Thank you to all my
crafty pals for your lovely comments. Well it is officially the coldest March,
in Somerset, in the last forty years. I do so feel for my pals who are stuck
with worse weather and hope you are all safe. Thinking that it is perhaps
always time for chocolate and at the moment hot chocolate I don’t think this
waistline is quite correct, lol. I do like this torso die, I think they
are fun so as I was doing some die cutting I thought I would play.
My background card was for another project, I printed it off and put it to one
side, the following morning I needed a piece of card so picked it up and happily cut into it
without checking the reverse – duh – now how did it end up upside down (I
expect it is those naughty fairies again). Anyway sometimes I don’t get the
result I want !!!!! so here is my too busy card.
Paper and card - card blank is a 6 inch square
my backing paper was printed from an old download,
Dies used :- Sizzix Framelits Tags Rounded,
Memory Box Winged Swirl and bits of stems.
Magnolia Doily Flowers and
SCACD Alice's Clock Statement Corner & Blank Canvas Torso.
This is gorgeous,love the design.xxx

Oh Flora - those naughty fairies are always on my desk - lol!!! As for your card, I think this is gorgeous and not too busy at all. I love the brightness of it and the diecuts are brilliant. I do hope you are taking care in this cold weather.

Hi Flora,
ReplyDeletefabulous card. What's this about naughty fairies. lol. They seem to like our crafting desks.
I think the waistline is fab. Not that I have ever aspired to such a fab one. I always tell my family everyone see me as a short tubby lady when really they don't see that I am six foot very slim lady, I can just hope can't I.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
