5 Shades of Gold. . . . . . . . .


Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well?

I must apologise for my absence from Blogland. I did manage to meet up with John armed with his pressies and card and to get to the GBCF at Stoneleigh on the1st and met up with the lovely Christine. I stayed from 10 til around 1.30, an hour of which was sitting chatting and munching with Christine.
It was quiet and I knew I had done enough so that's why I headed home early. I only spent about £20, mostly on card (and a naughty First Edition pad, bad girl!!!).

In the evening, I started sniffing etc so I knew I had caught Mr D's cold. Unfortunately, its turned into a viral infection which has, so far, resulted in 2 trips into hospital in the past 10 days as its had an effect on my heart rate and rhythm. As its a virus, there's nothing they can give me so I basically have to rest, keep hydrated and ride out the storm, fuelled by Ribena for Vitamin C.

So forgive me chaps, but I've just not been up to blogging or visiting - Maureen, I'm so sorry  if I worried you.
I'm still not feeling great but thought I should post something in a moment of ok-ness as I don't want you all forgetting me lol!!! I will try and catch up with your blogs as best I can during the next few days as sadly, it may take some time to shift this virus.

This was a card requested by Nesta (who has been extra fab during the last 10 days) as her sisters in laws were celebrating their Golden Wedding back in August (yes, I'm a bit behind lol!!!)


Ingredients
Cream, vintage gold and gold mirror card
SB Bitty Blossoms (yes, I know, but I love them lol!!!)
SB Grand and Classic Ovals
SB Butterfly Circles (just for the gold butterflies)
Sue Wilson Maidenhair Fern die 
Sue Wilson Catkin Stems dies
Couture Creations Tied Together embossing folder
Habico sentiment stamps
CS Gold Detail embossing powder
CS Golden Pearl PVA pearls
Gold Krylon Pen


In case you had noticed, yes I have embossed the Maidenhair Fern die cuts through a floral embossing folder as I thought they looked a little flat as is and needed a bit of texture.

Apparently, the card was well received so happy days.

Well, I'll slope off back under my blanket to my hot Ribena and hope that you all have a lovely week. Thank you for your continued kind comments and good wishes.

Ps. Wendy (Yorks Butterfly) the GP result was fine by me, as was this weeks, as I am not a Lewis Hamilton fan (Jenson Baby for me from the British drivers) and I am hoping Nico wins the WDC. . . . . . not very patriotic of me is it lol!!!

  15. HI Ang, so sorry to hear that you are suffering again. Perhaps something stronger than Hot Ribena may help, also the results of the latest Grand Prix should make you smile.
    Fabulous Card Ang, think I will be copying this at sometime in the future.
    Get better quick Ang.

  16. Where should I start Ang -- I am so sorry you have been ill. You certainly have had a time of it haven't you!!!
    Rest is important - do you like to read? I find reading a good book very restful and it takes my mind completely of what is on my plate at the time.
    Your card is the most elegant card I have ever seen. Such a beauty and a sure keepsake!

  17. Hi Ang,
    oooooooooo! I am sorry that you have not been well again.
    Poor you you are going through the mill at tne mo.
    Keep warm and take things easy.
    You can't beat Ribena for vitiamin C, but also you need some sunshine too.
    Oh my word this is gorgeous and a very stunning card.
    I love the design of this, and those roses are gorgeous also.
    Love and big hugs from my house to yours.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  18. Hi Ang

    I so love this beautiful card! I have that particular embossing folder and have used it many times

    I hope by now you're starting to feel a little better? A little (hic) dark rum in the Ribena and zapped in the microwave does wonders for a cold... at least it does for mine! lol

  19. Hello Ang,
    Pleased to see you blog but no good that you are poorly. It's a lovely Golden Wedding card today, nearly as nice as the ones I received last Saturday for mine!!! George keeps saying that the train robbers didn't get as long as this - he'll soon be released from A & E when they've finished "patching" him up!!!
    Just got back today from Carlisle for a girly few days get together with other crafting friends (we don't craft, we talk, talk, shop and shop).
    Do take care and look after yourself. Glad you're not keen on LH, I'm a JB fan as well.
