CD Sunday challenge - anything goes #162

 

Hi,

As I write this post,  it’s a little cooler today after the heatwave we have had,  I have been suffering a lot with the heat and this illness, I had a CT scan and waiting for the results plus the results of the biopsy taken when I had the camera down.  I hope everyone enjoyed the heatwave and hopefully there is more summer to come, I hope that was not it and there’s more good weather to enjoy,   This is my birthday weekend and we are going away for a few days,   this fortnight the host is Jocelyn 

For my card this fortnight I used a backing paper from Enchanted Dreams CD by Joanna Sheen,  a sheet from Hunkydory scorable designer pack called Northern Lights,  the X cut winter village die, Creative Expressions Festive Collection Trees,  the trees were cut from a piece of the northern lights card that was left over.  I added some silver glitter and some glitter to the trees and scene,  and a peel off happy Christmas

International lace day ( 22nd June)

 Hi,

I am late posting this but last Sunday on Facebook the lace markers around the world had an international lace day,  I did manger a small piece of tatting,  it’s was a very hot day part of the heat wave we have had in the U.K., 

The heat has really played me up this  year,  perhaps because I am ill but I have travelled and been in heatwaves very much hotter and it’s never worn me out,   The last one was in Turkey with 40 to 45c plus and 39c at night of course the heat is different in Europe to what we have in the U.K.,    this heatwave has totally washed out for a few days,

Anyway here is my little piece of tatting!  It’s a pattern from the Endrucks project that we have been working on,  the rose was reworked E42 by Daniela Galli,  I used Lizbeth thread no 20.  Some that we left on my shuttle.

I am going to make some more roses and try the larger rose pattern. 

I hope you have been enjoying the lovely weather even if it has been very hot.

CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes #161

 Hi,

At the time of writing this post,  the sun is shining but it’s a bit windy,  at least today is dry after a few days of rain.  This fortnight as usual it’s anything goes,  and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn.

For my card this fortnight I used a download from Debbi Moore dating back to September 2020,  I used the matching background and image with th optional extras of the words. The peel off fish and mermaid were from stash.  I matted the image and wording onto blue Miri card from Hunkydory.

Art deco card

 Hi,

It’s a beautiful day here in Somerset, the sun is shining and my bedding is drying,  after the heavy rain showers we had yesterday afternoon and evening,  I know my garden needed the rain but it’s making the weeds grow faster at the moment.  Hopefully I can feel well enough to do some weeding this week.

This is an art deco card I finished this week, although it did sit on my desk for over a week,  I was in hospital for a few hours during the week,  they have found some thing wrong and I am waiting fir tge results of the many biopsy’s that were taken,  I am back in hospital this week for a CT scan 

Back to my card,   it’s using up some pieces left form the art deco cards I made a few weeks ago using Debbi Moore Art deco Romance CD,  I added a red bow to the side,  the images were all matted onto gold Hunkydory  Miri card,  

Have a lovely weekend

CD Sunday challenge - anything goes #160

 Hi,

June already nearly half way through the year,  as usual it’s time for CD Sunday Challenge and this fortnight I am hosting 

My card I made for this challenge,  is a little different,  I used Flower  Fairies Friends CD by Crafter Companion,  instead of stacking the images I placed them on silver card in a sort of circle,  cutting the silver card around them.  I used the backing paper that went with the images,  the embellishments that were with the images I used cutting them and then placing them on a lilac colour  feather,  added one of the butterflies and put silver ribbon down the side.

CD Sunday Plus challenge has a Facebook page for those who would like to enter the challenge and do not have a blog,   here is a link to the page the challenge and do not have a blog,

Art Deco cards

 Hi,

After the beautiful weather we have been having,  the weather has decided to give us showers,  my garden like thousands of others were crying out for rain,  of course the weeds will enjoy growing faster,  I have been working on some Art Deco cards, for my esty shop,  but first of all the card above was a competition card for Debbi Moore’s birthday competition.

I did also put this car in the competition,  this is a more of a simpler card,

This is was a colour I don’t usually use but I am very pleased how it worked out.  This has a blue spray of flowers and a white feather and blue and white roses o and blue ribbon.

This is the final one,  again I did a spray of red roses and buds with a red feather and ribbons

All cards were made with Debbi Moore Art Deco Romance CD background papers and images, with feathers and roses plus ribbon came from stash.

Have a good week

Margaret
