A smile from Margo


Morning everyone, a quick post with a few Fairy Hugs shares and also my January card which I sent to Jo as part of the months card exchange for the Card Chain Challenge.

I couldn't resist sharing a photo of out little Margo, now five months old and taken with Dad at the weekend, that smile melts our hearts and it's good to see her so happy after all she's been through in hospital the last couple of weeks. 


My top card uses Ink Cap Mushrooms, Bunnies, Dotted Mushrooms, Lantern Tree and Hanging Vines, Oxide and regular DI's, torn paper to crate the hills and a the edge of a piece of paper to create the rays from the moon.

For my CCC card I followed the grid line using Red from the colour options and Glitter which comes in the form of pearl mica spray onto the AALL and Create Papaver, after stamping and colouring flowers I often spray with it as it softens the card allowing you to shape the flowers. A stencilled background, wahi tape, birdie and sentiment from my Believe in your Dreams.


Have a good Wednesday.

Oh Brenda, sono così contenta di vedere Margo sorridere dopo tutto quello che ha passato!!! Dio ci ha ascoltato! :)
Sai che trovo una certa somiglianza tra il viso di Margo e il tuo? :) Spero che abbia preso sa te anche il tuo carattere, dolce ma estremamente forte!
...Abbi cura di te, adesso, per favore!
Cards straordinarie, il rosso dei funghi contrasta così bene con i raggi azzurri e il nero dei bei timbri!! La seconda card è la mia preferita di oggi, adoro lo sfondo delicato con il bel washi tape e i bellissimi fiori a decoupage! L'uccellino e il sentiment in nero danno forza all'intera creazione! Sei sempre molto ispiratrice!
Un forte abbraccio!
