Another fortnight and another challenge from CD Sunday, this fortnight the challenge is hosted by Meg
My card this fortnight is an image from Opulence by design, this is a Facebook designer group but they also have a web site, I matted the image onto Hunkydory gold Miri board, I used a sheet of hunkydory scorable card with a gold design on it. I also used in gold x-cut butterfly die, cut in green and gold small floral spray by Apple Blossom added some pearls and a rich yellow bow. The photo does not do this card justice as the gold is to shiny.

Happy Valentine’s Day, it’s a cold day, and has been been very cold all week, with no sign of the sun,
This heart pattern has been sitting on my to do list for a while, so what better time to take a few minutes to tat it for Valentine’s Day, I used Lizbeth thread no 20 Christmas red. The pattern is called accidental heart and is a pattern adaptation by Natalie Rogers. The original pattern can be found in Priscilla Yoke Book by Georgette Batt
I hope you have a lovely love day with whoever,
Margaret
Today is another cold day and at present we have sleet / rain, yesterday we had fog all day and very cold.
Yesterday I finished the last square for December, I will have to do a few squares for January which is fin as I started last year in mid January, I also missed a day in May silly me did 30 days instead of 31.
So to finish the strip I will be doing the first few days of January, I still have the year to tat on and finish sewing in some ends. And then do a border.
I was asked and I did reply on the last post about the beads, the beads have letters on and represent things during the year such as birthdays, wedding anniversary, holidays, Easter and Christmas,
Hope you are having a lovely day

It’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday challenge, this fortnight Pamela is the host.
For my card this fortnight, I used a free download from craftsuprint.com, I used a backing sheet from stock, and put the image of the cat, which I decoupaged with several layers, I used peel offs in gold around the image and then the same corners on the white part of the card, matching them up with those around the image. The sentiment came with the image which I thought I was very apt, “hope your day is purrtfect”
