Valentine Hat

Hello from a very sunny Perthshire.  We are having lovely weather at the moment, it's almost too good to be true!  I'm just hoping it lasts a while.

 It's lovely to hear the birds singing and lawnmowers buzzing away!

I have just finished this card and wanted to enter it in a couple of challenges. 

The image is from Rick St. Dennis and you can find it here  Valentine Hat

Rick St. Dennis has images in various forms.  From Beautiful ladies

I'm still practicing my hair, but I am happy with the way this one turned out.  

I added little crochet flowers from Prima and a wee wooden birdcage which I bought in a pack of 4 in a book shop for £1!!!! Such a bargain I wish I had bought more than one pack though!

Bobbin Fairy Clean and Simple

Hello from a dull and dreary Perthshire.  Where has the sun gone?  All the bulbs are coming up in the garden, so we know for sure that Spring is on the way!!

I've been busy making cards, and I want to show you this one I made using an image from

 Mo Manning

he is called Bobbin Fairy

I love Mo's fairies, they all look so cute and cheeky!  

This is a CAS (clean and simple) card, and I love the way it has turned out.

I printed the image on white card and coloured him with Promarkers.

I put some glitter on his wings, and added a button onto his strap.

  I then mounted the white card onto red card, to draw attention to the red thread etc.  

I took an 8" x 8" scalloped card and covered with some chevron striped paper, which was free from one of the many magazines I subscribe to.

The red card was then stuck onto the patterned paper.

I computer generated a sentiment 

Mum you are so amazing!!

and then cut it out using a Spellbinder scalloped heart die.

I placed this on the corner of the card.

I threaded some Bakers Twine through a red button, tied it in a bow and stuck it to the corner of the card just above the sentiment.

Done!!!!!
