Morning Crafters,
It's a bank holiday in the UK today and the sun is set to shine, yippeeee. Well my Son has started to venture off on longer journey's in the car on his own this weekend and it's kinda of weird. I'm so used to having him home that he left after Hubby had programmed the Satnat to avoid the motorway, and me and Hubby went for a walk with Ollie. I said goodbye to my Daughter and reminded her to lock up after she goes out for the evening. We arrived back home an hour later and I said to my Husband have you got the key..... he looked at me and said no, have you.. Lol, we were locked out. I had to call my Daughter and ask her to come home to let us in, she wasn't happy with us, lol. Guess we'll get used to noone being at home anymore.... sob, sob, sob.
My card today is my DT card for Live and Love Crafts, the theme that the DT are following this week is "Animals". The Girls are really so talented that hop on over and become a follower if you aren't already, you won't want to miss the inspiration and all those yummy goodies that LLC stock. I have used a Lili of the Valley image, and water coloured with distress inks, aren't these two gardeners just the cutest. The laces are absolutely gorgeous and I have used 3 varieties, all thumbnail links below as usual.
The beautiful papers are by MajaDesign Vintage Summer Basics 1921, really love this paper, in fact I have just ordered some more, lol.
I have used shabby rose frantage on the 2mm beads around the image. Add edges have been distressed with gesso and snowtex. The little watering can charm is from TheRibbonGirl and perfect for these little cuties.
Hugs Tracy x

Gorgeous creations, I so love the edges with Gesso and snowteck, is there a trick to using this because I always seem to make a mess and yours turns out beautifully

Your story is funny, we've had that happen too. So fun to coordinate your life with your grown children. Love your card, so beautiful. The embellishments are nicely put. I love the ribbon across the bottom is really pretty.
