Primrose Day

Hello and welcome... tomorrow is my older sisters birthday it just so happens to be Primrose Day as well. My dad always used to say to  Anne ( my sister who is 5yrs older than me and a fabulous artist ... jealous? who moi?.... just a bit ..) that her birthday was also Primrose Day. I never gave this a second thought until I decided to google... this is from Wikipedia
Primrose Day is the anniversary of the death of British statesman and prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, on 19 April 1881.^[1] The primrose was his favourite flower and Queen Victoria would often send him bunches of them from Windsor and Osborne House. She sent a wreath of primroses to his funeral. On this day Disraeli's statue in Parliament Square, London is decorated with primroses, as is his grave in Hughenden, Buckinghamshire.
I then searched the Internet for a Primrose rubber stamp and found one  by Hobby Art. here's the card.... which  I am not too keen on.. 

 To be honest... this is the updated version

I cut out the leaves and shaped them to add more dimension

Here is the original

Now I'm thinking perhaps I should've left it alone....I know you lovely people will say which you prefer but I don't have time to redo it. I'm off to see Anne tomorrow. She lives a couple of hours away in a place called Warsop near Mansfield. Nottinghamshire. We used to have a lot of fun together, travelling around etc etc

but since she became ill with severe heart and lung problems, it has all been curtailed.... I miss our times together but when we do get together although less frequently we have a great time with many laughs.. especially when our younger sister, Eileen joins us.

Here she is the last time we spent a few days in North Wales, in fact in the same year (2007)  she was confined to a wheel chair... This photo was taken at the bottom of Mount Snowdon, North Wales. I made a srap book for her with all our escapades in glorious colour.. lol






Thank you for looking.
