Good morning all.
Well it's been sunshine and showers for the last few days, wonder what the weekend is going to bring! Not a Bank Holiday weekend up here in Scotland but since I don't work I'll maybe pop down home for the day on Monday and go to the local agricultural show.
The smelly silicon glue seems to have struck me again!! I used Collal the other day to stick my calendar together and whilst it didn't smell at the time it does now it's dry!! I opened a new tube for this card to stick the flower arrangement and again no smell from the tube but I can smell it now it's dry...not as bad as the Pinflair glue did but it's rather off putting to say the least....grrrr.
A card to share today using another of the gorgeous PPinkyDollsArt images, this one is called Miracle.
(The one I used on my calendar earlier in the week is called Lilith not Gigi in case you go looking!).
I've coloured the image with promarkers before diecutting with an oval nestie and layering onto a co-ordinating scalloped oval. Backing papers are from Prima. Lacy die is a Tattered Lace magazine freebie, butterfly is from Marianne Design an all other dies are Spellbinders. Flowers are from Petal Lu; lace from Creative Expressions; ribbon from Crafty Ribbons; leaves and bling from my stash. Sentiments are from LOTV and a magazine freebie.

This is gorgeous Carol, such a fabulous image and lovely muted colours.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the Collal glue - it took me ages to figure out what it was, I thought it was the double sided tape for ages!

Fab card Carol, maybe we should see about getting them to sponsor CFAS next year. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Carol...this card is gorgeous! What a beauitful image!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about odors. I have not had that problem with the glues yet, but there is a trend over here to have the papers made in China.They have that horrible chemical smell when you open the package. I do not know if it is the cheap plastic wrap or the paper itself but it permeates everything!
Gorgeous, love the colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the 'Decadence' Tattered Lace challenge.

Gorgeous. Like the other one you did earlier, the images don't look like you coloured them yourself, they look amazing. (Ok, I am digging a hole here, you colour beautifully, but you know what I mean!) Love your dies cuts too. Michelle x
