Bird Is The Word - Amazing

Haven't been able to post, leave comments or email as I've been having major dramas with our computer.. it crashed and hubby has been working really hard to get it up and running.. I'm really hoping it's fixed this time!!! You don't realise how much you use it until it's down... what a frustrating week!!

On to something a little more interesting.  The new challenge is up at Bird Is The Word and the new challenge word is AMAZING.   There is also a fab sketch from Nadia if you would like to use it to inspire you, which I did for this challenge.


 
Used some Crate Paper & Echo Park pp's with some stamped elements and a gorgeous flower which was given to my by the lovely Karlene.. check out her blog A Pocket Full of Pretties to see some of the beautiful hand made flowers she has for sale.

Retreat LO to Share - You Light Up My World

Here is one of the LO's I created at the Wicked Princess Retreat.  I needed to add a title and tweak it a little before posting.  Used some old Bo Bunny and Shabby Green Door pp's  which I layered, hand cut and punched.  I gessoed the background to create a little light airy feel and added some gorgeous Prima flowers and some chippies from Scrappmatts. I misted and glossed the lamp post and added a few pearls and with the flowers and leaves I used some paper behind them to add a bit of colour.
