Just a few bits n bobs to share today. It was Mothers' Day here in the UK yesterday. My Mum is in the US at the minute so I've not made her card yet, but I did get one made for Malc's Mum.
I love to add little snippets to my cards, and really enjoyed sewing this one together. But why can I never design and make a card in ten minutes?!!
The flower is by Wendy Vecchi and is stamped onto some card I had sprayed with lilac ink. The centre is a prima flower and the rest is just bits n pieces from around my craft room :)
Last week saw me in the plant nursery that my sister runs. We were creating a centre piece to the room based on the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. It's not finished yet, but it was great fun making bird feeders from cups and saucers, and planting herbs in jugs and cups :)
This is across two pages in my journal so I think I'll add more circles around it, of various size, and maybe do a zentangle border.
Wow! That card is beautiful and the colors fit the PDCC! Nice to see what's going on at your art table : )

ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who can't seem to create a card in 10 minutes! :o)
your card is absolutely gorgeous, sarah.....i love the colors, the stitching, and all of those "bits n bobs"!!! it looks like you're also having fun with your mad hatters table.....and your zentangle is fabulous!!! :))
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sarah, have to confess, time ran out and I bought one for my Mum...I feel ashamed as I look at yours!
ReplyDeleteYour quirky Mad Hatter's table made me smile... oh and I LOVE that zentangle! whan I looked at Milliande's, I thought I'd have a go but not got round to it yet...you've given me a prod to get on with it! x x
Hi Sarah, love what you've made and that zentangle is just stunning. Oddly enough that's how my stamp designs came about as Chris from Hobby Art saw one of my zentangle inspired atcs.
