Another challenge

This is a card that I have entered in The Perfect Sentiment Challenge PSC09 Anything Goes with CASEing. I have cased Sarah Bennett. Her card inspired me because I love flowers butterflies and birds - something I love in my garden. I made a non traditional Christmas card as it is summer here and everything in the garden is blooming. Ina

I uploaded this card in a hurry as I was going out and didn't get time to add some little details.
White cs topped with distressed edged paper. The leaves are sizzix little leaves, butterflies are sizzix beautiful wings. MS fern. Thee flowers are SU Vintage Vogue embossed with distressed lipstick and topped with a pearl. The white cs has been sprayed lightly with silver mist. The sentiment is SU also.

I'm back

Just a quick not to say I am back from my trip to Cairns. My son in law was amazed at how much work I put into his fishing card and he loved it.
With summer weather in full swing here I came back to some work to be done in the garden - the usual mowing and lots of watering as we have had really hot days with no rain.
Now I have to concentrate on getting Christmas cards made. Ina

I have some spare time so thought I would upload this now that it is finished.

This is a card I made for my son in laws 40th birthday.

Easel Card - White cs topped with free download from GinaK. Fishing embellishments, gold fish buttons, twine, shells covered with hair net. Stamp is from SU.

A little holiday

Hello to my little band of friend followers. I was hoping to upload some cards here but as time is running SHORT I will have to leave it till a later date. I am off to a week end with my sister who lives around a 3 hour drive from where I live. We are going to an Isla Grant concert on Sunday afternoon. She is a Scottish singer and we both love her music. We will drive home on Monday to get ready for a couple of weeks with our daughter, husband and grand children. They live at the top of Queensland whereas we are dowm the bottom. We are driving up and will have an overnight stop before getting to her place (Cairns) late the next day. It is my son in laws 40th and am still trying to finish off his card. I will post it here when we return later in the month.
I must be off to get this card finished so till next time I hope you all keep well and have happy days crafting. Ina
