Pretty Purple

Hope you are all staying safe and healthy!

I fancied to use some vellum for a change. 

I hadn't realized just how much I had......a whole drawer full!!

So I used it for the stamped flowers, which are from 

Honey Doo and used Wow white embossing powder.

Coloured on the back of the flowers and leaves with Copics.

The background on the left is also vellum,

 that I had stamped many years ago, using Stazon ink!!!

In fact I had loads of A4 pieces stamped with 

different colours and stamps! Ooops!!

I hope this is all going to go away before the Summer. 

My son is getting married on the 4th September and

we don't want to have that date changed.

I was trying to get down to a size 12 before then, but

I am not getting the exercise I should be!!

So I might have to stick with being size 14!!Lol!!

Well enjoy the sunshine while it is with us.

Big hugs,

Carol

Oval not Square!

Black and white again....I know,

but I made this before the clock!!

My friend saw it half made on my desk and asked me if  I had a 

clock made like the box. 

So I made her one to take home!!

The flowers are the same Honey Doo stamps and had been 

Triple Embossed with Utee. 

The butterflies are an old Spellbinders die.

Hope you are not too bored but cards will be back next.

I am remaking old cards not sold into new ones!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for 

taking the time to leave me a message.

They are the best thing about blogging!

A guaranteed smile maker.

Big hugs,

Carol

It's Time!

Another quick post!

Just to show that I have been busy!!

I had a friend here for a few days and she saw a box I was constructing.

She said she would love a clock like the box.

So I made this one for her!

She cut out the butterflies for me, using my Nestabilities dies. 

So she can say she helped in the making of it!Lol!!

She didn't see it finished until this morning. 

Fortunately she loved it!

The flowers I used are Honey Doo Crafts - Little Lilies and Leaves stamps.

Brilliant stamps and I have quite a few of them.

I just stamped them and then glazed them with Versamark Ink

and Ultra Thick Embossing powder. Each flower had 3 coats.

They now look more like Porcelain.

Another grey day here in Suffolk, so picture not brilliant.

My friend is on her 3 hour drive home as I am writing this.

We are waiting for a call from another friend, who

we took to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital last week.

We have to pick him up and take him home to Beccles,

hopefully this afternoon.

The hospital is enormous, so hope we can find him.

The queue to get into the hospital when we left before, was

over a mile long!!  It's takes an hour to get there, 

so don't want to sit in a queue too!!

Thanks for visiting my blog and thank you for your

lovely messages you leave.

They always make me smile.

Hugs,

Carol
