Shopping and cards

Been Christmas shopping today in Brighton with Del, Bel and MIL, made a reasonably good start which is just as well as its coming round very quickly! Managed to pop into Sussex Stationers, ESK and Poundland for some bargain craft shopping too lol
Had two cards to do when we got home, sadly a sympathy card for a family friend whose Wife passed away in the week and a Birthday card for a friend's elderly Father. I had a good idea what I wanted to do with the sympathy card - I was going to use a googled image for the lily but was lucky enough to find the 3d sticker in ESK! The man's birthday card I was completely stumped with - I've made cards for the same gentleman before and am running out of ideas! Finally came up with the idea of a "pyramaged" train image and I ended up really pleased with it! Funny how ideas suddenly seem to come from nowhere.... The sympathy card is made with pearlised card and both have silver card on, neither of which have scanned terribly well, added to my usual wonky scanning you can imagine they actually look better in real life!
