WE LOVE STAMPING

the theme has been chosen by our lovely Alice and it is

SPRING

I decided to go a bit off Piste with the colours but I have used one of my my beloved Tilda stamps this one is Tilda with Tulips, coloured with Spectrum Noir and Copics, I used my dies for the stepper card and the frames, I used a sentiment from an Easter freebie stamp set from a few years ago the 'papers' are actually card stock that I have had for many moons and desperately wanted to use it I loved the colours and the imagery that I thought would suit this time of year, 

  

I would like to enter this card into the challenges at

I want to thank you all for your kind comments on the sad news of my mum's neighbour passing away, she was in her 90's but such a lovely lady, loved by so many people she had a nickname 'Snooks' I know that my brother and I will miss her a lot, I did cut her lawn for her yesterday as, like my mum, loved her garden more so since I took over the planting and digging I just wanted to let her know that it would not be left to go to ruin.

I do hope that you will come join us at
