Musical Wings

Saturday evening here in Australia and it is lovely to be crafting after a busy day in the yard - I will know I am alive tomorrow! LOL!  But in the meantime I have a card to share with you....

Using the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles Nestabilities - I love the ornate look of this Die, it can be pretty of grungy or anything inbetween!  I have also used the Spellbinders Classic Rectangles both Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur®

I have used some retired Layers of Color sets to create this card - I cannot resist them, they are divine.  I am excited to see the announcement over at Penny Black that both Laura and Nina are now designing for them - it is WIN:WIN for us!

The butterfly has been stamped with Tsukineko Onyx Black Versafine and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits.  Some colour has been added to the background image using the Prismacolor Pencils as well.  The wings have been popped up with foam dots.  I have finished off by pleating some paptterned paper and adding some braid from my stash.

Steamin' Style

There are so many digital sites around these days - I do love to use their images when I get a moment, I have a number printed out waiting to be made into a project

I love this Steampunk style Dress Form that has been coloured using SU Chalks/Pastels

The image has been cut using the Spellbinders Classic Oval LG and layered onto the gorgeous Fleur de Lis Rectangle, with a Fancy Tags Three that has been cut and added to each end of the image, creating a layered frame- all Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.

My hand dyed Seam Binding makes a pretty bow along with the addition of a cog from the Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets Dies illustrated by Donna Salazar.
