Greetings from Dublin and thank-you for stopping by.
I've needed to make a wedding card and thanks to inspiration from both a challenge photo and some new purchases I've come up with this:
The inspiration photo is at one of my favourite challenges - It's all about the Vintage and Beauty.
My new purchases are a Sizzix Framelits Die Set - 'Enchanted' by Prima and the new Tim Holtz 'Gothic' stencil. I havn't done too much work with these as their beauty speaks for themselves.
Papers are by Pion Design and Graphic 45. Roses by Jeans. Silver embellishments by Nunn Design. Edges inked with Silver Brilliance. Pearls and trims from stash.
It's lovely to have your company today and special thanks to those who have signed up recently to follow.
