One Happy - One not so!

Hello again and thank you for your visit.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today (there would have been two more but I forgot to take pics ;D). 

This first one was for my OH who shares his birthday with Queen Elizabeth II ...... perhaps I should have made her a card as well, lol!  I took inspiration from a card I found on Pinterest here but as usual tweaked it a bit.  I think OH was very pleased not to receive a card from me that wasn't shades of brown, lol!


 The stamps I used are from Inkylicious and I worked directly onto linen look card to get the texture.

My second card is one of those all crafters wish they didn't need to make and doubly so in this case as it was for a relatively young person who died from pancreatic cancer.  He's left behind 2 boys from his first marriage and a little girl who isn't 2 yrs old yet and her Mum.....so sad!


I inked and stamped three squares of card, stuck them to the base card and stuck the poppy die cut ovr the top.

A few more pics of our neglected garden's little treasures.


 Beautiful Helibores

Lovely waxy Hyacinth

See you again soon!
