CD Sunday Challenge, - anything goes # 111

Hi,

Nearly to half a year,  this year is going faster then ever,   its time for another challenge at CD Sunday, and as usual its anything goes,

For my card this fortnight  I have used Pollyanna Pickering Sketch book Collection chapter IV woodland birds.  We have a friend who is 80 on the 1st June,  and I know he likes wild birds so I used the images of a Kingfisher,  I used two different sheets of backing paper,  mattered the image on silver bushed card by Hunydory,  added silver peel offs around the image and sides of the backing paper and peel off  words,.

May Tatted Snowflakes

 Hi

What a beautiful day here in Somerset and it looks like next week will be just as good with possibly no rain.

On Facebook their is a challenge to make a snowflake every month,  well these are my May snowflakes,  this month I used a pattern by Be-stitched called Tatted ice snowflakes,  I used Lizbeth thread no 20 in white 

I hope you are enjoying the weather

April Snowflakes

 Hi,

I am a bit late with the April snowflakes,  this is a challenge on Facebook for doing a monthly snowflake, I was  doing the cross stitch panel which I showed last week meant I could not do both at the same time,

These two snowflakes are a pattern by Diane,  from 2013 called Snowflake no 3,  The plain white one is the original pattern with longer chains,   and the beaded one I added beads in the chain instead of the JK rings and beads at the top of the central ring.  I do love this snowflake, although my chains look a little out os shape,  but snowflakes are not always prefect.

I used Lizbeth thread No 20 in white. and blue seed beads.

Ps sorry I forgot to put the picture on,  which I have now done so.

Hi,

it’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday as usual it’s anything goes, and our host this fortnight is Carol.

This is card for the new grandmother which is my sister in law which goes with the baby card I did for the last challenge.  I used Cuddly companions dimensional CD by Debbi Moore.  I used the image and matching backing paper,  I layered the image several times,  added the ribbon strip that went with the image and added a white bow and gold peel off wording.

King Charles 111, coat of Arms

 Hi,

This is King Charles 111, coat of arms, which I did in cross stitch,  from the magazine Cross Stitcher May issue,   I used 12 colours in all,  plus the gold and silver thread,  

I finished it watching the actual coronation yesterday,  history repeated itself as it was a wet day for our late Queens coronation 70 years ago.  He is the oldest reining monarch ever to be crowned,  at the age of 75 year old,  I doubt he will have a long rein.  We will not see another Queen for a very long time,  as William is next in line to the throne.

This weekend is a bank holiday,  but the weather so far has been anything but good,  and the forecast is not good for the rest of the weekend.

Have a lovely weekend,

Margaret 

Blogger

 Hi,

Have you checked your spam folder on your blog recently,  nearly every day for the past fortnight I have at least six or seven, even more spam comments,  I have checked them out,  usually they are two words like “very pretty”,  or even “merry Christmas”,    But they are old comments I mean old dating back to 2014 or even earlier,  they were published under the dates quoted,  they are all regular contributors to my blog. But suddenly they are popping back up as marked spam,  

I don’t know if it’s just my blog,  or what’s going on,  but blogger is slowing driving me potty

CD Sunday challenge # 109 - Anything goes

 

Hi,

Here we are at the end of April and the coronation of King Charles the third will be at the beginning of May,  but before that we have another challenge at CD Sunday,  this fortnight our host will be Jocelyn.

For my card this fortnight,  we had a new baby born into the family and I made this card for her,  I used a download from tatted lace magazine no 65,  I cut a circle out of the card and used the backing sheet that went with the elephant.  I cut two elephants one placed on the card and then the other I decoupaged.  I added a die of baby girl die this came from the advert calendar I brought a few years ago from tatted lace, I thought they were very small for the amount of money charged for the advent calendar.  I made a white ribbon bow and attached to the card
