Hi everyone, my card today is for
Our Creative Corner where the challenge this week is to use your favourite colours. I've gone for burgandy and cream for this card and used my shoe image soon to be available in the digi shop. The image is watercoloured with distress inks and a bit of marker colour too and there's lots of gold and copper stickles for the encrusted jewels over the front of the shoe. I've borrowed the Bette Midler quote which
Sarita used on her fabulous shoe card for CC a couple of weeks ago and which I loved and used the background stamp that she inspired me to buy together with an Elzybells flower stamp but I've used versamark to stamp instead of ink Thanks for the great inspiration Sarita and I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea? :) I've layered up the image on BasicGrey Wisteria paper and Canson burgundy card, the bottom layer I've punched with an MS lattice arch punch. To finish I added the sentiment, pc generated and printed on Safmat, a May Arts ribbon, gem and gold and copper stickles.
The Robin Tales (thanks Jo :D )
The fledgings must have all gone from the nest as Mrs. Robin is very busy building a new one!!!! Appears we've got to go through all this again! I've been reading up about Robins and it seems they can have five or six clutches in a season, yikes, looks like we're not going to have our garden to ourselves all summer!

Ummmm this looks like a work of heart. I LOVE this Chris. What a beautiful way to use your image. Great bling. Super job. I bet you miss the robins. I am surprised they have so many "flocks". I didn't know that. Hugs.
