Birds of a feather!

Hello everyone, this card was made for my neighbour who kindly mowed my lawn for me over the weekend.

I have used antique linen, old paper and tea dye to colour the backgrounds and the image.  The feather on the background using a resist technique and as an embellishment are from the 'Free your imagination' set which you can buy from Visible Image.  The topper is  from Inkylicious, and the thank you which is nested on a spellbinders label die  is from Rob Addams. Enjoy the sunshine.  Till next time .....................

Dreaming???????????

Hi everyone, thank you for the lovely comments left on my posts - I really do appreciate it.

Today's little offering is again from Jem's Designs, this time from 'Yesterday's Dreams' and the image is called 'Dreaming'

I Started with the backing paper from the cd, then did a die cut from the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles and added the image.  The rose on the bottom right which I put a little bit of glitter on, and the butterfly on the top  right are also on the cd,  as is the sentiment.  I Finished the card off with some lace, pearls and gems which I had in my stash.

Hope you like it.  Till next time ..........................

Purple delight!

Thought I would do an easel card today using Jem's Designs 'Fancy Footwork' cd

The image is Orchid Steel:

I started with purple mirri card, then silver mirri card (which unfortunately has photographed more like gold!).  The topper is mounted onto purple glitter card.  I have put pearls and gems on the topper too.  The flowers are from Mei Flower and the base paper and sentiment are from the cd.

Enjoy the rest of your Bank Holiday weekend - till next time........................
