Number 392 From John's May Shows. . . . . . . . .


Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Hope this finds all well with you. 

Another splashy welcome to The Pond to June. Thank you so much for joining our merry throng (that's throng Maureen before you get excited lol!!!)

Well, the beautiful warm sunny days we have had disappeared with a vengeance today and its been persisting down. Still, the garden could do with the rain. . . . . . . .Lord, I'm turning into my Mother lol!!!
I braved the elements to put grapes out for Mr and Mrs B as he was chirruping away outside the kitchen window and trying to put on his pitiful dishevelled look for effect.
I managed to pick a tub of blackberries a couple of days ago, surprised that the birds hadn't been having a chomp on them but obviously, they prefer something a bit more exotic.
Some brave insect had chewed its way into one of fat chillies (they are mega hot) on one of my plants. I'm guessing it may have been its last meal or it was now in search of an Imodium plant lol!!!

Anyhoo, today shows yet another of my collection of samples from John's May shows (I told you I had done lots lol!!!). I hope John hasn't lost them in his move as I haven't had them back from him yet.


Ingredients
Cream and lilac card
Presscut Square dies
SB Fancy Postage Stamp die (small one)
CE Jacobean Floral embossing folder (emboss on cream, deboss on the lilac)
John Lockwood Peony Elements stamp
John Lockwood Summers Child stamp (sentiment)
CS mica powders (to colour the peony)
CS Clear embossing powder
CS Graceful Lilac PVA Pearls
CE jelly tot dazzler
Mei Flower thin lilac ribbon 
Dusty Concord DI


There's only a couple more left to show now (was that a sigh of relief I heard lol???)

Here's hoping you all have a fabulous weekend and good weather.
Thank you as always for your visit and your kind comments.

  4. Morning Ang, we too feed the birds....what a noise they make!! The starlings are always arguing with every bird in sight to get to the feeders....and there are plenty of feeders to go around....if they would only form an orderly queue, then they would all get some LOL !!. Glad to hear you are chasing up the consultants...hopefully it will be good news. Beautiful card for John. Hope his move went ok. Janice x http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com

  5. Good morning Ang, yes I am back - in body if not in mind! Been catching up on your posts and so sorry to read your woes but things seem to be looking a bit brighter. Really pretty card you have shown here particularly the stamped flower, is it on parchment paper? Can't really do anything myself at present as I wouldn't know which box has what in it. I knew before I went away but the old brain is a bit addled!! Have a good weekend, Jackie xx

    So you didn't hear a lot of splashing about in your rain butt or pond with your death wish insect then?
    Hope you have good news soon

  9. Hi Ang,
    what a superb designed card, and such a very lovely design.
    The colours are so very wonderful, and I love that fab stamped flower.
    Great pearly dots as well.
    Love and big hugs from my house to yours.
    Yes you were right I am running out of card. LOL.
    No I thought it was about time I did some other size cards as peeps may be getting fed up with my 8"x8".
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  10. Hi there Ang, stunning card, beautiful colours and design. I love the embossing and the liquid pearls making the frame, gorgeous ribbon and bows.

  12. Hello Ang,
    Gorgeous card and colours. Love the techniques used, a sort of mix it up, throw it together and stand back for a lovely affect with the inny and outie embbossing!!!
    What a tease you are, there was I thinking you were into Victoria's Secret underwear ha ha. Personally, I find the term cheese cutter a more apt description of thongs LOL.
    Good luck with the Secretary. Keep ringing, you will catch her eventually and it may be quicker than an email or pigeon post.

  14. Beautiful Ang I haven't done paved pearl in a while so thanks for the reminder
    Now you've emailed and sent a letter I would email them every week until you get a proper response (not a fob off) because I know for a fact that they (should) meet up on a weekly basis to discuss letters/work etc
    Take care x

  15. Hi Ang! Just got back from a vacation to New Hampshire to visit my step-son and his wife. Missed a lot of my blogs so trying to catch up. Love the way you did the ribbon on this on. Very elegant. Have a great day.
