A Blue Birthday!

 Hello Everyone, are you surviving the heat? it's marvellous even if it's too hot for me to sit out, Somehow when the sun's shining it makes me want to get on with chores.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post, always appreciated.

My card tonight is one I made for my friend Rita's birthday earlier this month.



This stamp is y Heartfelt, and I first heat embossed it then added Gansi Tambi watercolours, and some sparkle. Blue glitter card and a marbled paper. Sentiment is from Woodware. Pleased to say Rita liked it.

So we have more sport to look forward to, the Olympic Games. Alistair has been warned, I will confiscate the remote control. I put up with the football, the Tour I actually enjoy, but athletics not. However, I'm sure many of your lovely people will be tuning in to them.

Well, that's me for now, I'm going to visit your blogs and see what you've all been up to, so till next time take care of yourselves and see you soon,

Hi Kate

I love the postcard style card front and your colour choices. I bet your friend did too. I hope she had a happy day.

Our weather will be changing at the weekend but we have summer for one more day LOL!! I have sat out quite a bit this week colouring under the shade of the garden umbrella. Not something I do very often .. .. but I really enjoy it when I do.

Love Jules xx

Such a pretty card Kate. Love the image and your choice of blue is just stunning, I'm sure Rita loved it too. I like the vintage postcard image it just adds that extra touch to the card. Have a good week Kate.

Love this card!! I love the strong blue set against the postcard look. I bet they will love it. We don’t watch much sports so not much care about the Olympics but I am proud of the Canadian Olympic swimmer who has won a ton of medals.
