Here is my card
This card is one of a batch l have made for this year
Postage was so expensive last year so a lot
Of flatter cards are going in the post even though
Some of the others wasn't built up too much
Using the stamp l stamped straight onto the card
l actually went over the faded area with a black pencil 
Just to make it stand out that little bit darker
Coloured Holly & Ivy with  Derwent pencils 
long time since l have coloured anything 
A lot of my images are now pre-coloured
But l have to admit l really enjoyed doing it
So might just do more colouring its so therapeutic

Condolences to two dear friends

 Good Morning to all you fellow bloggers 
Its a wet Sunday morning in my neck of the woods
Just hope its not going to be wet all day 
Although it does seem a little warmer 
And the sun is trying its best to come out
Here is a card l have for 
Not a good start to the year 
l lost 2 very dear friends they where my daughters god parents
Both died with-in a week of each other
Not knowing either had died one in hospital and the other at home
Only one child and what a service he gave his parents
Even he said it was the best funeral he had attended 
How he managed is beyond any ones imagination
He truly gave his parents a great send off
l just hoped the card l made and the words where of comfort to him
This is my card l always use this image 
Thank you for your visit
