STRIPES

Hello Everyone

Brrrrr, Autumn has definitely arrived here with us this week - the heating is on!

Sorry I was MIA last week but since last Thursday I have had the most horrible few days

I had to put my Sister's beautiful cat "Paddy" to sleep last Thursday, and she doesn't know yet as she is on holiday and not back until this weekend! For those of you who know me, you will know how much I just adore cats, especially my Winston :o) and I was the one who chose Paddy for my Sister from our local RSPCA nearly 14 years ago - I am just heart-broken :((

Then my best friend sent me a text on Wednesday morning to say that her Brother had passed away - he was only 54 and was diagnosed with brain cancer just 8 weeks ago.

Finally, one of my dealers passed away on Thursday at the ripe old age of 48!!!! What! He was diagnosed with stomach cancer just three weeks ago and now he's not here! He leaves behind a wonderful family with three children, 2 girls aged 21 and 11 and the most gorgeous little boy aged just 2! I just can't believe it - I am just shocked and I am angry - I just don't understand why

I'm surprised that I have managed to make a card this week, but I tucked myself away in my craft room to take my mind off everything and have put one together.

So, it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and our theme for this challenge is "Stripes" - yup, we want to see stripes on your creations and you could be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in our Sponsor's store, who this week is Crafter's Companion.

Here is the card I have made:

The recipe for the card is:

Papers: Bazzill - Miss Teagen Sue

Stamp: Bildmalarna - Little Winged Friends - Leaf

Sentiment Stamp: Whimsy - Everyday Button Collection

Sentiment Die: Whimsy - Button Die

Roses Die: Die-namics - Large Rolled Rose and Mini Rolled Roses

Daisy Die: Die-namics - Rolled Daisy

Butterfly Die: Die-namics - Butterflies

Leaves Die: Memory Box - Tender Leaves
Self-Adhesive Pearls: The Hobby House

I have coloured the image with a mix of Copic and Twin Touch (TT) as follows:

Skin: E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)

Hair: TT - BR99 BR116 BR115

Dress: E97 E95 YR00 YR000

Top, Trousers, Socks: E53 E51 E50

Shading: W5 W3 W1

I have outlined the image with Pumice Stone Distress Ink

The papers have been edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink

I wanted to show you a close-up image of the flowers - these are just so easy to make and it makes life so much easier when you want to co-ordinate the colours:

And that's it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Ta ta for now.
