Thank you all so much for your kind and concerned comments on my last post, especially about my diabetic blip, all Okay now, thankfully, and your comments are always appreciated about my cards and I'm so pleased by your response on the Inkylicious card as I was really pleased with it myself. I love making my own backgrounds, but I've got a lot to learn, and sometimes I can't get the colours as vivid as I would like them, but you've got to start somewhere. It does mean however that my stack of paper pads are redundant at the moment, and when I look at them I can see a small fortune.
I'd like to welcome Sandma as another new Followers, another Inkylicious fan who I've drawn inspiration from and you can find her blog here, lots of fabulous creations to see on it.
A new commenter too Dr. Sonia, thanks for visiting me and I will be popping in to see you soon.
So, here I am with today's card and it's made using one of the latest floral stamps by Chocolate Baroque and you can find them here, this one is called Harlequin Bouquet and it's been coloured with a selection of Promarkers. The little bird image is from the Pretty Birdcage set of stamps. The background is a mask by Tando Creative also bought from CB and inked with DI.A pretty ribbon and a few sequins and job done.
This card has gone to my Choral Buddie Fiona as she starts a new job. I'd forgotten to put the sentiment on it before I took the photo. She has received it and pleased to say loves it.
A dull day today and now raining, I do hope we get some good weather for the Easter holidays especially as the children are off school. We have no plans but. Alistair is hinting about taking me for a curry on Saturday, I love them, but they don't really love me and as I love Korma dishes which are full of cream and other naughty ingredients........well, you can imagine.
Anyway, that's me for now, take care everyone and see you soon,

A really pretty card Kate. I love your background and the little bird and swirls look lovely. What a beautiful stamp that is. Wishing you and Alistair a very Happy Easter. Barbxx
I love the way you've created the background to go with the main image, which is a beautiful stamp in itself. Your background adds great interest without distracting from the image, a tricky balance to get. No wonder your friend was thrilled with it. I hope the Easter weather perks up for you and that you enjoy your meal out, we can't be good all the time, said the woman with a half eaten toasted hot cross bun with lots of butter next to her!

Finger problems today. A lovely card Kate, I like all the different elements and the colour combo.
Shame you can't get healthy kormas out like you can make at home. Still they never taste as good.
Enjoy your Easter weekend, hugs Erika. X
Have I missed a post - I must have because I did not know of your diabetic blip. Hope all straightened out. Can you cheat once in a while? Sounds like luncheon plans on Easter are delicious. I hope you can cheat just a little?
Stunning card Sugar!

I could not seem to go back and leave a comment. Loved your fishing card.
Maybe you forgot to take your blood sugar. When you did, the reading was mighty high. Being educated as a registered nurse, having to do shots of insulin tells me something. Are you still walking? Sorry about your fall - I fall a lot and you should see my arms. Looks like the war of roses!
