My Last 'Things With Wings' Card

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you all got to enjoy a little sunshine yesterday, it was really chilly here all day but the sun was shining, I did think about putting some washing out on the line but it was too cold for it to dry.  I felt that yesterday was the first day I felt that I wanted the heating on all day, mind you we have the back door (that opens into the utility room) for Harley to go in and out and I like to have our bedroom window open to freshen the room, I usually leave it open all day but yesterday was just too chilly.
It barely seems a few weeks since we were welcoming Spring and looking forward to drying washing on the line and here we are back at tumble dryer weather!

Today's card is the last of the 'Things With Wings' card for this week, I think that the 'Spotlight' Technique has been one of my favourites so far this year, it was easy to do and worked for so many different card styles, I even got to use some toppers from Lilli of the Valley that I have been hoarding for years.  That's what this card is made with, I simply punched out the bird in the centre and added some Glossy accents to highlight it added a narrow mat of pink card and them popped it back into place. The card was finished with a simple sentiment and some pink pearls.

I can't wait to see all of your 'Things with Wings' card this week, I hope you have enjoyed the challenge, I wonder how many of you used Butterflies?!

One of Sophie's projects from her University course is to fill in a small journal/notebook, I have to say that she is really enjoying doing it, we got to do some crafting together yesterday as she was telling me what she wanted to achieve and I was giving her ideas on what things she could add/use, it made me laugh though as it felt like we had gone back about 15 years, as she kept saying 'Mum, have you got.....'' it was anything from a pokey tool and twine to a white pen and hole punch, when I got to see some of her ideas I was blown away, I absolutely love how starting her University course has really boosted her enthusiasm for art in general, she is sketching/creating at every opportunity, she seems to find her Tutors fun and inspiring too, I hope that it continues to be as enjoyable.

I hope that you all have a lovely day today, I hope you can all stay warm and dry too.
