Friendship

Well, another weekend gone in a blink! I seem to have spent the last two days just working, but it's that time of year I suppose - we're either getting the kids ready for their exams or helping them to choose their subjects.

However, I did manage yesterday evening to take some time out to make a little something.  I bought a pack of square doilys on Ebay and they arrived so quickly; I knew I had to try one out straightaway!





I used one of my all-time favourite Girls Paperie papers and put the doily on top with a Doohickey swirl cut from white Bazzill.  The image is one of the more recent Tildas and I coloured her with Copics, adding some Glamour Dust to her ribbon, dress and the flower.  Her dress is a bit more pink irl but like most of us, I'm struggling with the lack of light at the moment.

I cut the fence with another Doohickey die and distressed it with some Aged Mahogany DI before adding a few flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I stuck it onto the card with decoupage glue so that I could bend it a little. The sentiment is a rub on I've had for years and has been cut out with a die by Whiff of Joy.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

TOMIC - Friendship + use a Doohickey die
Just Magnolia - Use a Doily

Have a lovely week everyone!

Hugs,

Tracey xx
