About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Dies Challenge Day 19 & Emboss Folder, Sketch, Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

It was lovely to get back to Craft Club on Friday.
Some of us did meet up last week just for a natter but it was lovely to see everyone crafting again.
Our best wishes go to one of my ladies, Pat, she had a pacemaker fitted  while we were off.
So wish her a speedy recovery.

Todays post is for a sketch challenge I set my ladies at Club on Friday.

It has a die on  that I have used before, Creative Expressions Pierced Ovals.
So this post is for my Embossing Folder, as I am challenging myself to use all these too.
I have used a stamp that John demoed on Hochanda from Two Jays.
I bought two and I thought this one would be great for Sympathy cards.
I  coloured it the way John did, with inks.
The Emboss Folder is from Craftwell and the striped ribbon is some I bought at Ally Pally when I helped John afew years ago
I rubbed some Mica Magics on the emboss folder to colour a little bit and give it abit of a sheen.



I tied the sentiment tag in with Organza ribbon.

The Sketch

Handy to keep in our handbags, I know Val J uses one all the time.

Love this card, it would work great for a sympathy card. The image is tranquil. I tried the ebay link on my blog and it seems to work for me. Maybe its Mr Blogger Playing up. Hazelxx
