Good afternoon to all my lovely friends and followers. Firstly I want to welcome Mag's my latest follower to my Blog. I hope that you enjoy looking at my posts.
My card today is the card I made for my husbands birthday yesterday. I've used a Michael Powell stamp I picked up in a sale a while ago and this is the first time I've used it. It seemed strange doing something that's not Christmas colours and so I decided on some pale pastel colours.

Michael loved this card and he had a good birthday we had anice meal out last night at one of our favourite restaurants Café Lilli.
It was tinged with great sadness as our best friend Ed who has been ill for a long time sadly died yesterday afternoon My thoughts at this time are with Val and her family
This card has got me back into craft mode again so hopefully I will have some more posts soon.
Enjoy the rest of the week whatever you have planned and I hope you can all make time for the things you love to do.

Brilliant card Carole. I love the colour palette you've used and the layout and embellishments are great especially the little seagull. It's funny that I used the same stamp to make a card for a commission I had to make just before Christmas but it was wanted in primary colours.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Michael managed to have a nice birthday despite the sad loss of your best friend, my thoughts are with you both and his family. Sending you a hug Debra x
