I made this last Friday in-between getting all the cases unpacked and washing done. I just had to have a quick crafty ‘fix’ lol.
Background paper The Engraver pack by Prima given a little sponging with distress paints.
Tag inked and stamped with DPaint.
Flower a rose brad painted with DPs and watercolour paper petals around it.
The butterfly is a memory box die inked and splattered.
Some washi tape and Tim Holtz sentiment.
Quite happy with it for a simple card.
This was the view from one of our bedroom windows on Sunday night, very Turnerish don’t you think? Can you see the rainbow even though we didn’t get any rain? And this was facing East too, not west which to me made it even more dramatic.
I hope you are enjoying your day, thanks for stopping by.

I don't know how it is possible, but I saw I just missed some of your fab creations.
ReplyDeleteThis one is so pretty. I pinned it (hope you agree) and I think it will give me some inspiration.
In a week we are leaving for California...do you have some suggestions?
