I was delighted to be one of the winners of the September Crafty Individuals Challenge & after being exceedingly late with my last entry I thought I would be early for a change. It is one of my favourite challenges and this month I thought I would just do a simple card for Things with Wings. Cards are not really my thing as I prefer boxes and hangings, but I don't think I have ever entered a card before.
Anyway I used CI - 069 on some glossy card stock and tinted with watercolours. The papers used are Ella Blue and the dies used are Cheery Lynn, spellbinders labels 4 & Xcut. I rather overdosed with pearls, then added some corners & flowers, ribbon and lace and a touch of rangers rock candy.
I've rather enjoyed The Borgias on Sky Atlantic so thought I would do a renaissance inspired card LOL!
Yay Downton Abbey on soon, perfect Sunday night viewing after a gorgeous unusually sunny October day.
A big hello to all my new followers and thank you so much for taking the time and effort to comment on my bloggings, it really is appreciated.
Happy Crafting & have a lovely evening XX
