I can't believe two weeks have passed since my last post and my good intentions of blogging more regularly have not happened. I have been making some Easter cards, I don't send many, just a few to family and a few crafting friends. I made several similar to this one, with just different colours, and I chose this one to show you as I liked the pink tulips best. The stamp is from Stamping Up and was borrowed from a friend. The base card is cut from ivory linen textured cardstock, A6 size. I coloured the tulips with Derwent Coloursoft pencils which looks really rubbish on the textured card, until the colours are blended with Sansoda and a paper stump. This has the effect of pushing the colour into the texture yet allowing the texture to show through. The card was finished with some green silk ribbon and three tiny green pearls.
As promised in my last post I have a
picture of my finished crocheted
Moorland blanket. It is made with an
Attic 24 kit available from the Wool
Warehouse. It represents the Yorkshire moors on a summer day with grass and moss in the foreground blending into the heathery distance and up to the blue skies, and is worked in a wavy stitch pattern to represent the undulating landscape. I have enjoyed making it and am pleased with the way it turned out, and it will make a nice cosy extra layer on cold nights next winter.
I am going to enter my card at

What a beautiful blanket. Just what I need in winter when snuggled up on the couch with a good book. I love that card - it is such a beautiful image and sentiment isn't it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with us at Crafting with Dragonflies.
ReplyDeleteYour tulips image is so pretty and you have made it into a lovely card...but...your crochet work steals the show. Oh my goodness, Jean! You are very talented. I love that style of crocheted blankket and your colours are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDo you live in Yorkshire. We have family in Sheffield, Filey, Scarborough and Hull. We try to get over every few years and are long overdue. Health reasons have set our trip back a bit...
Lovely work. Thank you for joining the challenge at Crafting with Dragonflies. Hope to see you again next time.
