Herbert Hare

  Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for the "Animals" challenge, chosen by Pamela at Dragonfly Dreams.

I made a notebook cover-the background is a stripey adhesive paper I received in a card swap, I gold embossed the old wooden Stampotique stamp Herbert Hare and coloured with promarkers the stamped borders was made with a Pink Frog stamp and I used distress ink round the edge and glossy accents on the eyes.

Just to show it is a notebook cover.

Tri-Fold Nature Card

I made a Tri-fold card using Crafters Companion papers, stamps from AALL&Create, sentiment stamp from Pickled Pear, dies from My Favourite Things, seam binding ribbon from stash and I cut a butterfly from the paper and added on the front on 3-D foam pads.

I have been rather slow leaving comments this week but I will catch up.

Card Chain Swap

 Morning and time for the Card Chain Swap Reveal- 24 cards were exchanged. I went with the Black/White and one other colour option and my card went to Robyn in Australia. I used AALL&Create stamp set, background stencil from My Favourite Things and the corner stickers I found in my planner journal-only had it about 4 yrs and use it for listing challenges but they were tucked in a pocket lol.

Missing again

 Morning just to let you know I will be missing again-luckily I had all  cards made and posted as I spent all day Friday in hospital showing all signs of a stroke-had all the scans, ECG/bloods and tests-thankfully it resolved itself so was diagnosed as a TIA(mini stroke) which I had five of a few years ago -put down to all the stress since July so just have to rest which is all I feel like doing at the moment-so back as soon as I can.
