Hi ! and good morning to everyone. At last the sun is shining here in South Yorkshire, no more torrential downpours we hope. I have just returned form a boating holiday on the Calder & Hebble canal system in West Yorkshire. I have developed muscles that I was not aware that I had. The locks are the old traditional style, oh boy are they hard to work with a windlass. Some have to be used with a large wooden stick called a hand spike ! not for the faint-hearted !! Although it would help if they were greased up a bit more .
So for my card today, I have posted a pretty ' shabby chic ' style . I really enjoy making flowers, so all the roses on this card have been hand made and coloured by Moi ! The leaves have been die cut, squashed and creased after I have embossed with a dark green and gold embossing powder and edged with a gold leaf pen
I used Anna Griffin paper for the background and vintage seam binding ribbon in a lovely rusty colour that was wet and scrunched up for the ' shabby chic ' look. Dried cream gypsophila was added among roses
I decorated the inside of the card to match, but swapped around the Anna Griffin paper, top to bottom and again used a little of the rusty coloured ribbon..
I hope that you like my card, thank you so much for taking a look and hope that you have a lovely day.
