Summer Days....

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a fabulous weekend! I'm sure if you're here in the UK you'll have been enjoying this amazing heatwave we've been having - I can't remember it being this hot for years! (And I have the sunburn to prove it lol!) I adore our seasons, but I'm a summer kinda gal and I'd be happy if it stayed like this until September... ok, pigs might fly but it's nice to dream!

As much as I love making cards, this card is one that I never like making - a sympathy card for a dear friend. I kept it very simple, just enough I hope, to let him know he was in my thoughts and prayers.



Recipe: (All Papertrey Ink)

Stamps - With Sympathy/Mega Mixed Messages
Card - Vintage Cream/Plum Pudding
Ink - Ripe Avocado/Plum Pudding/True Black
Ribbon - Ripe Avocado

Time for me to go to bed - good night all!

With sympathy

This was made for a friend of my mum's whose mother recently passed away; I wanted to stay away from the traditional purple sympathy colours so reached for the (retired) Le Jardin papers and used So Saffron/Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip for the colour scheme.

I used the Stampin Up markers to colour the flowers and also to ink up the sentiment in 2 separate colours.

Other - nestabilities/cuttlebug/crafter's tool kit/button/embriodery floss/Always Artichoke ribbon


I also wanted to share a photo of one of my cats, Ella, today - it's hard to get a good picture of her because of her colour but in last week's snow she really stood out! She's quite a character (which is another way of saying she's very mischievous!) and likes nothing better than to sit on my shoulder while I'm crafting!



Thanks for visiting today - and a big thanks for helping me to reach my first 5000 hits! When (or if!) it ticks over 5000 I'll get some blog candy sorted!

Have a great week y'all!
