I quite enjoyed making the card this evening, my ex-brother in law and his girlfriend had a baby girl last week, Gracie. Poor Sophie had a difficult time of it and I can empathise with that.
So I enjoyed making the new family a card to celebrate.
The challenge from Natty was from the prompt jar. Peach, Layers, Flowers. This threw me a bit as they aren’t my favourite things. Good old Dear Lizzy Neopolitan came to the rescue.
Welcome Gracie Hart, let the fun and mischief begin.
So Shakespeare. Hmmm well I have a really random quote from the middle of a longer verse. I love that you can google Shakespeare and a word, in this case ‘peach’ from the card challenge, and you can come up with something.
“Then is there here one Master Caper, at the suit of Master Three-pile the Mercer, for some four suits of peach coloured satin, which now peaches him a beggar.” Measure For Measure Act 4 Scene 3.
I like that I know a little bit more about Measure For Measure and look forward to reading it, that will be a while off yet though, I have others I want to read and re-read first. I have started on Macbeth today, although many interruptions prevented me getting very far!
It shall be Terry Pratchett at bedtime though 
I love the sentiment on your card:). I'm afraid I didn't understand the Shakespeare quote;(. Perhaps it's just too late at night to be thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteNor me really Susi, I don't think I shall try so hard to link it to the card challenge in future. Just whatever I have learned that week about him!
ReplyDeleteOooh that is some lovely peach-ness there - what a lush card. :D
