Something Festive for Friday



Good Friday Morning Ladies,  

Fingers crossed this post published as normal,  I have no idea why yesterday's didn't,  I apologise if any if you missed it.  


Love this artwork,  it gives an Autumn feel though.  

I like the reminder too,   we all need time, for many different reasons.  Do he gentle with yourselves ❤️

I made this Christmas card yesterday afternoon,  the background is made with Distress Sprays,  Oxide Peacock Feathers and Wilted violet spray stain,  I added some splatters of the Distress Mica Sprays in the same colours.  The shimmer looks amazing...

 I tried to capture the shimmer in these photos 

I spritzed a piece of white card with a mica pearl spray,  I then used my Bibi Cameron Snowflake die to cut a snowflake from the shimmery card. 

I placed it over the background,  trimmed off the overhanging bits of snowflake and then adhered the piece to a white card base.  

I struggled to get a sentiment to stand out with the busy card front, so die cut 'Wishes ' in black and then pressed into clear ink pad, added clear embossing powder and heat set,  I added the 'Warm Wishes '  from an old Anne Marie designs Christmas sentiments sheet. 

A few black stones finish the card. 

I hope that you all have a lovely Day, 

Love and hugs to all,
