Thinking Of You

Hi everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I would like to start off by apologising for my lack of visiting and commenting on your blogs recently. I am having a few problems with my neck, shoulders and hands but I have been to physio and am exercising as instructed and hope to be back to normal soon......whatever normal is!!!!!
I haven't been making as many cards lately and have been having a spot of bother with typing but I'm getting there slowly....Thank you for sticking with me and all your lovely comments even though I haven't been round to see you all much.
I made this card today and I wanted it to be fairly clean and simple.

I'm quite happy with how it turned out but I was tempted to keep adding things but had to stop myself.
The papers are from my scraps box....(I'm getting good at using up the bits and pieces).....it's about time though. The ribbon and pearls are from The Hobby House and the butterfly is a die cut which I cut from some glittery orange card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

The Harbour Master

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well and this awful rain isn't causing you too much trouble.
It's my day off  today and it's raining.....AGAIN!!!!! so after doing all my jobs and running errands I holed myself up in my little craft den and attacked my list of DT cards that I had to do, listening to the Bee Gees (Polly....that's your fault).....and I even had time to read a few chapters of 'That' book too (well I wanted to know what all the fuss was about).
Anyway I also have a card to share too.....
 
This image is one of five that I picked up....(I just had to have them you see). This one is called The Harbour Master by Michael Powell. For years I've gone to stitching shows and admired his designs in needlework but now I can stamp these images out to my hearts content.
I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are Best Of British from Docrafts. The pearls and the helm charm are from The Hobby House. The trim at the bottom of the card is from Bo Bunny, I've had it for years.....it was part of a scrapbooking kit that I never used.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~
