merlin

.... the dragon


 
"autumns's fire burns
slowly along the woods."
 
 

(excuse the stuff in the background, it was were the best light was in the room)

whole card was made from Debbi Moore's Autumn Glow cd, the image is actaully a topper but I snap-shotted it to make it A5, love the colour ways.
Embellishments came from The Fruit Pixie, little gems from stash. Inked round the edges, then hit the glitter, rubbed it off to give it a more tarnished look.

And at last we get to see Anthony Head back on our screens as Uther this Saturday, should be good.

buttons


For some reason this looks cream, its actually a very light green.
The tag is from Shabby Chic - Debbi Moore, I glittered around the mannequin with chamelon glitter, you can just about see it in the photo and embellished with buttons and a bow.

vintage style

With a wedding anniversary at the end of next week - it always creeps up on me - I hit the stash drawers and decided to go with a simple vintage style.



Papers from Prima's Botanical Collection, some card candi promarkered using Walnut and paper twine -  I found a gorgeous green organza ribbon but it didin't look right on the card, saved for another day.

Came across a brand new and shiny Challenge Blog - glitter n sparkle challenge blog which started this week. Hope to join in this every week.

Today we went on a lovely walk on the Teversal Trail - to SilverHill and back, the weather was a bit of a mixed bag, sunny and blue skies then dark skies and a gale then back to sunny.At least it didn't rain! The dogs loved it - wet and muddy.

 
 
 
 
 
Love the colours of the treeline.
 
 
 
 
Two swans and a few seagulls, this swan was particulary nosey, and posed for a few photo's whilst I distracted the dogs away from the water. Soon to be joined by it's equally nosey mate, then both decided to follow Andrew as he walked back to me.
 
 
and here's the obligatory fungi - rather leathery looking!

blue shoes

Am enjoying entering challenges, I'm thinking about the designs alot more so  my card making seems to be improving ;) Well,  I think it is *lol*
Not doing many as I don't have time and I will only start to stress about it all......

 
Paper Piecing - never tried this technique before, so kept it very simple as not too stress myself out.
The stamp came with Do-Crafts Creativity maazine, background paper and dress is from Prima's Botanical Collection, I used pro marker Cobalt Blue to colour in the flower and her shoes and blinged it up with an odd amount of gems.

here come's the bride

A lovely lady and her beau (such an old fashioned term but I love it) got married last week and we attended the evening reception, it was a lovely night, N's dress was simple and stunning, she looked so radiant. Sadly no photo's. I wanted to make the couple something different for a permanent reminder of the day (like they'd forget!) and ended up doing this in Craft Artist Professional:

 
on white A4 card and then framed it using one of the card frames from Wilko's. I had orginally thought to mutli-present and make it into a card what then could be framed but decided to just frame it instead. (again using butterfly image to tie into their invitation)
Image used came from the Graphic's Fairy.
