I have another card for you today and guess what
Its a Christmas one too.
No that is not glitter on my desk just the reflection.
I cut out 4 of the Memory Box Madera corner dies and placed them with the
points in the centre placing my sentiment over them.
Both the Poinsettia and the leaves from the
Dogwood outline die that I have used are Memory Box too.
I felt the white card was too much so ran D/S tape round the edge and
used pale blue glitter to soften it.
It looks better in RL.
Am entering this in:
Now I thought Ang might like to see my Fuschia Tree.
Well I can hardly call it a shrub can I?
Ang has a great tutorial on making these flowers and you can check it here
this gets cut back to bare wood in the winter
and it is not yet in full flower.
When it is I will be sweeping up a bucket full on spent blooms
every couple of days throughout the summer.
Should have got a close up of the flowers silly me
Well thats all folks

Wow! oh! Wow! to both your brilliant card and beautiful tree.
ReplyDeleteAll our Fuchsias were in full bloom till last week. With this relentless rain we are having they have been battered to bits.
Really like that sentiment you have used
Have a great day
