Pretty Bouquet

Evening friend bloggers
Hope you are all well

As I said on my last post "Nice weather for ducks". Well I think they have probably drowned!!! Could we have much more torrential rain? 

I was going to put this post on on Sunday, but I am getting withdrawal symptoms and just had to put this card on tonight.  It is another LOTV image called Pretty Bouquet.

The card blank is from Craftwork Cards. The papers are called "With this ring" and are availalbe from Nitwit Collections. The die cut border which I love and is suitable for so many cards is called "Cherish border" and is available from

Oyster Stamps. 

 The flowers and the hat pin are from WOC. The sentiments are also from LOTV - they are so useful and are another of my favourite buys. I have coloured the image with Pro Markers and Polychromo pencils. The ribbon is from my own stash. 

A compilation.

I have entered this card in the following challenges.

Thats all for now friends. Will be back soon.

Best Dress

Evening friend bloggers

As I said last night the card I posted tonight would be decided by the postman. If Mr postman had been kind it would be a LOTV card - if not a Saturated Canary card (not that I prefer one against the other, it's just so exciting to ink up a new stamp). Well...this morning I started colouring in my Saturated Canary image, when the postie arrived. Now did I finish the Saturated Canary image or did I start afresh with a LOTV image?

Todays post is....

Best Dress by

LOTV

I just love this image. Wonder what her best dress will look like when she has had her jelly and ice cream? I have coloured her with Copic Markers and polychromo pencils. The papers are from Nitwit Collections. One day I will surprise you with papers from a different company but I find which ever colour you want to colour an image in - Nitwits have a matching paper. 

The flowers are from WOC crafts as are the hat pins and metal embellishment. I did say I was going to emboss the metal corner today but didn't get round to it. The butterfly and die are Memory Box and are available from Oyster Stamps.

The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and the die is Memory Box and is available from Oyster Stamps.

Never too old for a hug

 'Never too old for a hug'

Evening bloggers. 

Another very busy day at work today - just about sold out of bbq's and patio sets. It would be nice to enjoy this lovely weather with some friends but our garden needs to have some time and effort put into it as at the moment it is rather overgrown. I have put a notice in our front garden saying "pick your own weeds" but nobody has come forward yet. Actually, Sophie's (our daughter) boyfriend is a landscape gardener but he is not taking the hint when I say he needs to build up a portfolio and our garden would be ideal!!!

I think my cat Lara is wanting to be part of my blog. I was finishing a card this evening and I found Lara sat in my light box.

I have another card using LOTV stamp "Never too old for a hug". It is brighter than my usual cards but I loved the pinks and greens so I thought I would give it a go. I am pleased with the results though I cant decide whether I like the bright green ribbon. I think maybe it would be better using a white ribbon. What do you think?

Never too old for a hug

Evening bloggers.

Could this be the start of summer?  I am not a sun worshipper but it does make you feel better when the sun is shining - no doubt the air will smell of bbq's this evening. Are there any eurovision song contest fans out there? I dare say there may be more people watching the football. 

Todays card is another from  LOTV. I do love their stamps.

Never too old for a hug

I love this image and the sentiment is so true. I haven't added many embellishments to this card because as I was trying different layouts it seemed to me that less is more. The 'never too old for a hug' image has been coloured with Copic markers and her wings have been dusted with diamond sparkles.  I have used an embossed card from Craftwork Cards. The cherish border die is a memory box die which available from Oyster Stamps and the flowers are available from WOC.

Milly just for you

Good evening bloggers.

Having a relaxing couple of hours after a 12hr shift at work...my poor feet. I work in Asda in the Home and Leisure dept and the demand for patio sets and barbecue goods has been non stop. I have had a problem with photoscape this evening and have been on web sites trying to find the solution for at least an hour before asking Russ for help. Hate to say it but he sorted it in five mins...Smart arse!!!

I have another LOTV card this evening

Milly Just for You

This is another stamp I purchased from the LOTV masterclass in colouring. I used a combination of copic markers and polychromo pencils to colour Milly and the flower. 

The Die is a by Memory Box called Catalina Wreath which I purchased from Oyster Stamps. The flowers, hat pin and corner embellie are all from WOC

I will be back again tomorrow evening hopefully. I originaly said I would perhaps not be able to post every day but I have a few cards already made which I will post in the next few days.

Night to all
