A One Off Performance!!

Evening everyone, it's been a while since I joined in over on Dotties World.  The theme this week is Valentines and I decided to have fun by trying to use a Charmed image that may not usually be one's first choice for the occassion!  Tricky - so where does a gal go for romantic inspiration? CHICK FLICKS!!  This card will also be entered into the following challenges;

You may recognize the text from the chorus of the theme tune to Dirty Dancing, go on - how many of ya started singing along lol!! I don't have any large heart die cuts so I improvised and got a free template off the net, the site is called enchantedlearning.  It's worked out quite well.  Not sure about the papers now - might be a bit too busy - kinda messy - but then love's like that sometimes eh!!

Four in One Challenge

Hello everybody.  Well the weather's certainly beginning to turn wintery.  We had hailstone earlier today, and very cold it was too.  I've made my second tree ornament this week.  This was requested by my work colleague Diane, for her grand daughter's first Christmas.  I'm also entering it into four challenges.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Christmas Gifts

Crafty Catz - Angels and Fairies

Dare You To Digi Stamp - Glitter

Everybody-Art-Challenge  - Christmas

I've used one of my favourite Charmed download, resized it to fit the card bubble and used photoshop on the lappy to include text as per Diane's instruction!!

The card is mounted onto a cork coaster mat which also needed trimming to fit the bubble.  The reverse is the same image. The edges of the mats create the side of the ornament and were covered with white ribbon. The card bubble, ribbon and lace is from Hobbycraft.  The image is coloured with watercolour pencils and glitter applied to her wings, flower centres and hairpiece.

I think she's beautiful, I hope Diane feels the same way!!

Thankyou for stopping by.  Please feel free to leave a comment as I love to read them.  Take care and happy crafting everyone!!
