We all need a riesling …

Anything Goes Embossing with a twist of VINES / GREENERY

When I saw this challenge yesterday my mind immediately thought wine. Earlier I pulled out a folder by Darice, called Swirly vines and embossed a pale green panel and a white circle. I went over panel with a green ink and using the debossed side of the circle added some Twisted Citron. The stamps are from a new YNS set that is quite a fun one and I stamped the glass onto white scrap CS then die cut. Used watercolour pencils to colour. Stamped the sentiment on another scrap piece and cut it the size I wanted. Set everything aside to go eat some lunch.

Before coming back to my craft room, a friend who was here finishing off the exterior paint touchups, came inside looking very shocked. He had just heard that a mutual old friend of ours, who had moved to Regina some years ago, had died along with 20 cats in a massive housefire. We don’t know any details of how or why, but you can imagine the shock. Needless to say, now I need a real drink!

To keep myself busy, I finished the card and decided to post it before going to do something else. My hubby is at our boat putting on the winter canvas and he is going to be equally shocked when I relay this news to him. James, the friend who died, was a very good vet, and saved our first dog’s life on my 40th birthday. We all missed him when he moved away, now we will miss him even more.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. So very sorry about the horrific housefire which took the life of your dear friend, James and the cats.  I guess he was the Vet who attended to Mica although I could be wrong.  Very sad about James and the cats.I have tried to reply to some of your Lavender House creations but to no avail.  Cannot seem to send the comments. I do enjoy them all and loved the hedgehogs and wintery Christmas, etc., and this latest one about the Riesling.  So much detail and work goes into these cards.Hugs from Brenda.Sent from my Galaxy

    1. Thank you Lisa. Still trying to process the news. Part of me wants to know details and another part keeps pushing it away.

  8. Your card is quite fun. Using both the embossed and debossed sides of the folder and different shades of green is a beautiful way to highlight. I’m so sorry to hear about your friend.

  9. Oh no such a tragedy, Johanna, sad for your to learn about your friend. Sympathy to you and Derek. Glad you had a project to work on to keep your mind occupied. The swirly embossing folder was a great choice and I really like the debossed circle. The smile on the glass of wine is sweet.
