I Spy!

Hello Everyone, I do hope all is well with you, but sending positive thought to those who need them.
This week is getting away from me once again, I really don't know where the days go....too fast that's for sure.

Thank you all for the lovely comments and the good wishes for my Jim, they are most appreciated. 

I'm still not back to crafting all that much, only making the cards that are necessary, like this one for Moreen, DIL whose birthday it is tomorrow;
My lovely friend Mrs. Duck sent me this lovely Sweet Poppy stencil, called I Spy, at Christmas and I immediately thought of Moreen's card. I've used Imagination Craft Sparkle Medium in Silver on to black glossy card. Black and silvery grey glitter card and the base card is a dark grey for SU, Little heart gems and a sentiment from Creative Stamping free stamps on to velum, sequins and job done. A little difficult to photograph with all that silver, but you get the idea.

Alistair is away up a mountain today, I can never get my head around trudging through knee deep snow, but it makes him happy, so it will be a later dinner tonight. Our mountains look stunning with all the snow, but I prefer to just look at them.

That's me for now, keep safe and cosy and see you soon,

Beautiful Kate. Love the black and silver. You did a great job on the photo picking up the silver. I'm with you and just looking at the mountains. But everyone needs to do what they enjoy. Enjoy your late dinner. Keep safe and cosy as well.

Fabulous card with two great colours combined. Alistair will sure be fit and tired after his mountain walk, I walk in the extreme heat so a snow mountain walk would be just fabulous.xx

No, I don't see the appeal either Kate but as you say it makes him happy so who are we to question. That really is a lovely stencil and looks rather splendid in the colours you have used.

Hi Kate,
what a very gorgeous card and that stencil looks so stunning with the silver glittery sparkle medium.
Beautifully designed as always.
Oh my Alistair must be mad to love the snow so and do all that climbing and walking in it.
Hope he gets back safely with out any injury.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
