Good afternoon friends/bloggers, I hope all is well today
for you all. Here is a second card for this week's
'Less is More' challenge, where the theme is.......
Felt or Fabric
I went for a shabby chic look this time, in shades of
purple and navy.Quite liking this colour combo! Details
below card....and my ramblings lol. Come and
have a closer look...........

I have lots of chiffon I bought in different shades to make
flowers with. I went with the navy colour. After cutting and
singeing the ends I sewed some tiny beads in the middle.
The leaves and 'buds' I pinched from some pot pourri, well
the leaves were like paper mache so........fabric? I didn't
have any purple bakers twine so made my own.
Not brilliant I know but at least it matches. TH distress
inking and a bit of distressing to the edge of the card. I
made a banner & added a Woodware stamped sentiment.
Job done !
ps. More changes afoot ( excuse pun....see below ), after
getting to used my new smart phone, then my new tablet,then
new glasses (varifocals for the 1st time).
It seems I have another new thing to get used to now.
I have been having foot problems for several years now
and my reflexologist has been nagging me to get a referral to
see a Podiatrist.My arches have dropped & my leg is
changing shape accordingly............ oh my !
Well today I saw him ( very nice young man) and he
is getting me fitted with custom orthotics. It involved
lots of warm water and plaster....very nice experience!
He did say my feet were very flexible, which is a good thing
apparantly lol. I hope this will help me be able to walk
better and with much less pain. I will report back soon :)
Here is another DT card made for Beccy over at 'Beccy's Place'. I think she draws some lovely digi images, pop on over and have a nosey at her other images too. This card was made using her 'old pump' image, available HERE. I made a get well card as I thought...well.......pump...get the inference lol ??Beccy & I both laughed at that btw. I used some white linen card stock, then added some navy card which has a kind of leather look to it texture wise. That was made into a pennant shape, then I used my nesties ( curved rectangles) to cut the main image with. I coloured the image with Copics,Promarkers & some coloured pencils.A bit of chalking around the image too. A 'Janes's script' sentiment and a Marianne creatable die leaf completes the card.A big welcome to all my latest followers too & thankyou for choosing me to follow ! ps.I have two more DT cards to show you tomorrow.Then I have another DT card to post very soon with a freebie background & some freebie inserts for you to use with Beccy's lovely image.I will be making these freebies now & again for you to use with Beccy's lovely digi images so check back frequently ( wink) ;)
