Birthday Tulips

 Morning- I have made this card design before in a different colourway-here but looking back think I preferred the first one lol- but liked the design and the beautiful tulip stamp so made another one for some ones birthday. Tulip stamp is from Sweet Poppy, stamped three times and coloured with promarkers, I then stamped the flower heads again for depth, die-cut frame from Spellbinders and papers are from Crafters Companion. Ribbon from stash and sentiment stamp from Penny Black.

Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer  

The next blow we have been dealt-Millie (15yrs)who never leaves our garden has not been seen for three days. We have searched the house/garden from top to bottom and asked neighbours-not a sign so we presume she has found somewhere quiet to die, she has been deteriorating since John died- whilst I have been writing this Helen just shouted she has seen her-near Johns stone but then vanished so she has obviously come back to be with him in spirit as she was in life-bless her but I do miss her already.

Happy birthday and Football

 Morning and WOW halfway through another month and time for our new challenge at Sparkles Monthly and Dawn is asking for a Kids Card this month. My Grandsons are 10 and 13 and both in football teams but have used these dies before for them  I used a die-cut set I bought from someone on a  decluttering site a couple of years ago and there was no packaging, The smooshed background was a premade piece in scrap drawer just had to cut a couple of inches off the bottom and the sentiment is a Penny Black stamp. One top is coloured with a promarker and the other cut from a scrap of Stampin Up p, paper, the cup was cut from silver mirri card  and you wouldn't believe how many pics it took!!! This is the best to show the silver but unfortunately the rest of the colours look washed out!!!

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments yesterday-really much appreciated.❤️

Black and White Birthday

 Morning and we have a new ATG/Black and White challenge at A Place to Start. I found a ready  stamped image  from AALL&Create and two last scraps of black and white paper been in the box for years and think I received them in a card swap, a Tonic die-cut sentiment and done.

Been absent this week so hope to catch up with you all soon, and thank you to those who messaged asking if I was okay-really appreciate it and for the beautiful wool and card Janette.

Nature/Text Tag

 Morning , I have made a tag out of things in my drawer, the only thing I had to do was cut the tag with dies from The Works I believe, scrap of paper from Crafters Companion, just enough to cut the tag-perfect! The paper had the perfect banner shape at the top to stamp a sentiment from an AALL&Create set, the sentiment from Pickled Pear was stamped onto a Crafters Companion Die and the ribbon I have had for years from Crafty Ribbons. Perfect for a plant or flowers  gift.

Take Me to the Ocean

Morning I have made an ATC using a stamp set I bought from a decluttering site when I was on FB so no idea whose they are so if anyone recognises them please let me know-I love this set. I used the lighthouse stamp and the sentiment stamp. I stamped straight onto a piece of p. paper from CraftOclock and DI round the edges.
