plastic greenhouse for such a long time so
I quickly got my camera and photographed it.
Here is the picture.
Now to my card today it's a Get Well Card for a lady in my
Tuesday Club that fell and broke her ankle.
The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 card blank.
Matted with gold mirri and distressed with Tattered Rose
distress ink to make the white card peach colour and to
take the shine off the mirri a little.
I used the Cupcakecrafting CD Floral Delights for the
background paper and the inside. I also stamped my tulip
in similar paper form the CD.
The tulip stamp is from Stamps by Chloe at
www.chloescreativecards.co.uk
I then used my Grand Label Die for the aperture.
I also cut a butterfly out of my Spellbinders Die and
added some stones.
A large messy bow with seam binding ribbon that I dyed
with the Tattered Rose ink, and of course my sentiment in
the middle of the Lacy Circle Die and the Parisian Motifs
Die.
I hope you like my card today.
Thank you again for visiting me.
Have a wonderful crafty Monday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
