Language of Flowers 4 and a Winner. . . . . . . .


Good morning paddlers. Hope everyone is doing well, especially Marion and Littlelamb with poorly backs.
Maureen, it was lovely to see your comment pop up. Hope you'll be zimmer frame free before you know it. It was most unusual to hear of a Geordie lass being flat on the pavement, half dressed ...... well, during the day anyway lol! You take care and I hope George is looking after you.

Welcome to Brenda. Thank you for clicking "follow". I hope that you enjoy your visits.

I've not been too bad. Did get out with Davey and Nesta on Wednesday for lunch and lunched again yesterday with an old school friend and her Mum. Still getting ectopics but trying to ignore them.

Thank you for your comments on my neat grunge card. Elaine, I'm not daft. They're not my fingerprints, in case anyone from the local constabulary or Crimewatch is watching . . . . . . . . whatever has happened, I have an alibi and I don't know where the chocolate is buried. . . . . .

Now, today is another of the samples for John using the Peony rubber stamp.


Ingredients
Burgundy, deep red and white card
SB Matting Basics A and B dies
John Lockwood Peony stamp 
John Lockwood sentiment stamp
Spectrum Noir alcohol pens in reds and pinks
Black Archival ink


I just stamped and masked and stamped and masked the peony stamp to get the overlapping effect, then coloured in to create a background. Its a pretty card in the flesh, IMHO lol!!!

WakeyL, hope you have fun at Samuel Taylors with John today.
Jan, I've not actually used the Glitter Kiss yet. It took John about 6 months to persuade me to use gilding polish lol!!! Maybe if there is a black, white or red in the pipeline.

Now for some important news. Mr D has been on the pull again and the winner of the 4th Blogaversary Paddle Prize is. . . . . . . drumroll . . . . . . . another drumroll . . . . . . .  .

BridgetCG !!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Bridget. Please email your surname and address to duckydining@gmail.com so that I can send you your prize. Thank you for your continued support and lovely comments.

Thank you to everyone else too. Blame Mr D for not pulling you lol!!!

That's me for now. Have a wonderful weekend and be good.

    Love the simplicity of this card. Matting and layering makes so much difference to the look of a card.

  10. Hello Ang,
    What a gorgeous stamp and I love the card.
    I am being royally entertained by George who is attempting to iron in a method which can only be described as incredible!! The electricity bill will be astronomical at this rate. I'm trying to ignore how slow and laborious he is, but it's hard to keep quiet. Well, almost impossible for me ha ha. It was great on the ward as everyone was deaf so I could chunter to my hearts content and they didn't interrupt!!!!
    Sorry that you're still being bothered with those pesky beats and hope things settle soon but glad you are getting out and about.
    Congratulations to Bridget, enjoy.
    love Maureen xxx

  15. Hi Ang this card must have taken you ages to do with all the masking and then all the colouring but it looks great and with such a background the mats are just right doesn't need anything more. Glad you have had a few trips out this week must make life seem more normal. Congratulations to Bridget on being picked for the anniversary prize. Have fun with your goodies. Love from Jackie xx

  18. Morning Ang such a pretty card for us today. I am not surprised that John asks you to help with his demo cards, as they are always beautiful.
    Congratulations to Bridget on winning you Paddle Price, I hope she gets as much pleasure from it as I got from mine.
    Hope you are having a better time health wise, and your "funny" turns are getting less and less.
    Take care Ang.
