OMW what’s with people and shopping – it’s still 2 months to Christmas and people are already grumpy and crowding the shops! I had to go through to Ikea yesterday afternoon and wish I hadn’t bothered. People are so RUDE, and “lady” (I use this term VERY loosely!) with big time shopping trolley rage in Ikea, if you read this you should be ashamed. There was a young mum with a buggy trying to get through self closing doors and before I could get there to hold the door open to help her this miserable woman barged through with her trolley, almost knocked the young mum and her buggy over and never even looked back to see if she was okay! I hope her flipping trolley wheels fell off miles from anywhere and she had to go fetch another, then I hope when she got back to her car all 4 tyres were flat grrrrr!!!! Now I know why I absolutely loathe shopping in any form, and if I can’t order it on line from now on I am going to do without!
Rant over aaaaah that feels better lol, so now on to today’s card which is another of those uber yummilicious Wee Stamps from Whimsy Stamps that I did for their magazine issue 4. Now isn’t she just stunning! The detail, right down to those little bells is just amazing. She is called Silver Fairy and you can grab her from Dies to Die For
The paper is Memory Box Gossamer, not sure if it is still available anywhere though as I got mine last year. I threaded some sparkly tulle through a ribbon slider buckle from Wild Orchid Crafts. And natch all the flowers are from WOC too: 25mm wild roses, 15mm roses, cherry blossoms, 20mm rose. The leaves have been punched with a Martha Stewart Frond Branch punch.
The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamps set. I added lashings of Glamour Dust to her wings and it’s really picked up the sparkle in the tulle. I popped a Tim Holtz clock die cut behind the image.
Enjoy your Sunday
hugs
You rant away girl...some people are just plain rude...she was lucky I wasnt there...my mouth goes so quick before my brain can function...my kids say one day it will get me into so much trouble..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Bev, love the image and her wings look beautiful.
Luv CHRISSYxx
These colours are stunning, one of my fav combinations! really fab...
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean some people are so rude in shops, pushing and shoving...! Grrrrr too !!
Anyway fab card, trace x
очень красиво
ReplyDeleteOh Bev, this is so beautiful. I love the blue so much! You made your angel so beautiful. ugghh, know what you mean about people being so rude. Christmas is supposed to be joyous, but some folks are just mean and miserable. I worked at Walmart through Christmas a few times and little old ladies were ready to whip anyone who gets in their way. I would be ashamed to act that way! I like you don't like to shop at Christmas, it seems to make people downright mean! I guess look at them and say "Have a nice day" and Smile and kill them with kindness...easier said than done!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you felt, and I´m the same. I just simply hate to go shopping. I just don´t know, what is happening to people, when they go out to shop, it´s almost like they leave their brain at home on the kitchencounter, when they leave home LOL. I worked in a huge supermarket for many years, and I honestly think, I have met them all during my time there, and it´s relaly sooo many people, who gets completely crazy, as soon as they walk into a store, and I never understood, why people, who´s normally pretty nice persons suddenly turns too be really nasty and mean individuals, but they sure do. Today I rather don´t go shopping, and most times only go once a month to shop all my nesecary groceries all at once, and it´s a huge relief everytime I´m on my way home and can say thanks god, now there´s another month, before I need to do this again LOL.
ReplyDeleteWell when this is said, you have made the most awesome card hun and I soo love it, but it´s also blue he he he. Stunning work as always hun.
Ohhh my... she is just to beutiful... :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always!!
ReplyDeleteI really do need to know more about this Glamour Dust though!! What is it, how do you use it??? I have tons of glitter, but I've never had it look like yours does. It's just fabulous and I need help please, lol!!
Oh poor Bev!!! I'm with you girlfriend.. I hate shopping and crowds with a vengence... and clothes shopping is my number one pet hate!
ReplyDeleteStunning, stunning card
Hugs
Tracy
Such a gorgeous card. Thanks for sharing. Julia.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is only at Christmas, all year round, People are just becoming totally inconsiderate of others. There...that's my cents worth....Love your card, my fav. colours. That image is too gorgeous...I wasn't buying any more stanps this year....not so sure now. Have a great Sunday
ReplyDeleteJust been to have a look and Silver Fairy is out of stock at the moment. Julia.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, I always picture you as a very sweet, super creative, dog loving lady but now I've seen another Bev!!! You are sooo right and I don't like shopping in whatever form either. But being from Holland I must say that in general the people in the UK are much more polite and friendly ...so if you want to be realy upset...come here!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous as always!
Have a happy Sunday, Irene
I'm the same, hate the shops, much easier to browse from the comfort of my puter with a nice hot drink in hand. Yummy card Bev, love the glimmer on the wings. Nice papers and colour combo too.

Ohh Bev,
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous as ever!
I think people have become more selfish lately and they really don't bother about others! I think the solution is to be creative ;-) : I never see this selfishness with creative people!!!
Have a nice day and stay creative!
Greetings Wilma

ReplyDeleteMyrax
Bev - you rant away. I walk with a stick and the number of times people have nearly knocked me over in their haste to get somewhere is just unbelievable. I won't go near a supermarket and do all that online, and virtually anything else I can.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card - just love it. I bought this recently but she is not inked up yet.
Hugs
Valxx
You rant away Bev - I'm so with you on this. Folk have become so self-centered when out shopping and it makes me so cross. There are places I never go to now unless I plan well in advance to try and avoid the crowds.
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunning - the image looks amazing and how could I not love it when you have used some of my favourite colours.
Toni xx
A goreous card Bev. I just bought this cute stamp but haven't made anything with it yet. Thanks for the fantastic inspiration! I also know what you mean about rude people, I hate it to go anywhere were it's so busy, people just don't seem te care about each other now adays.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Marlies
I just love your silver fairy Bev and the gorgeous colours you chose to do her in.
ReplyDeletePeople are so bloomin RUDE out there Bev. Trouble is some allow them to be, when people do put them in their place, we end up being the one in the wrong!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just beautiful x

ReplyDeleteShe is absolut gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Yvon
Rant on! I do as much shopping as I can on line. Because they are miserable, they try to make others miserable as well. More important, this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is just plain rude that woman, I can imagine the need to rant about this. Great card there, love the colors and the image! Have a great sunday! Hugs, Hanneke
ReplyDeleteHi Bev,
ReplyDeleteI visit you every week and just drool over your amazing artwork (they are not just cards!) but just had to comment today!
I did giggle at your rant! I could almost feel your tension and know all too well how frustrating shopping is. As someone who (on a good day) just has a stick to help I am seemingly painted with invisible paint when I go shopping! I wont bore you with how awful people are when Im in a scooter!! lol!
Beautiful card and I totally love the turquoise shades youve used here! Its just stunning!
Keryn x

ReplyDeleteI tend to shop online more and more as I start hating o go from one shop to another...what a rude lady and what a sad story, but this happens more often I think...sadly! :(
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning Bev!! I simply LOVE this image and I want to have it, too!!!! It is so great to colour and you did such a fantastic job! Oh, I love that card!!!!
Martina
OMG, your card is simply sublime!!! I love your colouring and all the sparkles!!!

Rant away; I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that people's manners very often leave a lot to be desired - there's an awful lot of ME, ME, ME - so sad.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your card is Gorgeous - absolutely lovely, love the image.... keep smiling :)

I guess it feels a little bit better now!! I agree!! Those kind of people ... I do not wish any good for... I wish them bad carma.. and that everything goes wrong for them... I think all of us should be kind.. and nice to each other.. If everyone tried a tiny little bit... Then world would be a better place.. :o)
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely.. And i loved the glitter angelwings.. and the rhinestone bucle with the Luxurious bow... Stunning!! :o)
Big hug from me to you!! :o)

ReplyDeleteYour cards is stunning.
Marie-Anne
Just gorgeous! I love this stamp!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do all my Christmas shopping online too but my boys need clothes and they need to try them on. I don't enjoy shopping with all the angry shoppers either. i thought that the holidays were supposed to be a HAPPY time of year... what's up with all the grumpiness? At least your beautiful card made me forget all about it. ;)
Beautiful as always, your color choice is great :) Sandra H
ReplyDeleteGlad you vented~cuz it does help:)
ReplyDeleteYour silver fairy card is STUNNING!! I just love those colors--kinda using them alot myself :)
Hugz
Oh this stunning Bev, the image is just gorgeous and I love the colours too :)
ReplyDeleteI've taken to doing all my shopping online these days, I just can't stand the big shops anymore, people can be so rude!
Kelly.x
Oh dear Bev, has the Christmas shopping rage begun already!!! I loathe it when it gets like that and it makes me real mad also!!! I do 99% of my shopping online now mainly because of arthritis/spine pain, BUT also because I just hate shopping cos people can be SO rude and ignorant, and they never have what you want in stock!
ReplyDeleteWowzer this card is gorgeous Bev! I love the paper and that shade of aqua/turquoise with the brown! Gorgeous image and embellishments and love her glittery wings. Beautiful card!
Hope you have a good Sunday!
Hugs Sue xx
Aw ! Just fantastic card ! I love this image, so sweet !
ReplyDeletexxx
Just beautiful!! What a lovely fairy and how sparkling she is. Amazing Bev!
ReplyDeleteHugs,Esther
It's getting to be about that time that I don't want to be anywhere near the stores, ugh.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous! I love the shade of blue that you used, the image is beautiful, and I love the shimmer!
Gorgeous card Bev I have made one with this fairy too she is one of my favourites love the colour combo you have used huggies june xxxx
ReplyDeleteSome people can be so rude; I have 3 kids under the age of 5 and getting through a door can be a challenge sometimes. There is always the nice people that hold the door so that I can get through with the kids and pushing the stroller and then the people that can't wait for me to get out the way. Anywho glad I have over half of my Christmas shopping done; Yay for me:0)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Bev; love that image with her oh so sparkly wings! And that buckle is just perfect touch with the tulle. Awesome colors too!
Hugs;
Janette
Love yourcard, colours paper and all. Isn't it a shame that the rude people are always the ones that stand out more and more.Your rant is justified so rant away. We all feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteloved your rant Bev, people can be shockingly rude sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your card, beautiful colouring and all the detail is sooo lovely x
Just stunning Bev, absolutely takes my breath away!
ReplyDeleteI hate shopping for the same reason...hysterical post though...thanks for the laugh. It's nice to know that I am not the only one who gets aggravated at other peoples' ignorance and lack of compassion. I stopped by when I heard at a friend's blog that someone had 4000 followers. THAT IS AMAZING!!! Congratulations on such an awesome achievement. Your card is fantastic and I love what you have done with Silver Fairy. Whimsy is a favorite site of mine. I am surprised I am just now finding your blog. Better late than never!
ReplyDelete:O)
Jessica
Bev, I'm with you on the shopping thing too. If I can't find it online I really don't need it, although I had to buy some food but the people are crazy and it isn't even a full moon yet. I love this card! I was really hoping you would tell us what colors you used on this beautiful lil' girl. I think she came out perfect! Please tell me what you used. Thanks, Mimi
ReplyDeleteI am so totally with you on the shopping. I've never liked it and the crowds and rude people just make it worse.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so lovely. I just love how you colored the image, I almost thought that was a real bell hanging from her wing. Lol.
Beautiful card Bev, your colouring is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHugs Jacqueline
An amazing card, Bev! Your colouring is just fantastic, so is your choise of colours too! Love it:) Hugs Kjersti
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is wrong with people these days, they have no respect for other people..I agree with you hope all of her tires were flat.lol Your card is absolutely beautiful. I love the blue colors.. I so look forward to your blog everyday.

Beautiful image and stunning card. Diane xx
ReplyDeleteI so agree Bev, I hate shopping as well and at this time of year its even worse - thank goodness for the internet says I lol Your card is beautiful - LOVE this colour scheme as you do it soooooooooo well xx
ReplyDeleteHi Bev,
ReplyDeleteRant away, if I was there the rude 'lady' would have known she was very uncivilized and impolite!!
I think that people are more rude nowadays than 20 to 30 years ago. I don't know what happened in those years .... Hurray for the internet!!! Shopping online has become my favorite activity.
Your card is gorgeous as always, love the sparkly tulle, looks really great!!
Hugs Yolanda
OMG, your card is drop dead gorgeous! Love the colors, your coloring and that sweet image! And sorry you ran into some bah humbug people when shopping!
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that so many people are forgetting basic manners (or perhaps never learned them). How nice that you were trying to help the young mother despite the crowds. Just keep on being you and don't let these rude people destroy your day.
ReplyDeleteLove the card!
Incredible, magic card! It's so shining! Very beautiful stamp!
