Hi My Friends.
6 years ago today 03-03-16 at 22.22pm our beautiful Evelyn was born sleeping. The past 3 days have been a challenge.
1st March was Evelyn's due date, overnight 1st-2nd Evelyn passed away and that was confirmed after a frantic drive to get Claire to the hospital. Evelyn was born sleeping on the 3rd March.
I've been in contact with Claire all week not only because of the dreaded 3 days but Claire also has Covid, even though she has been triple jabbed she is really poorly. I can't go over to see her as I'm not driving because of my knee and she won't let me in case I catch it and jeopardize a cancellation for an earlier op. So it's only phone hugs.
I also found out today from Craig that he is also positive with Covid. It's the 1st day of him knowing he's positive and is feeling achy, a very sore throat and generally unwell and exhausted, he is also triple jabbed. So no visits from my family for a while 😢.
I made Evelyn this card today. I love the concept of the card but I was so disappointed with the fairy stamp. My 1st attempt was yesterday only to find out that my stamp had a fault. It has a fault by the arm and legs, it has a slight dent. So when I tried again today I had to ink the stamp on the plastic sheet it came on and press into the dent lightly with my fingers which erased most of the white line on her arm and leg and left white spaces that I had to colour in with black ink ink. After several attempts this was the best one. I've never done this kind of blending to create an atmospheric back ground but Thanks to Tracy at Lavinia stamps I am quite pleased with this finished card ( except for the faulty stamp. ) Anyway I hope you like it too, and I really must that new camera I keep talking about too.

Well that's all my very special cards made for February & March.
Take care of yourselves and try and stay Safe
Love & Big Hugs
