Hi girls. Thank you for calling in to my blog to see what is on offer - I hope you are not disappointed. I would love to think that my creations might just help to inspire you in your own crafting.
The snow came during the night yesterday and we woke up to another 4 or 5 inches. It really is getting beyond a joke. William was going to take me into Perth to visit my favourite shop, Stampaholics, but snow and crutches or wheelchairs just don't go well so we had to abandon plans. It was disappointing because Siobhan is closing the shop in a few weeks because the recession has struck business significantly. She now has a full time job in Ninewells Hospital in Dundee but is managing to keep the shop going for a little time yet. She, and the shop, will be sorely missed. She has been a major influence on my crafting. It snowd again all evening on Saturday so I guess I'll be housebound for a bit longer - a great excuse to do some crafting.
Anyway on to my card for today. I am following the sketch given by Sketch and Stash and have inked up a new Lili of the Valley image called "Coffee Break" coloured using my Copics. The papers are by Meridian Inc. and I used peach card as a mount. The flowers are by Wild Orchid and the leaves are made using an LEM.co punch.
If you like this card or have anything you would like to say about it I would be so grateful if you leave me a comment if you have time. I really value what you say.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and avoid the snow. In any case stay safe and healthy.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Stampaholics, I used to love to visit on the way to Crieff. I'm sure lots of people will miss it. Always seemed busy when I was in. Horrible recession!
Take care,

What a pretty card Fiona-I like the papers you used they compliment the image perfectly. Sorry to hear your local craft shop is closing-I know you and Kathleen love going there, she certainly seems to do good classes too. Do you think she might still do classes if she got a hall or somewhere - just an idea.

Beautiful card, lovely coloured image. I really must get myself some if these Lilly's. Great papers that look wonderful with the flowers you added.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the craft shop closing I know my little local shop is finding things hard too at the moment. It is a shame you didn't get to visit them due to the pesky snow, I hope it clears in time for you to make a visit before they completely close down.
