The stick-on lace is actually of a Christmas design, if you look at the top of the card you can see that's its actually stockings, and its a right pain to piggle the backing off to get it to stick.....cropped and resized the image, layered it on to a piece of red mirror card and stuck onto the card, for the bow I made two holes about an inch apart in the 'seam' of the card and pushed ribbon through.

hot off the press

just finished this 100% digital scrap card, the challenge was to use this colour palette:

 

so I copied the chart into CAP2 and took my colours straight from it using the colour selector pipette,and with different materials/effects added, I made this card, it could also be used as a topper.

I always had a book to hand as a child, fortunately a hobby I continue today, Secret Seven, Mallory Towers, Famous Five, Nancy Drew then the Hardy Boys evolving into James Herriott, Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie as a teenager, then morphing into, now,  Freya North, Sophie Hannah, Dorothy Koomson, Trisha Ashley, Alexander McCall Smith, Tess Gerritson to name a but a few.

 

My life story would be called 'The Girl with Her Head Stuck in a Book'!!

Oh bee-have!!

Done for a Bee themed challenge over at  lunagirl moonbeams blog, hand drew the bees so I apologise now for the squishy un-bee shaped-ness of them.

(There is a informative piece on Bees & growing for Bees in this times issue of Earth Matters from Friends of the Earth, I have already planned a cut flower garden on our allotment plot and am now going to do a bee friendly patch in the garden)

Atc - used 3 buttons out of the Tin for his body, sewed through the buttonholes with black cotton to look like pieces of stone for his buttons, used black bobbly ribbon for his scarf, cut a small black mirror card hat, drew stick arms & finally promarked an orange spot for his nose.
