Flowers it is always a delight to see flowers in gardens and the different flowers for different seasons. Snowdrop don't you use love these delightful little bell flowers swaying on delicate stems. The combination of Blue and Green such an exciting vibrant colour pair, think plant earth! Papercrafting well lets face it we all enjoy stamping cutting gluing and making don't we?
This is an old polymer stamp from I think Dimension Forth, a business no longer in existence. They had a fantastic range of different images and I just love these Snow Drops. Stamped in green onto white card and then very very carefully fussy cut with both knife and scissors. This is an image that being so seasonal only comes out once or twice a year the rest of the time I'm thinking about it and wondering how next to use it. This really is one of my favourite stamps.
So this is a combination of some of my favourite things.
Dark blue mat cut to fit main image, fancy corners punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The pale blue card stock has a coated surface so you cannot easily stamp on it. I did make some marks on the card each side of the topper but deciding that they were not right covered them with green organza ribbon tied in bows.
One of the challenges I'm entering is AYLI and they want to know why favourite person to create for is this person. The simple act of making a card with any of my special people in mind is one of the greatest pleasures there is. My brother is the favourite, he like me is single and lives alone. Unlike me he is not all that sociable and I know that my cards give him a lot of pleasure and are often left on display long after the event. Sharing some of my favourite things with him like those in this card is something brothers and sisters can do.

Now the weekend lies ahead, F1 season finished for the year. Christmas next week and then a New Year full of promise that it will be kinder to us than 2020 has been. Then think back to 1918/19 that pandemic was harsher than this one has been thanks to all the scientific advances made since then. Stay Safe, Keep Well, Wear your mask (I just had to at the hairdressers), HAVE FUN.
