A Mixed Lot..............

I didn't realise that it was Wednesday since i last made a posting.......so i have missed yet more fantastic challenges. Luckily I have a few days off next week so hopefully i might be able to catch up.

Also I have created a new blog for my 'alternative creations' I would really love it if you took the time to take a little peek......its mostly sewing creations....that might be the reason why I've not made many cards lol.

I have also put some candy together to thank my followers as i have had over 10,000 hits which i will post tomorrow.

Now what do I have to show you today........

This little beauty is a gorgeous stamped and coloured image from Lili of the Valley called 'Milly Just For You' such a pretty image. I have used a butterfly die cute and then mounted that onto a circle diecut and a round doily. The BG paper which you can just see is from Pion Design From My Heart II Love Song it is absolutely gorgeous. I have used a variety of flowers and all are from Wild Orchid Crafts with the exception of the gardenia which i recycled. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

This gorgeous creation, i have made for my mother-in-law for mothers day.......i just love this gorgeous image from Mo Manning......'Sophie'..so cute. I have used some BG from my stash and layered onto bazill cardstock which i have distressed and inked with Tim Holtz Blue China distress ink. I have punched the border using a Fiskars border punch and have then added the BG paper and some guipure lace from Wild Orchid Crafts. The flowers and seam binding are also from WOC and i have then made a paper flower and distressed also with the same ink and added a gorgeous jewelled brad. The sentiment MUM is made from alphabet stickers.
