Good morning everyone. Hope all is well with you and yours. I'm back at work following a few days off but today is a non working day so I shall be watching to see what Mr Lockwood has up his sleeve.
Got a touch of costochondritis again so riding the storm on the crest of Ibruprofen lol!!! It flairs up every 6 months or so but hey ho!
Thank you for your comments on Nesta's florals. She is currently sunning herself in Spain so I'm very jealous.
Lovely to see a few ladies back from travels and busy lives.....Lesley, you sound as though you have had an interesting time.
Now, today's offering is my DT creation for MAWTT and I picked the theme for this challenge which is...................
My Favourite Things,
as in the song from The Sound of Music, one of my favourite films.
Please pop over and see what the other girlies have come up with and the words from the song are on the blog if you would like to join in and enter the challenge or just have a sing song.................go on, you know you want to lol!!!
I've gone for a BOGOF.........the raindrops on roses and the brown paper package tied up with string
Ingredients
Cream card
Green card
Pink pearlised card (thought the raindrops would show up better on it)
Brown paper
Patterned paper from First Edition Bird Song 8x8 pad
Embossalicious Tumbling Leaves embossing folder
SB Bitty Blossoms dies
SW Laurel Leaves dies
John Lockwood Flower Heart Elements stamps (sentiment)
Anita's 3D Gloss (raindrops)
Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet DI
Rhubarb Stalk Memento Dew Drop ink
String
Bling
I wanted it to look like a gift of flowers in an unfussy package. I stuck the brown paper to some card and then bowed it out from the card to give it a more 3D look.
In hindsight, I'm wishing I made the "package" smaller as it does look a lot of brown but you live and learn.
Sooooo, over you go to MAWTT to join in the fun. See, even Aldi have jumped on the bandwagon and are using the song for their Christmas advert hahaha!!!
Also, don't forget to comment on this post here to go into the 300 posts paddle prize draw.
Elaine, its very kind of you to offer to not be part of the draw.
Jan, I'm surprised that John had any chocolate left 24 hours later lol. Sorry I missed Anne.
Maureen, the more the merrier chuck.
That's me for now so be good.

Good morning Ang sorry to hear you have to be dosing yourself. I'm certainly learning things as I had to Google your condition to find out what it was!! I suppose the only relief is to stop breathing but that is a bit if a non starter isn't it. Anyway to your beautiful card. I think you have captured the song so well. Last race this weekend roll on next season. Love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the most original and most fun challenge I have seen in a long time and I absolutely love it! Well done Mrs Duck. You have made a most attractive floral card fitting your theme perfectly - clever you, I am most impressed and can't wait to see the rest of the cards this challenge generates. Hope you feel better soon - haven't a clue what you are suffering from but if it's an "itis" it must be bad!!! Jx

You know its time to read things properly when you mis-read "itis" as something else entirely hahaha! I should've gone to Specsavers lol!
DeleteOh Ang, those roses are just too too beautiful. What a lovely card, those raindrops are a perfect finishing touch too. Some time ago I bought that set of rose dies after seeing your roses, do you think I can make them so beautifully, ha ha no! Michelle x

ReplyDeleteI am so jealous on two counts, you have such an interesting condiiton, an itits ha ha, and the ability to make fabulous cards. I do hope you soon recover, and I don't think the brown paper parcel is too big as it obviously has to contain lots of favourite things.

Yes thankyou, had a fantastic time, a trip of a lifetime, which will live with me forever, just like my trips to Australia have done, and they were in the 80s and 90s!
ReplyDeleteLove your raindrops on roses, they look super, and your parcel is fine to me, so dont worry about it.
Great choice for the theme.....I love all those roses such a gorgeous card. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang! Beautiful roses! I think the brown package is offset by your leaf spray behind the roses. They balance each other. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Ang. I love everything on this card. The roses, with raindrops are beautiful and the brown paper and string are great. Sorry to hear you are not well. Ouch, it sounds painful you poor thing ( must admit I had to use Google to look it up ) Take care x
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun challenge Ang and what a great card you shared.
ReplyDeleteHi Ang, this card is lovely, the raindrops are such a great addition (and I have to say one of my all time favourite songs). Wish I had enough time off of work to enter challenges. Hope you get well soon. Bx
