The last of my Easter Cards

 

 

Happy Easter everyone hope you are enjoying the day.. It was a bit rotten losing an hours sleep so will need an early night tonight to recover. This is the Easter card I made for my very best friends Val and Ed. It was something I did at one of my craft classes I do enjoy parchment craft but it is very time consuming and I am by no means an expert.

Easter card for Fiona and Martin

This is the Easter card I have given to  Fiona and Martin my Son and Daughter in Law. I made the quilled design at my Craft Group a few weeks ago and finished it while we were on  holiday at the cottage in the Peak District. It is a lovely Easter Design even though it takes ages to  complete. The corners are very effective. I gave it to them when they visited last weekend and they loved it.

Quilled Trinket Box

Hi everyone this is the trinket box I started at my Craft Group yesterday. Thanks to Hazel and Carol I can now achieve these quilled images they taught me everything I can now achieve. I'm sure in time this box will hold some treasure for some special person.
I'm off to the GNPE at Harrogate tomorrow with my Craft friends so hope its not too crowded and there are lots of bargains to be had.
I hope you all enjoy and support Comic Relief tonight such a good cause its dear to me as a few years ago my Contact Centre took some of the calls. It was a night to remember hard work but great fun.  I think my friends Barbara and Lorna still count pledges in  their sleep!! Enjoy the rest of the evening and as always hope you enjoy looking at my Blog.

My first attempt at colouring with water colour inks

 

Hi everyone sorry I haven't posted for a few days but been away in the Peak District on a holiday. Its very cold here today for Mothers Day and we have had some snow flurries. I made this card a couple of weeks ago my first go at colouring with water colour inks.  I'm reasonable pleased but need a bit more practise with the face colours however the image is very cute and I love the colour scheme.
