Thank you
all for visiting my blog and leaving lovely messages. It is so appreciated. Also a very warm welcome to my new crafty pals, I am so glad you wanted to join me.
Today’s
card also started with a gift (yes another gift) this time some great papers
with toppers that I could do in art deco style – a favourite of mine. I have
balanced this with using one of my more extravagant purchases, believe me as
soon as I saw this die it was a must have. This is only my second easel card ever so it took ages to make and is a bit fuzzy but I hope you still like it. The card is on it’s way to my non blogging pal who loves the same style as soon as I put a stamp on it.

Good Morning Flora,
ReplyDeleteOh! My! Word! what a stunner, I love it.
Love the style of the whole card and the beautiful colours.
That Charles Rennie Mackintosh style Die is just beautiful, must have a look for that. There is a new exhibition opening in Glasgow to celebrate his work which I would love to get to.
Have a Great Day

ReplyDeleteHi Flora, for your second easel card this is a WOW. Art Deco is one of my favourite periods and I just love the rose die, as Patricia says reminiscent of Macintosh. So lovely.
