Good afternoon to all you lovely followers and friends. I've been trying to do this post for a few days but just been busy and have not taken the time to sit down and do it. I've been out today did some appeals for the LA this morning and had my annual coeliac check up at hospital this afternoon. Good news though I don't have to go back to hospital for my checks anymore consultant is writing to ask my GP to do them in the future as everything is going well.
Anyway back to my post this is another stamp I bought from LOTV last year called Blossom and hadn't used. She is so cute and I did the card in lilacs one of my favourite card colours. I painted the image at my craft group two weeks ago when the theme for that week was stamping and colouring. I used watercolour inks to paint the image only because it was easier to take them along rather than all my Promarkers and Copics as I have quite a few!!

I'm doing well with my stamps I've not used but still have a few more!! I'm sure if I decide to give up there is always next year. I have managed to get a few cards made recently so hopefully might be able to put a few more posts on soon.
I'm entering this card in Crafty Little Fairies Challenge which is Lavender and Lace.http://craftylittlefairieschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
I've noticed a lot of the challenges are love themes at the moment with Valentine's Day coming shortly. I'll have to try and get my Romantic Head on and you never know I might even have a love stamp I've never used !!
Enjoy the week what ever you are planning but hope it includes lots of crafting and the things you love doing. Take care and keep warm.

Gorgeous card Carole. Really cute image, beautifully painted. I love all the embellies especially the ribbon bow through the buckle, that must have been a bit of a fiddle! Good luck in the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI glad your app. went well. My mum was a coeliac. My Aunty, her daughter and her daughters are as well! So I know what a challenge it can be as they put gluten in the silliest of things.
Carry on your fabulous crafting, Debra x
Hi Carole well this card is another stunner, really pretty. My mam was a coeliac and I'm glad your appointment went well. Tomorrow I'm going to go through all my LOTV stamps just so I don't buy one's I already have when I go to the NEC in March LOL lots of huggles Sue xx
