Floral Harmony!

Hello Everyone, how are you all doing?  well I hope and having a good week.
It's raining cats and dogs today and so dark, lights are on and much cooler too, are you having much the same? 

I think our colds are getting a bit better although we are still coughing, especially at night, so not all that much sleep happening these nights, funny how we can feel better through the day, but at night we feel just awful. Every night we say tomorrow  will be better. Anyway it could be worse, at least we don't have to be up and out for work in the mornings.Every cloud as they say.

I have one of those cards that we hate making but have to sometimes...actually I've made far more that I would have wanted to these last few months. This one was one that my son asked me to make for one of his neighbours;
This is a beautiful Chocolate Baroque stamp called Floral Harmony and I've coloured with watercolours, I've kept it very simple.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last cards, I do appreciated that you take the time to visit.

I would like to enter my card into http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-flower-challenge-30-anything-goes.html

That's me for now, take care and I'll see you soon,

Hi Kate, Pleased to hear you are both feeling a bit better. Such a pretty card. They are always hard cards to make but when you think that it will bring the recipient a little bit of comfort at a sad time, it makes it worth it doesn't it. Cold and raining here today. Take care, stay warm. Hugs Flo xx

This is a beautiful card made with care. I love the musical notes behind the flower. It is very cold here and snow is on the ground. We have some sun today which is nice. Sorry to hear you are not well and i have been in those shoes with coughing at night. I have a tip for you to try...it works for me. Take a spoonful of peanut butter(creamy no nuts) and let it slowly go down your throat. I don't like peanut butter at all so this is a big thing for me to do. I think it coats the throat and stops the cough. I learned this from my mom in law

Beautiful card, Kate. The colouring is lovely - love the shades of purple - and it's perfect for such a sad occasion. I don't like making these cards either. Weather here has taken a turn for the worse too but we had a bit of watery sunshine this afternoon. Elizabeth xx
