Blue & White

Happy Friday everyone!!

It's been a hard day for me today. It would have been my Mam and Dad's 38th Wedding Anniversary. We've, my brother and I, have spent some time trying to get their finances sorted out. My dad died 8 weeks ago today, and we're still getting letters from HMRC wanting money for a late returned tax return-which he didn't get. Apart from him being 72, and well into his retirement he had a stroke 2 and a half years ago and needed help to get out of the chair. The bank have messed up bank accounts, and were trying to say it was our fault, until I pointed out that I didn't do any of the inputting into the computer. Then finally, I had to phone the pensions agency, as my mam passed away and was still owed money a cheque came for my dad, which he obviously can't cash, I've already returned this once, aaarghh!!!

Well anyway, onto my card. I was so pleased when I saw today's challenge at Just Magnolia and hAnglar stAnglar, 'Blue and White', I got to use the image I used to do yesterdays tutorial, yay!

I've used a few scraps out of my box, they're from Magnolia and Pion. I've distressed all of the edges, and I was brave and used acrylic paint.

The flowers and ribbon are from Wild Orchid Crafts, so is the brad. I've used a doohickey border die.

I've stitched all of the edges, and added stickles and glamour dust to give it some sparkle.

As demonstrated in yesterdays tutorial, Tilda has been coloured with distress inks.


I'm going to go and have a few glasses of wine to celebrate my Mam's and Dad's anniversary.

Hugs,
