Bits and Pieces

Thank you to all my crafty pals for your lovely comments on my decoupage, so very pleased you popped in to see me. I do so enjoy reading your comments and also visiting you. Welcome to my new crafty pals, pull up a chair and relax. I have really been enjoying our lovely bit of sunshine and I wanted to make sure I made the best of it just in case, so my wandering into bloglad is a bit amiss.
You will all be impressed that my March budget is still intact even though it has that extra bit in it, as March contains special days. 
I do quite often play with my toys and as a result end up with some bits and pieces so I thought to pop them on a card. The cogs mask made such an imprint on my silver paper that I decided to cut around it, then I daubed it with a bit of blue ink, and a card was born. 
Paper and card - card blank is a 6 inch square,
the dark blue pearlised card is from old photographic stock,
a couple of scraps of printed canvas paper,
and the silver paper is from a Range scrap box,
Dies used – Memory Box Loom Circle &
the centre of the Gothic Rosette and,
Creative Expressions Cogs Mask.

  2. The sunshine has been nice hasn't it Flora, not sure about your way but it's very dull here this morning.

    That die is very intricate and makes statement all on its own.
