It's been positively ages since I entered a challenge at CR84FN ... due to other commitments I don't always have the time ... but these last few days we have the decorators in, which means someone has to be here and it's always me ... I think my husband was a gipsy in a former life ... he just can't stay indoors. But of course that gives me more time to play ... This is a card for a sweet friend of mine who is now in her 80's and has a birthday very soon ...
The colour combo at CR84FN this week are Blue Orange Yellow and this is the lovely vibrant photo
My card is quite a simple one ...
The little bird is a transparency from a book a bought ages ago ... trouble is everything sticks to it so if you see little marks ... it is bits of glitter from the frame
Those pretty little pearls were a gift from sweet Suzz
and the lovely pin is handmade from my lovely friend June who also sent me these
... a lovely handmade ornament
... and this adorable tiny decorated cotton reel with beautiful pins
Thank you June ...
Now I have to go make a cup of tea for the workers ... have yourselves a lovely day
