Lazy hazy days of summer

Hi guys I'm back lol,

We went out this week and on our trip I saw this florists window with a birdcage in, it looked so lovely I thought mmm great idea for a card lol,

so when we got back I put this together,

The base, angle iron and birdcage are all sprayed with perfect pearls copper mist for a lovely gorgeous shimmer which in the right light looks lovely,

the butterflies are from a fabric type material I once got from a craft show, so I cut out the butterflies and they have such a lovely glittery effect on them too,

which of course on here isn't showing to much, typical lol,

My papers are from Basic Grey and are from  the porcelain pad which they have stopped doing and I so love these papers too,

the vellum has writing on it that shimmers too,

Tilda lying down, is coloured with copics and has glamour dust on her top, laces, and hair bands,

The  flowers were again from a craft show and catch the light beautifully,

Hi guys,

I'm fed up with this awful weather so I cheered myself up by making a card, the challenge over at MDU is a colour challenge for peach, purple and cream,

now these are not colours I use so it's been fun doing this lol,

My papers are from a paper pad called sweet fairy and also Papermania Exquisite,

Tilda is coloured with my copics  and has added Stickles glitter glue added too,

the flowers are Wild orchid craft and the butterfly is by  Prima

I  loved colouring my image in this distress look  style the other day with my copics, so I think this is my look from now on lol,

I've coloured my pearls with copics too to match the colour scheme,

the fancy corner has been crackle painted again, love this look too,

 Magnolia down under ~ peach, purple and cream
Magnolia Mania ~ floret

For my sis

Hi peeps,

You know how I'm loving my distress inks at the moment, well here's another one done with them lol,

It's my sisters Birthday next week and she loves oriental as do I funnily enough, so what better image than this gorgeous Magnolia,

When I saw this gorgeous paper from the Basic Grey Curio pad it just said oriental to me, maybe I'm strange, no Mandy don't answer that lol,

I've followed the sketch over at Magnolia Down under so of course I'll put it in their challenge lol,
Just Magnolia ~ anything goes optional buttons,

I've coloured the flower with the same colour ways to hopefully coordinate with  the look of the papers or as near as I could any way, the raffia I wove twice round the card and attached the coins using pin flair gel, and the fans are fixed that way too, the borders are of course a Doo Hickey die which I've added a little lace for character and to lighten the effect, 

Colours used:

Antique linen, tattered rose, vintage photo,

Walnut stain, pumice stone, 

Aged Mahogany, brushed corduroy,

Black soot,

I've again painted my background I'm loving this look and it's such fun to do he he,

Hope your all having a lovely day with lots of fun!

see you soon,
Ps Back tomorrow with some Candy for my up coming Birthday!
