OF THINGS TO COME



Hello Everyone.....

My new Lady let me into her house yesterday, which was a bonus....she is such a hoot...85yrs young and curses like a sailor....she spent 30 years working on cargo ships, and just became 'one of the boys'....

She had no idea who I was when I went in,but, let me in anyway,and just glad of the company I think...made her some toast and a cuppa and we chatted....she is going to have some tales to tell I think..

Had  lovely play in my craftroom yesterday afternoon and came up with this card for the Lili's little Fairies  photo inspiration challenge..



Coloured with Faber Castell pencils, and used a few dies on this one..

Fiskars grass punch
MB Tree
Marianne fence,birdhouse,and birds.
Marrianne Lamp bracket [for birdhouse to sit on...



A close up of image...'Glamorous Gardening' from LOTV...a freebie pad of images out of a magazine..



And the side view....paper are MME 'Bramble Rose'  and flower from WOC.

Inked the birds and birdhouse a bit....addded glitter to her ribbon on her hat and liquid pearls on her necklace..



Inspiration photo...gorgeous.


So there we have it...going to enter into the Simon says Stamp [anything goes challenge too]...

But for now, I have to love and leave you, as duty calls this early Sunday morning, off to see 2 ladies this morning....2 at lunchtime....and 5 tonight...no rest for the wicked eh!!

Thanks for stopping by, will catch up with you all this afternoon....hope you are having a great weekend..

Luv CHRISSYxx

    I adore LOTV images and just think it's so cute how you've wound the roses through the fence, just like the inspiration pic!

    Fabulous design Chrissy you have captured the inspiration photo brilliantly! I love the elderly ladies with spirit they are so interesting. I used to nurse a retired nurse and she always told me my uniform was far too short "No more than 3 inches above the ankles dear"! Have a good day but I think its probably almost finished for you now! Hugs Susan x
