Hi everybody.  First of all I want to say Welcome to my new followers and thank you to all my followers for taking the time to look in.  My card today is just a simple card for my sister's wedding anniversary which will be on Sunday  - but I know that she does not read my blog so it is safe to show it.  It is very simply done with a Spellbinders die and a Cheery Lynn doily die, some ribbon and a few flowers and pearls.
Thank you again for looking in.

                                                   

Finally

Hi everybody.  First of all I want to say a huge thank you to all the marvellous bloggers who leave me such very kind comments.  I appreciate all of them.  I would also like to say thank you to the people who sent me messages and e-mails to see if I was ok since I had not been posting any cards.  I had a few commissions to do that I could not post and also - as happens -  life gets difficult at times.  However we have had a few days sunshine and it has been warmer so that cheers everone up.

My card today is a Marianne die and the backing paper is a snippet which was on my desk from a sheet I had used earlier.  It is from Pink Petticoat.  The digi stamp is one which was in my folder and I had printed it onto a Spellbinders diecut.  The pearls are from Wild Orchid and the gorgeous ribbon was a gift from my very generous friend Jacqui   http://jacquibourne7.blogspot.co.uk  - if there is actually anybody out there who has not seen Jacqui's work - you really should take a look - she makes the most gorgeous cards.

                                           

                               

                                       
                                 Thank you for taking a look.

                                 

Little Princess

Hi everybody.  Such an unsettled day .  One minute it is bright and breezy and the next minute it is raining and  miserable.  A great excuse to stay indoors and play with paper.  This image that I have put on the card today is another that I have had for such a long time - so unfortunately I have no idea where it came from.  The oval die is Spellbinders and the corners are Noor design.  Thank you for taking a look.


                                                       

Flowers

Hi everybody.  Thank you all so much for your very kind comments on my last card and my attempt at colouring.  My card today again is another that I coloured.  It was a free digi that I got somewhere on the internet a long time ago and has just been lying in a folder.  The background paper is Pink Petticoat and the die is spellbinders enchanted rectangles 28.  I have to say a huge Thank You to my good friend Jacqui   http://jacquibourne7.blogspot.co.uk/  who sent me a whole packet of Rymans paper to use for printing out papers and for stamping on.  It is so smooth - really fantastic.   Thank you again Jacqui.

Thank you all for taking a look.

                                                 
                                                         

                                               

I'm still trying

Hi everybody and a very warm welcome to my new followers.  I am still trying to colour images but I'm afraid this does not come naturally to me.  I am not artistic by nature so there is a long road ahead of me yet.    I have been practicing on this image but I am afraid that I have it so long that I have no idea where it came from.  Thank you for taking a look.

                                         

More colouring

Good morning everybody.  It is a lovely day here - I hope it lasts.  I  am trying to practice my colouring and so this image appears again so soon.  I do find colouring difficult but I am determined to persevere at it.  I do not know the name of the stamp but I think it is Elizabeth Bell.  I have coloured with promarkers and the die is of course Spellbinders some ribbon from my stash and baby's breath from Wild Orchid.  Thank you for taking a look.

                                           

                                             

My new dies

Hi everybody.  Got some new dies and of course had to have a play.  They are so ornate I wanted to keep the embellishments to a minimum.   The dies are Spellbinders enchanted labels 28 and they cut very easily even though I am using centura pearl card.  I only added some baby's breath from Wild Orchid and a few pearls from my stash.

Thank you for taking a look.
