A few days ago I showed you a card that I entered into one of them ... and I didn't win.
Well this is another card I sent to yet another magazine and ....
... I din't win this either (Sob! sob!)
But at least I had a try ... and I thought this card was so lovely.
I was so pleased with the end result that I did a video on how to make this Mosaic Card and it uses some gilding flakes and a piece of double sided adhesive sheet to get the result.
Much prettier in real life than the photo shows.
The image and the sentiment are from Lili of the Valley and their stamps are utterly gorgeous. You will be spoilt for choice if you visit so be warned.
The flowers and the pins are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are such a beautiful addition to any card
But I also entered yet another competition with these three card projects and this time I was ....
..... no not the winner ... but one of the Runners up!! And guess who was really pleased with herself.
I went around with a smile on my face for days and showed the picture of my cards, in the magazine, to anybody that would take take a look.
Even the postman was treated to this exclusive look at my cards.... I think he thought I was mad!
And again Lili of the Valley stamps for the rabbits and the child and the Poppies are from Clarity Stamp ... Another website with an amazing array of stamps.
So maybe this year will see me entering all over again and who knows what will happen this time.
