We are having some much needed rain at the moment and it looks as if it here for the day which is a shame on a Sunday but we cannot choose our weather. I went to a tatting workshop yesterday which was great - it was a technique I taught myself back in the seventies so it was good to be reminded of it and to get back into having a go. I made a little butterfly and started on a bookmar but need to practise a bit more to get the tension right. Today I'm off to a Bead Fair so possibly a bit of retail therapy - did I say possibly??
This card is made using a Tim Holtz Sizzix die to make the rosette flowers; the centres were put through a dotty embossing folder; the leaves are from a Marianne die and the background used an embossing folder and was then brushed over with some distress ink to emphasise the pattern. The sentiment was produced on the computer.
A lovely card Val, I like the way the flowers are made too. Hope you had a good day at the bead fair, just what was needed on a day like today.
