The sun is shining



What a difference a couple of weeks makes with the weather. Today the sun is really warm on my back as I type this and such a contrast to the recent minus temperatures and snow. The bulbs are starting to come through and on Marshall's walk yesterday we passed a garden full of lilac crocii - so pretty! So, I was inspired to leave drab winter colours and create something pretty. The background paper is sprayed with pink taffy glimmer mist, the flower ( from EI) stamped onto white and cut out then painted with a fuschia inktense pencil. I added a bit of glitter and hey presto! Thanks for looking

New Butterfly stamps


Elusive Images are bringing out a new range of butterfly collage stamps which I think are gorgeous! The background butterflies on this card are on acetate and the image is stamped onto hand made paper and coloured with chalk pencils. The ribbon was from a chocolate box at Christmas - recycling is the way to go!



The blue card has images from the daisy butter-fly collage set. This card is by way of a thank you to a friend giving us tremendous support with regards to my dear Mother in Law who is still in hospital and affected by her stroke. The background card and paper I used pink and blue glimmer mists and then stamped with dark blue stazon ink.

Thanks for looking, Rosie
