Hi Everyone
Happy Friday .. .. another weekend is nearly upon us and it looks like it might be a chilly one. In fact I have even had to break out the "long sleeves" again this week!
A busy day here with quite a bit of it spent with my lovely Mum as today is her birthday. She is now a whole 89 years young and this is the card I made for her which reflects the poppy flowers on her tea cup and lap tray .. ..

Many thanks for your lovely comments on my previous post .. .. I was asked how I made the jar look full of water. To do this I stamped the jar twice and die cut them both. Next I stuck stamped and coloured die cut flowers on top of the first jar, then trimmed an aperture into the centre of the second. This was then glued on top of the first and then glossy accents was used to fill the aperture. All you needed then was a barrow load of patience to leave it alone and not keep poking it to see if it was dried through. Once it was it could be added to the card front.
So that is me for today.
Happy weekend everyone! I am hoping for a super productive one!

A gorgeous card Jules, fabulous image, papers and design and also beautifully coloured.
Well we have had the heating on the last two night, been really bitter here, I had a jumper and a cardigan on but my hands were frozen so Chris relented and put the heating on.
Have a lovely weekend.

Poppies always seem to come up trumps and this is a super stamp - great background as swell. I'm sure your Mum had a lovely day.
A gorgeous card Jules. I have this stamp and have never inked it up...must do something about that! Love the papers you've chosen for him, a perfect match
