Morning Peeps, hope everyone is OK and enjoying this lovely spell of sunshine, fingers crosses it lasts the weekend. I spend a few hours out in it yesterday helping check and secure the fences before the horses are turned out for their first Summer graze and it was lovely to feel the warmth.
It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and Tracy Mouse wants us to 'Add Some Glitter' and everyone who knows her will realise she has a bit of a penchant for a bit of sparkle.................as do most of us if we are honest, so nice choice Tracy.

I have used Modern Flower 4 from one of this weeks sponsors DigiStamp Boutique, paper piecing it to match the side pane with Nitwits DP, a little subtle inking with Spun Sugar, a bow and Marianne rose, Cheery Lynn lattice and some liberal glittering of the rose, black liquid pearls and image. I also took a close up of the flower to show what I really did glitter up as it's not too evident on the main picture.
I am thinking this theme will be right on song for lots of you and look forward to seeing all your lovely entries.

ReplyDeleteYour trellis side panel really tricks the brain into thinking flowers growing up one when looking at the is & I love the way all the spots overlap with one another & emphasized beautifully with your black gems/pearls. Super idea with the scalloped oval inside the ornate frame of the outer & with the rounded blossoms enhancing the scallops.......lots going on this which makes the whole cohere beautifully......... sorry about getting so lyrical......
ReplyDeleteWarmth here too which is most welcome as are the butterflies & bees.
