WOYWW 772

 Happy Wednesday, deskers.  Another week flew by and it's time to meet up with Julia again  for WOYWW . Sending lots of love to fellow desker Sarah. Our collective thoughts are with you. 

it was a card making time at the weekend, couple of work birthdays coming up...

this one used the Paperartsy Mattints to colour.  
and some paints for the stencilling on this one. 















Kew was beautifully sunny on Saturday - it makes such a difference! 

 



and here's me hiding in the magnolias with my back to red head!  




thanks for stopping by, I will be round to catch your craft spaces soon.  Happy WOYWW

Our magnolia is starting to burst out so am looking forward to seeing it full. It was lovely the other week to look out onto the front garden and see all the colour that is starting to peep out, the crocus Tete a tetes, grape hyacinths all bringing colour at last.
Love the cards, especially the bottom one
Have a good week

Hi Helen, Lovely Kew pics, bet you're looking forward to the better weather though it's good to see how the gardens change in any time of the year. Loving the cards too. Hope your day is a happy woyww one. Hugs Angela x5x

I keep saying that I need to schedule a cardmaking session or pretty soon I will be forced to buy cards LOL! Oh the shame of it all. I really must snap a photo of our magnolia to share but I fear it might already be waning. I seem to miss it every year!
Happy WOYWW!

Two lovely cards Helen, love the vibrancy of the second. As youngest Son said yesterday when he rang, let's not talk about you know what!

I like all the birds flying on your cards, you must have had Spring on your mind and yes, the photos confirm that! Love your red hair too! Happy woyww, hug from Holland. Marit #11

Magnolias seem to be soooo wonderful this year, the warmer winter has helped I think.
Love your cards, great ideas.
Have a good week

Hi, Helen!

Both cards are very nice! I love the soft backgrounds on the layers of card #1.

Your nature pics are so pretty!

Love the pic of you hiding in the Magnolias! A flower among flowers! Your cards are lovely, I especially like the birds! I'm glad you liked my 4X4's, I'm making a few more! Sorry I'm late this week, I have a tiny window today where I can look at everyone's blogs! Have a great week, Lindart #19

Somehow it feels like I haven’t been away from my “desk” at all…. I’ve missed seeing your lovely photos ❤️

That was me, Morti - for some reason I’m having problems with Blogger anonymising my comments! Yikes.

Oh I have those card blanks too, not great for men's cards thought LOL. Love the second one, I love bright colours. Nearly missed you in the magnolia, cool photo. Hugs BJ#9
