Not a good week....

Hello everybody, well as the title says, its not been a good week here. On Wednesday morning we received a phone call from our best friends to tell us that one of their 15 month old twins had died in his sleep. He was actually our godson. This has come as a massive shock to us all and we are all deeply upset especially as it happened only days after the 2nd anniversary of us losing our own precious little girl, Rebecca.

Sleep tight William, have fun playing with Rebecca xxx

So i've done what I do at times like this, and thrown myself into my card making. I have lots of family birthdays coming up in the next couple of months and I've had lots of orders too. I've made another cande, card and box for a lady's 60th Birthday and I'm really pleased with it. I'm sure she'll love it. I have used Kerry's tip of printing directly onto the tissue paper and decided to use a pink petticoat image instead of a stamped image. For the same lady, I was asked to make a card from her best friend. She loves Wimbledon and Cliff Richard for some reason! Personally I cant stand him but each to their own. Anyway I found an image of him on the internet and decided to greyscale the image so I could put some more feminie colours with it.
And finally, this one was a bit of a challenge. The breif was, "its for my son's 40th birthday and he likes Indian curry's and drinking beer". I couldnt find anything embellishments for a curry funnily enough! and whilst doing an google image search I found a temple image which I thought might be somewhere to start. I dont like this card, its certainly not one of my best, but it is what she asked for!
It was my 5th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday 6th, and this is the card I made for my husband. I've used a pink petticoat image and have embossed it with a gold tinsel embossing powder, the only time i've ever used it! but was really pleased with how it sparkles!
