Rubber Boots -it's raining

A few years ago as part of a longer trip I spent a few days in Helsinki ,Finland .They take their rubber boots to a whole new level -shops full of every colour and pattern you could ever want . I really wanted a pair but space in my case was already tight.

Over at The Lollipop Ladies ,challenge 53 we have Sherbies and embossing .I have to confess I've never eaten a Sherbie. I struggled with this one as I'm not a fan of orange but my umbrellas worked quite well and pulled the whole thing together. Prize on offer $10.00 for Annabelle Stamps.

Craft Your Passion - challenge 125 - Emboss It -Dry or Wet -I'm not a great fan of wet embossing -so dry it is on my umbrellas which are wet.

A tweet little bird

Apologies for pic,had to put the light on as it's quite dull today so his little feet cast a shadow.I don't make many easel cards so I've kept it simple .I only wanted to put the red gems on alternate scallops but sods law it couldn't be done that way. Whilst I've been doing this post the dark clouds have rolled in and it's raining ,we don't get nearly enough so I'm not complaining.
UPDATE ,it's twelve noon .the rain has gone.sky is blue,warm sunshine and my laundry is drying outside.

I've taken a couple of pics ,the darker background and different angle show off the card much better.

Fit for a Princess

I've used embosssing both dry and with a stamp for this card.

365 Cards -Day 64 - The 3 F's -Fringing,Fairy Story and Favourite Colour .My Fairy Story is Cinderella ,this dress is just right for a ball. I didn't have a long length of fringing in the right colour so I fringed a piece of white ribbon on the corner under the pink flowers. Pinks and shades of Purple appear on lots of my cards so I suppose I must like them.

The Shabby Tea Room - Week 8 - Get your Bling On . The borders ,the corner stamp and the dress all have glitter on them. Subtle but it is there.

Craft Your Passion - challenge 4 - Embossing -I used a couple of brass stencils to hand emboss the dress.
