Here is the very cute and cuddly Lottie with wings from our new CD (and rubber stamps) of Humphries Corner stamps and printables from Crafters Companion. The background paper was also from the CD. I distressed around the image and the sentiment with brown ink and used some of our very fine natural colour
cluny lace,
posie seam binding and part of a
pearl flourish to add a touch of richness. I finished off with a nice selection of flowers, leaves and corners from Wild Orchid.
I made this card for the
St Lukes Hospice challenge - the challenge this month is to make a card including wings or anything that flies - when you have made and entered your card, you then pack it up with an envelope, in a clear cellophane pack to keep it clean, and post it off with an envelope so the card can be sold in aid of the hospice funds - great idea isn't it - thanks to
Ciara for letting us know about it and we hope you will all join in and help raise some cash for this very worthy cause.
I was inspired by
Sasha to make this card for my sister's 42nd wedding anniversary on 7th June - I have to say I'm useless at this less is more malarky and was soon sticking flowers ribboons and charms on to my card!!
I tried really hard to make my floral arrangement look pretty (my sister is a florist!!) The heart charm and seam binding both from
http://www.ribbongirl.co.uk/ and flowes are from Wild Orchid.
