A Red Heart!!

Trying to get some different items made for the Craft Market next month.

I have used a Lili Of the Valley paper as the background.
The flowers are from Hobbycraft .

A simple make, just added a line of Gold Embossing 
powder to the edge of the heart, to finish it off.

Also added the sentiment, using an old stamp and 
Gold Embossing powder.



I just wish I had made things in all the spare time I had!!

Never mind, I didn't know there would be the chance 
of selling any of my items!!

So looking forward to the first one!!

Thanks for your lovely comments on my last post.

Big hugs,
Carol

Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Animal Magic

Our host for this challenge is my friend and fellow Teamie
Marianne.

The theme is 'Animals Magic'.
But please remember you must have a piece of any 
ribbon or lace on your entry.

If not, you will not entered be into the prize draw, to 
win a £10 voucher to spend in the Crafty Ribbons shop.

The Crafty Ribbon I used is 


The stamps I used are Indigo Blue - Winterland Wood set,
and heat embossed with Wow White Embossing Powder.


The line of Snowflakes is an embossing folder.
After embossing the card, I used a Versamark pen
on the raised area and then used the Wow Embossing powder.

I have had these pens for so many years, I wondered if they 
would work. They have just been in a drawer. 

I'm looking forward to seeing your lovely entries 
and leaving you a message so you know I have been.

Good luck.
Hugs,

A Special Day

My health problem got a lot worse over the weekend. 
Saturday morning was spent mostly in bed. I felt nauseous and couldn't eat 
and even struggled drinking. The pain was really bad too.

I managed to get up Sunday but still felt much as the same as Saturday.
I lost 5lbs in those two days. 
I must apologise for not visiting your blogs over the last few days.
I know my plan was to lose a stone this year, but not this way.
Another visit to the Docs on Monday.
He now thinks that I have a stone stuck in my Kidney.
He even called the hospital, spoke to a consultant, who agreed with him.
He also wanted to see if I could get a scan that evening!
No luck with that though.
He said he was going to keep an eye on me!

The hospital called me this morning. They had a cancellation, 
so I have had it done. Now the wait for the results.
**********************
I must welcome my 2 new followers, Lia and Ameera.
Thank you for taking the time to join me.
Would love a message when you visit, so I can return the same to you.

This card I made over the last week. It was a stop and start card!
It's an 8" x 8" card blank and the backing card is a pack I bought at Ally Pally.
It is a beautiful card and I have it in 3 designs and also in gold.
The silver corners are the waste from the mirror board Die Cut.



The stamps are both from Lili Of The Valley, the sentiment and image.
The image was coloured with Distress Inks.  
The sentiment was heat embossed with Silver Detail Embossing Powder,
onto a piece of the backing card.
You can see the shiny design a bit on this photo.

The flowers are a Sue Wilson Die set Delicate Daisies.


The image was stamped onto Langton Water Colour 300gsm paper.
The image and backing are cut with a Craft-Too set of dies.

I used the same die for the sentiment inside.


The table that the card is sitting on was an old garden table that 
nearly ended up at the tip.
Instead, I painted it and then decorated it with Sheena Douglas style painting!
It then ended up on Create and Craft, on Sheena's Show!
Her husband had emailed me, as the table had been seen on my blog
and Sheena wanted to show it on her shows over the next 2 days. So it did.
I have got a couple of the programmes saved on my Sky box!! How sad!!
That was at least 6-7 years ago!!

I won't tell you how long it has taken me to get all this waffle on here!!
I can't sit for too long in one place, as it gets rather uncomfortable.

I promise I will try to start getting around to you all, over the next few days.

Thank you for visiting and leaving you lovely messages.

Big hugs to all,
