BLOOMIN' BEAUTIFUL..

 Hello everyone,

First off thank you so much for the Birthday wishes yesterday, I had an awesome day out to lunch with my friend Aileen, and we laughed and laughed and neither of us knew why, so that was fun, we had a lovely meal and a wander through town..then last night my daughter and husband arrived with cookies, BIG cookies, chocolate chip..mmm.. and chocolate, flowers and gift voucher, my gosh I was so spoiled..and off out for dinner on Sunday night too, a big family affair, can't wait..


I also played with my picture I made, and framed it up yesterday..


I may add another mat to break up the black, we'll see...

So onto today, I'm sharing a project I made for the Facebook challenge over at


They have a mood board divided into four, and I used three of them..





Colours, over the edge, and flowers..


Quite a bit of dimension..


Definitely over the edge, love doing that..


Added all the colours I had...


And added white paint over the flowers and edges as it just does something very cool ..like if your colours scream at each other in some places the white helps bring them together..


Gave this pretty lass a balustrade painted black, then mousse rubbed over with my fingers to age it, then some white paint too...


And there she is in all her floral glory...

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Happy birthday Chrissy, glad you had a fun lunch with your friend- it's so good to get together and have a laugh- something we've missed out on a lot lately- but things here are improving so hopefully won't be long before we can enjoy being with our friends again- outside is lovely when the weather is good and warm but this is the UK....
Yesterday's masterpiece looks great in its frame and today's card is a stunner, so many beautiful layers and details.
