Hello Everyone, I hope you are enjoying your week end and that you have lovely weather.
What a great week of weather we've had, it fairly lifts the spirits and makes you want to get on with chores you've been putting off for a while.........well some of them lol.
Alistair has taken to cycling this last week and is away this afternoon, a bit of peace and quiet for a couple of hours.
I have a Birthday card for a friend today;
I've been inspired by Marianne Fisher to get out my Card-io stamps, they've not been used all that much recently. Marianne is creating such beautiful cards with her Card-io stamps.
I've used Versacolour in and stamps from Dandelions at Dusk, Blown Away and Freesia and Violet sets. The sentiment is by Woodword, I've added some tiny gems and a few sequins. I even carried on the flowers on the envelope.
This is for a friend I used to work with whom unfortunately don't get see all that often, I hope she'll like it.
Just a wee update on my friend Fiona. She went through her surgery on Tuesday and he Hubby got in touch to say that everything seemed to go well and she was getting out the following day. Not wanting to tire her I thought I would wait a few days before I got in touch, I'm sure she will need plenty of rest.
So, just before I go, wanted to thank you for the lovely comments that you leave, I really do appreciate them.
Enjoy your weekend and cheerio for now,

Love your card! Those tiny stamps are often my favorites. We dont’ have Cardio ones in the USA we have Rubber Stamp Tapestry, which are about the same thing, I think. Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful card! I like the colors you chose and the design.
For some reason this card may me think of peg stamps (Hope you know what I mean) they have been sittng in the drawer for quuite a while...I need to get them out too.
I glad to hear that your friend Fiona's, surgery went well. I hope she is without pain.
This card is beautiful. Love the pretty flowers in the Spring colors. Your friend will love it.
Wonderful card for your friend. I hope she is getting better every day.
Such a lovely card Kate and I love your layout x
This is so so pretty with the blue, purple and greens with the Card-io flowers and leaves Kate and love the masked off centre for the sentiment. I do have one small set of Card-io stamps and mini flowers and leaves from Inkylicious so I may try this sort of technique as it does look very effective. x
