LAYERS AND WINGS AND PRETTY THINGS



Hello Everyone....

No aches and pains to discuss tonight,I'm fit and well, has been a lovely day and it went by so fast, had my tea and ready to blog.......if I dont have to................. refresh..refresh...refresh...sorry if I've missed anyone, even DT comments on blogs are being difficult...but getting through slowly...oh! so slowly.

Never mind, it is Wednesday and time for FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY  and this week we have LAYERS...lots of LAYERS..base does not count, no cheating..lol..



I'm not very good with layers as I cant seem to fit many on and have a problem with covering my base papers, so I used the same paper for all my layers with this card as it was multi coloured...from Rosies Studio.."Regal Collection"...



This gorgeous image is Emerald Faeries Boo and Snookie  from A & T digital designs

Coloured with my Faber Castell pencils, dots added with copics, and the background inked with a light grey ink and sponges, and glittered up his wings.



I have four layers here and used my beautiful new MB corner die...just for added prettiness, and cuttlebug corners dies on all the corners, with a pearl in the centre of those.

So there we are, all done, so come and join us at FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY would love to see you there..

Thanks for stopping by...hopefully I get through my blogging rounds with no refreshing...is takes you back to the beginning, not like the old days..lol.. last year with old blogger..lol.

Hello Everyone.....

Wednesday is upon us and time for a new challenge at....
                                     FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAYS 

All our entries last week were just gorgeous, thank you to all who joined in...

This week we have a theme of "HEARTS".. so lets see those butterflies or Fairies and loads of hearts...which is what I have done...gone quite heart silly....



What did I tell you....crazy for hearts....

This cute image is from Emerald Faeries  and his name is "EBONY" 



Close up of image, all coloured up with Faber Castell pencils..with liquid pearls dotted around the image....

Papers are MME "Ooh La La"  and cuttlebugs hearts everywhere...

The heart pins from a local store...25 white and 25 red...on a wheel for $3 ...cant go wrong with that...



The side view...showing the Cheery Lyn flourish that has never cut properly, so I chop it up, and works in fine with my design...there is a piece of cheesecloth action in the background...another craft supply that I find difficult to play with..but worked here..

So there you go...please join us this week at Flutter By Wednesday for our hearts challenge, just remember your Fairy or Butterfly...

Thanks for calling in...will see you later on my blog rounds, and I really, really hope to stay awake in front of the screen tonight...so hypnotising...lol...
