More garden blooms and a snippet

Hi Peeps, not sure what your bank holiday weather has been like but it's been pretty disappointing here in the Fens, we did see a few spots of sunshine yesterday but with a very cold wind and today it's just grey skies along with even more wind. We have visitors but have managed a bit of crafting while they are off on their training runs.

So I thought I would share a few recent Tattered Lace makes and a couple more photos which I took in the gardens on Friday when there was some sunshine. 

This Viburnum Opulus is now fully out (photo at the top) and I also took a close up against my hand so you can see the size of the huge blooms. 

My first Digitalis is coming out, this is one of several selfsets which have popped up around one of the Japanese Willow beds, it's not an ideal place for them to be growing but seemed such a shame to uproot them until they have flowered.

I couldn't resist taking this photos, amazing how many things of interest to Labradors there apparently are under shrubs because this is a scene I see over and again.

And now some TL shares, above a tag made using the new Essentials tag set which premiered on Create and Craft a couple of days ago, I made a few of these in different colourways as it's a great way of using up snippets of the thick packaging card that I have a habit of hoarding. I am popping over to the Snippets Playground with this one to see what mischief can be had. 

This one was made using the new Mug die set, the mug can be a stand alone card as it opens out but I decided to put it onto a card and use the stencil which goes with the set on the inside, below.

The spectacles are yet another new die which are fun to work with, I kept this one simple with a Brusho background and a computer generated sentiment.............I wasn't sure if the ink would bleed with the water and Brushos but it stayed fixed fine.

The lips were also new last week, for this one I ptinted the 'H' and 'T' on the computer, embossed the panel, tied some pink ribbon and a heat ribbon slide and cut the lips from pink glitter card and placed between the two letters to for the 'O'.

Hope you all have a good Monday.
