I hope that you are all well and enjoyed your weekend. It wasn't wonderful weather here but at least it wasn't too wet. On Saturday we went to Strathdon to visit friends, that took up most of the day but it was a very pleasant visit. We got the information we wanted to enable us to go to London in October to see our friend's Art Exhibition. He has been working for the last two years for this show and his work is fantastic and it was amazing to be to be able to see his work before anyone important does.
It will attract much attention as Philip Mould (he's on telly with Fiona Bruce) at the moment and David Starkey the historian is doing the forward on Peter's book about the paintings. Anyway, we might not manage to the opening night, as the great and the good have to be there and the gallery can only admit a certain amount, but we will view when it's quieter. Alistair also wants to take me to The Globe Theatre, so it's all something to look forward to.
My card share today;
The background is using another stamp by Lavinia stamped in Versafine ink.
I didn't think there was anything else needed, tell you what though, the fairy wasn't half difficult to cut out, anyway I hope you like her.
I finally got through the ironing this morning as it was taking over the spare bed, and the fact that I had kept on adding to it didn't help.
Well it's raining now, wet rain the kind that seeps through and really wets you, I had thought about a wee walk, but maybe rethink that and have a read insead. I've finished my friend's book and loved every bit of it and now can't wait for the final one in the trilogy, but that will be a year or so away I imagine. I think I'll look for a murder now.
I hope your day is good where you are, and I'll see you soon. oh, and thanks for your kind words about my tree card.

Hi Kate
Love the blended colours on your background. Makes your lovely card very atmospheric.
We've had that drizzly stuff today that soaks you through in seconds. Jumper and slippers on this evening.
Sounds like an exciting trip in October.
Have a great evening.

Super card Kate and lovely background. . I have the stamps and last year at Stoneleigh I bought some of the panels - never used !!!! Why do we do this? I bet there are thousands of pounds worth of crafting stash in peoples drawers and cupboards which have not seen the light of day since taken home. All these "must have" purchases!! Hugs Christine xx
Such a gorgeous card Kate and I've just looked at the rest of your fab creations too! sorry I've been missing for a bit but hubby is home now so fingers crossed it stays that way! I have lots of ironing too can I send it up??? LOL lots of huggles Sue xxx

One of the important stamp sets that I missed last year was the Lavinia ones and I adore their stamps too. This is gorgeous Kate, sounds like you have a fab weekend in London planned to. Lovely colours, awesome stamping Karen x
Wow! Lots of glisten & sparkle on this little shadow fairy's wings. Such a beautiful card, and lucky you, a freebie Lavinia stamp! Sorry to hear about the wet weather..wish I could send you some of our hot sunshine (well it was 100F today, you prob'ly wouldn't want that much of it!). Sounds as though you have some exciting & glamorous adventures coming in the future. What fun...and now you won't have to fret about late nights and early mornings at a job! See????Glad you got the ironing caught up. Perhaps think about retiring the iron too? We did! (you wear it wrinkled or you don't go to whatever. Oh well, weddings & funerals, and if we can, we avoid both of those occasions. Hmm. but sometimes one can't. So the iron comes out of retirement...reluctantly! :-) TFS & Hugs
Beautiful work cutting out your fairy Kate, love the fading colours in the background and the added sparkle, weather mixed here too.
Hi Kate, love your design with the stamps here and I know what you mean about the cutting out - it can take forever! But it looks really effective so well worth doing. Thank you for joining in the Lavinia Challenge this month and good luck in the draw. Hellen (DT)
such a lovely design and beautiful colours. Many thanks for joining the Lavinia Stamps challenge and good luck!!! Melissa (DT)
Good morning sweetie, I love this stamp you have made the back so magical, now I am going to need a fairy stamp :0) I had got in to a good habit of bringing the washing in and ironing after tea each night, but I have 3 days worth now so not looking forwards to it, I love ironing but my back is sore, if I could sit to do it I wouldn't mind, but these kids I am sure they take the clean clothes I put on their beds and stick them back in the wash, they wear heaps so I hear never ending story each time I put a wash on, lol hugs Pops x
Thank you for sharing your beautiful design with us at Lavinia Stamps Challenge, I love the colours and layout, good luck, Zoe DT xx
I love this fairy stamp and also have it in my stash, it's quite a good size too. You have created a lovely card with it. Sounds like you have a lovely trip planned in the future, hope all goes well.

Oh the ironing....it's been staring at me menacingly since February. I will not be bullied into submission... and so the impasse continues....LOL. This card is fab...I love Lavinia stamps. They're so magical, so special and you've done that little fairy proud. Great job, Kate.
