Sending a wholehearted thank you for all the wonderful messages of support I received this week can be the only way to start this post................I received literally hundreds of e.mails when my blog comments had to be disabled.........thank you seems inadequate for the warmth and kindness so many have shown towards me during a difficult week.
Now back to business and it's yours truly's turn to host the challenge at Allsorts this week and my theme is 'Spread your Wings'.........use anything with wings as your focal image.

In fact I've a little confession to make, I had intended using a butterfly for my DT piece, but when I saw this new stamp Harietta on the Lavinia stand at Stamperama a few weeks ago it was love at first sight and I had to have her as well as the smaller silhouette version.
To create the sky I used a plate to tear some copy paper to create a rainbow shape, then used that as my mask to ink round using Adirondack butterscotch, watermelon and red pepper, along with citrus for the hills. I stamped Harietta with versafine black, heat embossed with detail clear and coloured her with Copics and glittered her wings and skirt. The trailing flowers and toadstools are also from Lavinia. The swirl is a TH die and the rose made from a five petal punch.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, they threatened more of the white stuff so it might be a perfect excuse to stay in, keep warm and craft, sound good to me.

Hi Brenda,
What a simple gorgeous card, you never disappoint with your amazing and inspiring designs. Jo xx
Such a beautiful card, I love the image and the colours are gorgeous, I hope you have gotten everything sorted out now and that you don't have any more trouble, there really is no need for people to be like that, have been wondering all week since I read your post, if she claims she didn't receive the email then how would she know that you were talking about her as you never mentioned any names or details? I was so sorry to hear that people had put you through this and I hope the days ahead will be much brighter for you.

This is a lovely image & your multiple matting frames her beautifully. I absolutely love the colours you sued & the foliage around her including the glorious rose.
I have a rather soft spot for elves or fairies but they do need to have character & she certainly does.
