Blogger seems to have added a few underlines and bold text, don't know why.
I had a phone call this morning to let me know my dear cousin has passed on, he was 88 he went quietly in his sleep, which was wonderful to know he hadn't suffered.
Around the same time I had a follower email post from "baileyrosey" (Marie from Greece), Here in it was a sketch for a card and as I had to make one for my cousin's daughter, I decided to follow it.
This is the result, the papers are Krafty Florals from Gina Cabrera at Digital Designs Essentials the text paper is by Linda Tieu at BackToPaper. I cut the flourish by Krewellakreations twice and joined them in the middle to get it stretched as in the sketch. I added pearls from Crafts-Too. The centre paper I added a brush flourish in PS to match the cut flourish.
Last weekend we had a wedding in the street, well not literally in the street, but the bride lives in the street, no, she doesn't live in the street but in a house in the street, now I expect you are totally confused. Anyhow, as she had a horse and carriage to take her to church, I was well placed to take some pictures of her passing our house - THEN - 2 cars stopped in front of me and these were all I could get, but I thought it too pretty to not show you. 
We had a pigeon in the garden who looked like he was too fat to fly, how he got up in the air I don't know, here he is. He could hardly walk. I was thinking of dinner when I saw him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I think that is all for today, enough! I hear you say! Apart from hasn't it been a wonderful couple of days for Team GB. So exciting. I can't over we have had medals that we haven't had for over 100 years, fantastic.

ReplyDeleteThat's one beautiful carriage, the stuff dreams are made of :0) Have a great week my friend, hugs Gay xxx
Very nice sympathy card. Sorry you've had sad news. WOW - super carriage! Let's hope the marriage is fairy tale too. xxx
ReplyDeleteSorry about your cousin Faith but the card is lovely. Super photos but I think that pigeon could do with a visit to weight watchers !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I love the soft grays, and the different patterns as well as that beautiful scroll! I love the carriage. What a delightful way for a bride to go to her wedding. The first thing I thought when I saw that pigeon was that it was big enough for a meal. Not that I would ever eat one. But he is a big fella!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Simply Create Too for Challenge #19 - "Anything Goes". Your daffodil card is so pretty--I know it brought comfort to your cousin's daughter in her difficult time--to lose a parent is so hard!
ReplyDeleteYour wedding pictures are wonderful--will you do a scrapbook page/book for the couple? Your great pix would be wonderful in it
