Hello Everyone, how are you all coping with these latest restrictions? I'm sure they will be quite difficult for some folks, but I guess it had to come.
The whole of mainland Scotland was in tier 4 anyway, so it's not not all that different for us. However it could last for quite a while. All the Governments will have to really ramp up the roll out of the vaccines to get ahead of the virus, and goodness knows how many people there is able to deliver the injection, more than we've got is needed if all those in the most at risk group is to be vaccinated by April, anyway we'll see how it goes.
I have a birthday card today that I'm entering into,
http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-flower-challenge-52-embossing-heat.html
I used an old stamp from Papermania and heat embossed with WOW silver powder, and coloured with pencils. a few sequins and a sentiment from Creative Stamping magazine, all matted on to pink and green card.
That's me for now, and thank you for your lovely comments on my last post, always appreciated.
Take care everyone and keep safe,
A lovely stamp and pretty card. The silver embossing gives it a lovelyeffect.

It's a beautiful winter birthday card. I love the pink poinsettia. Tend to think of them only being red. It's going to be a long slow process and I think will last well into this year past Easter. Hugs Mrs A.
