Butterflies & Lace - A6 card front

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is featuring the new Butterflies & Lace Collection that was launched last Friday and it is a lovely set that can be used for any occasion, any gender and all year round.

There are many ways in which to use this collection and in the vidoes I have tried to show you some of the not too obvious ones.

For the card shown I have used gold gilding flakes for the background and I have only use two of the panels to crate the look. 

They have ben added to an embossed panel with foam pads for height and the larger butterfly is in three layers. The top layer, which is the smaller butterfly, has been covered in Versamark and then covered with gold embossing powder and heated.
 I repeated that process three times to give an almost enamel look to the insect.

I have added a pearl trail from the bodyline and this would make a lovely male card with a change of sentiment.
I hope you enjoy the video

Marilyn Coombs - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Sorry to be so late at posting but it has been such a beautiful day that we have been outside all day in the sunshine. Ruby and I went for a long walk with my family along the promenade and it was very busy. The sun really brought the people. We had a lovely ice cream and I ended up wearing most of mine as it melted.

I have however now done the draw and without any more chat I will add the name.

So the winner of the Christmas Scene is ….

 Marilynn Coombs

Ruby and Ella Update

Hi Everybody,

It's me Ruby, the Cocker Spaniel, and it has been a while since I was here.

This is a picture of me with my sister Ella, the cat, waiting at the bathroom door for our mum.

Ella was one a little while ago and I am getting used to her now and do you know she is not that bad.

She rubs up against me and wafts her tail under my nose. That tickles me and I walk away from her, but she follows me everywhere.

Mum says she does that because she loves me .... me I'm not so sure.

 We have actually shared the same dog bed that is in mums craft room. Can you see her tucked in on the right hand side.

I wouldn't mind but her own bed is right alongside mine and she still wants to get in with me,

I draw the line when she comes near my food bowl and then I growl at her. But she got the message very quickly and now eats her own dinner and leaves me in peace.

She likes to come outside in the back garden with me, and she hides under the bushes to jump out at me, and then I chase her and she runs inside.

It's not that bad having a little sister and we do get closer each day.

Don’t forget to scroll back and leave your comment for the Friday Freebie
