Good morning mon petit fleurs. Hope that you are all superdoopah.
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog update. Sorry you had found the old one tricky to read...........mind you, with some of the drivel I write, you didn't miss much lol!!!
Ok, for those of you feeling sorry for Mr D, I have caved in and the heating is on. Its been colder than a penguin's chuff the last couple of days so it had to be done. I have even bought some thermal leggings to wear around the house......no Max Wall revival in public for me!!!
Now, back to the matter in hand. I thought I would park the Christmas samples for a little while and as this card is almost a year old, I thought it high time it had its moment of glory.
I made this for Alistair Culliesocks, my dear friend Kate's wonderful hubby (otherwise known as Milk Tray Man) for his birthday last November. For those of you not familiar with Kate's tales of Alistair, he is like the love child of Ranulph Fiennes and Bear Grylls so I decided to go with a roamin in the gloamin look.
Ingredients
White card
Blue textured card
JND Festive Silhouettes stamps
Various Distress inks
Black Archival ink
I had made a similar one for one of John's show samples at the time the stamps came out last year (see here) but I think that I prefer this version as I'm pleased at how the reflection came out (I stamped it onto funky foam then transposed it from that).
Stephanie, your memories of Halloween sound lovely, especially hot cocoa and donuts lol!!!
I did wonder what war Maureen was a child in (Roses?) but this was Molly's reaction when I told her you would be out unfettered at Halloween..............
Have a great week folks.
TTFN

Morning Ang, such a beautiful sample today, love the colouring you have used on it, something I would not have chosen but it really does work well, must have a try with mine.
ReplyDeleteWe have also succumbed and put the heating on although I am sure hubby has it on for too long but that is another story.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Ang, a superb card, I am sure Alistair was well chuffed when he received it. It has turned really cold, the cars were iced up when hubs left for work this morning. Have had the heating on, as I work from home and it gets really cold. Take care and have a great day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card in such a vibrant colour.
ReplyDeleteWhy be cold? Life’s too short....

Gorgeous card Ang. I have also got the heating on. Hate being cold,
ReplyDeleteLovely card Ang.
ReplyDeleteYou do make me titter, xxxx
Well I thought I recognised your wonderful card, but obviously not seen it for the best part of a year.
ReplyDeleteAlistair is sitting beside me and was loving it of course, but chuckling about the love child, though h can't stand Bear Grylls as he considers him something of a phoney, in fact the majority of the climbing fraternity do, lol.
So pleased you gave in about the heating, Alistair has been worried about Mr. D getting hypothermia. Love the expression on Molly's face. Plucked up courage and got a Dr.'s appointment later in the day, will keep you posted, have a good warm day, Kate x
Hi Ang great card xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Ang!! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI have a tuxedo cat and his name is Boo.
Will be moving North in March - I am quite excited about it - looking forward to having a real winter again with some snow!!

Lovely card Ang x
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteLove today's card and may I say that Alistair is a lucky chappy to have received the one you sent last year, although him being a love child, and not a surrogate, of two men makes my mind boggle!!!!
Now as to the war, I should have said Conquest - as in Norman ha ha.
love Maureen xxx
p.s. Molly and I are the best of friends, witches always have a black cat!!!
This design is so awesome and beautiful. So much work getting those colors and shadows. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA great design Ang and I love the colours you have used.
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely atmospheric card! You are clever!
The colours are lovely and the reflection is beautiful!
That’s a great photo of Molly!
Maureen - put Norman back!!
Love Myra xx
Oooh. This card just speaks to me. I love the colors and depth of it, very "arty". A wonderful card. I used John's deer yesterday on a card. Love deer and the stamps.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween to everyone. Molly is in the spirit already.
I better get ready for the dentist. I hope he hasn't got any tricks up his sleeve.
