Two Cards and a Teabread

The card stash was getting low and I have a very brave and stoic friend who'll be undergoing a horrible operation next week.... time for more carding.   I themed them around a couple of current challenges.



  Panel coloured with dusters using Memento inks
Stamps - Hobby Art, Memory Box and magazine freebies (gift from friend Sue)
Dragonfly die cut - from Sue


Blossom - CASology
Whoops!  Looks like I missed the boat with this challenge which closed earlier today.

 All stamps - again from Sue
Vase - heat embossed and decoupaged onto cardstock panel
 Cherry blossom coloured with watercolour pencils, liquid pearls added for texture.

 I'm busy today just pootling around at home.  I had this tea bread in the oven shortly after nine this morning and later, after my weekly dash around Aldi I grabbed myself a slice and a cuppa.


Mmmm, not half bad for a Weight Watchers recipe.

After a miserable start the weather has turned bright so I'm planning to spend the afternoon in the garden tackling the weeds, unwanted deposits from the neighbour's cat and general detritus resulting from the effects of winter.  Wahey...I know how to live!

 What are you up to?

  6. You've been very productive for a pottering kind of day. I'd gladly join you for a slice of that tea bread, I'm ravenous after missing breakfast to go booting.
    The cards are gorgeous, hope your friend's operation goes well. xxx

  9. Your cards are so beautiful, and so much nicer than a mass produced bought one. That tea bread looks divine and I bet it smelled and tasted divine too. Weeding and unwanted cat gifts, yeah you certainly know how to have a good time!!

  10. I've never made tea read. Do you toast it? Or have it with butter or jam?

  11. These are so pretty, and bound to warm someone's heart, you are a talent Fiona.
    For myself I'm still spring cleaning, you complete one thing and another presents itself. But why didn't I think to make a loaf for after?
