Another beauty

I have another card using one of the new images from LOTV. This is one of the coloured simply prints and is called Grace Beauty. The paper is Crafter's Companion vintage lace. I used a MFT stitched rounded square, Doohickey fence and Joy butterfly and flowers dies.

We all wait in anticipation for today's Government announcement though I think they will only tell us the order things will reopen, not when. I am most looking forward to a back massage, haircut, seeing friends and being able to go out for a meal.

 

Launch day

So yesterday I shared the simply print of Grace Wonder with you and today I have gone for more vibrant colours using the pencil sketch version and Copics. I added the pleats to her dress and actually found that easier to colour rather than just the dress. The papers are MFT. I used some old Prima flowers and a die I bought recently on Facebook from Tracey Payne who used to run the Crafteeze store. It is from The Scrap Man and is called magic plant 3. I thought it was rather a fun die.

That snow is still hanging around but it should be dry today though still very cold so off for a walk after breakfast. Sunday is usually a do as you please day so some crafting, a jigsaw, book and Netflix or Prime this evening after a homemade cottage pie and a bottle of wine. Cottage pie is a real favourite with us. I cook all the vegetables in it which means we can wash all the pans etc up whilst it is finishing off in the oven and then there is very little to wash up afterwards. Enjoy your Sunday x

 

Wonder

Tomorrow is launch day at LOTV for Grace and I have some exciting news for the fans of rubber stamps.  There will be a limited release of rubber stamps of Grace available to pre-order from 12 noon tomorrow on the Etsy store. Get in quick if you want them.

I have used the coloured simply print of Grace Wonder teamed with paper from the vintage lace collection from Crafter's Companion. I wanted lots of texture so browsed through some old stash and found the metal findings and purple lacy mesh. I also added some cheesecloth, wooden stars and star charms and pearls.  I used the MFT wonky stitched rectangle, Hunkdory Moonstone flower and leaf dies.

We still have plenty of snow hanging around as this week has been so cold with more snow showers. It started thawing a bit on Wednesday but nothing since then so the pavements just look messy with some clear and some covered in icy snow. Those of you in Scotland have had way more I know and much colder temperatures. I would like it all to go now please.

I was delighted to get a text from the NHS yesterday and have an appointment for my Covid jab on Tuesday. They are doing so well with the vaccinations that I am getting mine much quicker than I expected.

 

Grace Love

I have another of the lovely new images coming on Feb 14th from LOTV. This one is Grace Love and I used the standard digi rather than the pencil sketch version this time. I coloured her with Copics and paper pieced her dress and heart. The papers are MFT and I used a MFT stitched scallop border die along with a couple of leaf dies and Sue Wilson sweetheart flower dies.

I have some Birthdays coming up in March and have another order from the lady I have made several things for so lots to keep me busy. I will get round to some scrapbooking soon too.

 

Be Kind

 

I have another sneak peek for you today of the new digis launching on 14th Feb at LOTV. This one is the pencil sketch of Grace Kindness which I coloured with Copics. I really love making this style of card using different textures. The papers are Maja denim and girls. The sentiment is part of a new set launching with Grace.

I added some cheesecloth, crimped a piece of kraft card and added diecut birds, birdhouses and hearts. I am doing well on my blog this month so far, one a day for the first four days and I have another scheduled for tomorrow. Wonder how long this will last 😀.

 

Sneak peek of Grace

Feb 14th sees the next launch from Lili of the Valley. There are 7 digi stamps, 7 pencil sketch digis, sentiments, little extras and words.  I used the pencil sketch of Grace Beauty and coloured her with Copics. I love the sketchy style and added a sentiment using the new word set. The paper is Crafter's Companion vintage lace. 

I used several things on this card which are products I have had for ages and used to use a lot on cards. I like the contrast of the metal with the soft image. I used raffia lace, charm, metal pins, metal corner and flowers from Wild Orchid.

Well here we are the start of another week in lockdown and the start of a new month. So pleased that hubby has an appointment to be vaccinated on Friday. Hoping they get down to my age group soon as I will be in the next batch. His appointment is sooner than expected so they must have got through the older people quickly in this area as we have several friends in the 70-75 age group who have theirs this week too.
