Ooo I missed a day out this week , now how does that happen, well I will tell you , are you all sitting comfortably? good then I will begin.
I uploaded the pictures for today's card and edited them all and that was that, I do not know why for one moment I did not do the blog post there and then but I didn't. Today I had to take my car for an MOT and it failed but I quickly got it fixed (ouch my pocket is lighter) and then it passed thankfully as it has a couple of long journeys to do next week. All I can think of is that I was thinking of that but I didn't even think of the blog post until My lovely friend at Creative Expressions asked me if I had done it oh dear the shame, hangs head lol...
Oops so although a day late I hope you like it.
I took Raisin Adirondack ink and stamped out just the bottom part of the get well stamp first to see how several image look in a row together, I really liked the effect so I decided to cut a piece for my card.
I also used a little white gel pen to accent the swirls in the patterns.
Here's another view with more of that gorgeous stamp, the white pen is also in between each stamped image.
My bow in a lilac colour is a double bow, with so Tulle and card twirls and of course one of the gold ribbon roses.
these are the two singles stamps I used for this project.
A close up on the centre and feature and I used 4 Adirondack colours for this one which I will show below. I also used some pearl swirls and added some gold tiny gold pearls randomly.
Here are the inks used to colour the images
The finished image of today's card..
So also a reminder re the gorgeous Big stamping and scrapbooking show is at Aly Paly again in April 12-13 and there are so many of us including me going to be there demoing.
I apologise that this post is late and I hope you enjoy today's card and anybody commenting on it today will have the chance to win it as I will pick with Mr random and it will be a giveaway.
Hugs

ReplyDeleteLove your card and the way you have used the stamp to create the bottom part of the card, so clever! Thanks for the great how-to instructions
Life is so busy we all have Senior Moments but glad your car got through the MOT eventually!
Best wishes, Pat
Hi Pat.
DeleteThanks for your kind words, I was just trying to view the stamp in a different way really. Glad it worked out, Hugs Kim xxx
Was disappointed yesterday but it was worth waiting for!!! A lovely card and I like your use of colour. I'm sure it's even better 'in the flesh' because the flash takes out some of the colour.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you at Ally Pally-depends whether I can persuade hubby to come too!!! Pleased you got the car sorted! Take care, Jan x
Hi Jan
DeleteSorry you were disappointed but so pleased you came back. I hope I get to meet you Jan too . Hugs Kim xxx
Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteCars are not the cheapest thing to own and maintain are they, but glad it's passed the MOT. Beautiful card and the stamps are gorgeous. An Happy Easter sentiment might be nice? as I don't think there is a huge amount of Easter themed products available, so she says,
and watches out now for an sudden avalanche of them!
Have a nice weekend x
Hi There
DeleteHope you are doing ok too? Cars definitely arent cheap these days and I will need a new exhaust in the next couple of months too it goes on haha.
She best be alright shes got a lot of trips to cope with this year with the tv shows and other things planned hehe. Easter is a funny occasion in terms of cards isnt it, we all seem to give eggs but I dont think I have ever had an easter card in my whole life given to me, and I am 44. hmm
Hope you have a great Sunday
Hugs Kim xxx
Sounds like you have had a lot going on so no wonder things go a bit awry sometimes Kim, and anyway it is such a lovely card I'm sure we didn't mind waiting an extra day. I love the colours you have used and even with just those two stamps you have achieved something really special. I simply adore that gorgeous ribbon and the gold ribbon rose on top, which matches beautifully with the plum card you have used in the background, and also the pretty card twirls and extra pearls and flourish. As I was one of the last winners of a card, and thank you again for receipt of that, please leave me out of the draw this time. Hope you have a good weekend. x
ReplyDeleteHi Pat.
DeleteThere is always a lot going on haha.
Thank you so much for your kind words and not worrying about an extra day, your very generous. Thank you for that.
Nooo I could never leave anyone out of the card draws, I use a random number generator and dont comment til after the draw purposely so its all fair and square and everyone who is good enough to leave me a comment goes in. you are all welcome.Kim xxx
Hi Kim and all ladies. Hohum these things happen Kim, dont worry, its called 'life'
ReplyDeleteFAB card Kim, soooo colourful.
June, congrats on your Anniversary tomorrow, hope you have a real lovely day. Wish I could get to Aly Pally : (
Sending hugs to you all.
Have a great weekend.

All I can say is "well worth waiting for" - it's a great card. I can see I'll have to get the "get well" stamp just for the bottom piece of it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Rose
Hi Rose
DeleteIt is a pretty stamp isnt it. Glad you like the card, hugs Kim xxx
Morning Kim, 'Better late than never' and as Rose (above) says 'well worth waiting for'. I adore this card, the triptych is stunning, loving the chalkboard effect. I adore the get well soon stamping and colouring, you always know which colours will go together perfectly. I love your compilation on this card, and the colours are stunning. I would love this card for my Craft Room.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately and sadly I won't be going to Ally Pally this time, I would have loved to watch you demo, but I am going to NEC next weekend, I have my sad face on at this present moment as I would have loved to go to Ally Pally !!
Have a lovely weekend. Bring back the sunshine , it was beautiful while it lasted !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteMissed this one yesterday , so you must have posted after I had looked yesterday morning. How gorgeous is this card Kim. I just love how you have used the colours on the card. Wish I could get the snow cap ink, but everywhere seems to have had a run on it.
Hi Pat
DeleteI am like that with distress markers, I cant get the tub of distress markers any where on decent price only places with ridiculous prices have them just now. If i see one i will pick it up for you.
Big hugs
Kim xx
