Isn't it strange how I HATE the commercialism of special days like Xmas, Mothers Day etc but I love making special cards for those days? I suppose in reality what I actually hate is the fact that many people don't appreciate the people in their lives and they should. Life is too short for them to be appreciated only on special days - I think I am having a reflective day as I have been thinking about my Dad after reading a buddy's blog yesterday and how I can't send him one of my cards - shame he never saw any of them as I didn't make cards back in 2000. He would have said what a waste of money those pens are - did you know the £shop has them for 10 for £!?!! PMs I am talking about here my friends not felt tip pens as he would have seen them.....
On a more positive note, my card for today is made using 3 colours I would never have imagined could work but hey they do I think. Baby Blue, Orangesicle and Basil - well my take on them I am afraid. Hard to read my sentiment on first pic but you get the jist...
This next pic is a close up of this older Saturated Canary rubber stamp I bought AGES ago from Funky Kits when they were originally released.
And finally the completed card - looking at it now on the screen the colours don't really match but in real life they look fab so apologies fro poor quality of pic.

Beautiful card Sheila. Colour combo works well. Hope to make this sketch soon. I understand about your dad as I made one for MIL and my Mum passed away before I started cards. I find it hard when its near mothers day. I often thought what she'll say about my cards.
