a cage but no birds

I haven't added a greeting as I may use this  to send a letter to my aunt or maybe my MIL would like it for her birthday - I suppose I could always make another similar card - I say similar because I never manage to duplicate my cards -

Double D challenge -  mood board is for butterflies.

pretty in pink

Instead of making cards I should find time to hone my photography skills - I really don't know how to get the best from pics and show the details- I used wink of stella on the flower and some pink gems for sparkle.

The Flower challenge -47 sparkle

a bit of sparkle

It's very hard to see in the piccy but I covered the vase twice  with Versamark and clear embossing powder to make it shine.Red glitter dots for a bit of sparkle - 

I used watercolour pencils - a brand called Micador which I've had for years - I never add colour direct to the card but use a wet paintbrush to pick colour from the pencil tip.

a day at the beach

I have fond memories of going to the seaside as a child - donkey rides ,ice cream ,looking through rock pools with my granddad for tiny fish and crabs which I would put in a bucket only to put them back at the end of the day - I so wanted to take them home.I also remember getting stuck in quicksand and being given a real telling off. HAPPY DAYS

Double D challenge 'Let's go to the beach


I Love ProMarkers challenge 415 - inspired by the photo below. I added a tiny bit of red for interest.
