Things with wings at Fab'n' Funky


 Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Fab'n' Funky, my turn to host this fortnight - I chose the theme of Things with Wings, a chance to play with my lovely Lavinia stamps and stencils. As you can see it's a very simple design using the double stencil technique (apologies for the tipsy photo!) a fairy stamp and a sentiment. There's plenty more to see over at Fab'n' Funky - my lovely teamies have created some beautiful cards- as always.

We got back from our holiday yesterday- it was a very long day -up at 4 am to catch our flight so I'm still feeling a bit tired today, although it was lovely to sleep in my own bed. We had a wonderful time, visited some beautiful places - and enjoyed the sunshine (except for Monday, our last day when it rained most of the day!) We met some lovely people too- everyone on our tour was so friendly. 

Marvin was very good for our sitter, which was a huge relief. She said her missed us and needed lots of cuddles- his cuddles are very enthusiastic and a bit rough but she didn't mind! He gave us a very enthusiastic welcome yesterday!!!

Thanks for visiting today

So pleased you have a good holiday Chris, funny much as we look forward to them it's always nice to get home to our own beds. And pleased Marvin was OK.

You call your card simple but there lots of pretty elements and the balance just right, the Fairy is one I just might need, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge this week.

Gorgeous card Chris. Wonderful blends of blues and greens and I must look up the double stencil technique as it looks so pretty. Happy to hear you had a good vacation but most of all that Marvin was a good boy. xx
