Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends. Followers  and Visitors

Hope my little blog find you all ok and able to cope with the weather.  Some

of you must be experiencing some serious conditions and I hope you are

all keeping safe and warm.

In my part of the world (Cheshire) its not too bad at present. We have it cold

but lovely sunshine in the daytime, you could be forgiven for thinking its

spring , that is until you go outside.

Once again I must extend a very warm welcome to my new followers, I am

excited when I see that another visitor  has decided to join my little band and

I hope I can keep you all entertained and maybe, just maybe give you some

inspiration along the way.

DETAILS

1. 8 x8 white card stock and to this I have added a piece of

silver mirri board that has been embossed with one of the

new Tattered Lace folders- the name is ALL OVER FLOURISH.

2. Before adhering to the card I wrapped a piece of lace around

the mirri board.

3. The image is one of  Norma J Burnell's and she is called

                 Firefly and I have coloured her with pro markers and used glitter

             on her wings and on the fireflies. Then it was die cut using SB

    Regal Frame. The edges have be inked using Versa Magic

 Purple Hydrangea.

4. I layered the image on an angle onto three paper dollies

before attaching to the card and attached Lilac flowers 

from my stash down one side.

To complete I added the sentiment that I again inked with Purple  Hydrangea and

there you have it ! Sorry  the picture quality is not so good but I could not

brighten it anymore because of the refection from the mirri board.

Well my dear friends, that is it for me today, hope to see

you all again tomorrow as it will be my inspirational  DT post

for Penny's Paper Crafty that starts at Noon tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Dragonfly

Good Morning My crafty friends, followers and visitors

Yes it's me again two days in a row WOW must be getting my head round things

at last.  I do aim to blog everyday but one reason or another it never seems to

happen but I think I have enough makes to blog each day this week.

Well I hope you are all well and having a good day so far.

Off to mums today then doctors this afternoon, Hopefully be able to do a little

more crafting later (fingers crossed)

DETAILS

1.  Card base is 5 x7 fancy edged cream card.

To this I have added a piece of lilac ( I know it looks blue)

patterned paper.

           2. The image is from the Norma J Burnells collection and is

      called Mid Summer Dragonfly and I have coloured her 

  using my pro markers, then added glossy accent to 

the flowers, her eyes and the dragonflies wings

 I have then die cut her using SB die Labels Twenty

   Isn't she just adorable?

3. Using lilac satin card I cut another die using the 

same SB die, cut in in half and placed each

piece at either end of the image.

4. I then took more of the lilac  card stock and cut a

border using the Tattered Lace die Trellis Border.

5. With silver  ribbon I threaded it along the border

die before adhering to the card.

To finish off I took some dragonflies that I had in my

stash and used clear gems to enhance them. I added

a bow with a silver  and gem centrepiece.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will call again very soon

Until then

As Always
