Today I just wanted to share a card that I made while relaxing in between moments of chaos. lol I had this card laying on my desk this morning and my daughter came in and asked "can this be framed"? I figured she wanted it for her new apartment that she will be moving into in 1 week, (that means 2 less adults in my house). I was very pleased that she wanted my artwork on her walls since she is a adult and her taste is different than mine! I will get a shadow box for it and use Maja papers for the background and then bring it over AFTER she is done unloading her boxes!
I used Maja "Vintage Summer Basics for my papers and the post card. I love this set so much. I wanted to create something that I did not have to think or perform, you know just let it happen. I used a card from Pion design of a vintage lady and then let my mind flow.
My flowers, feathers and beads are on top of the Magnolia Peony die.
Here is a closer look of one of the post cards in the back of this paper pack, I made everything with distressed edges, sometimes a bit too much.
Here is the Pion image I used and some gorgeous lace, makes a easy card if the image is already done.
I was given 2 of these sweet Cherubs by a friend and my daughter asked if my last one could go onto her card base. I let her have it because I will see it again. This is therapy for my hoarding problem, letting crafty items go. lol
I had just purchased the Prima chipboard and I loved this You & Me word so I Frantaged it with Shabby Pink and let it heat up and melt longer than usual. I watched the Frantage move around the chipboard until I was happy with it, it looks lined.
Thank you for stopping by my blog as your comments make me smile. Stay warm and healthy!!

I love how you showcased it, and created a wonderful environment that puts it in value , all the beautiful details surround the gorgeous picture, and enhance the beauty of it all, love how you "used" (sorry this is not the proper word in english-i'll try to find a better translation!) theelegance transmitted by the picture and played with it to compose the surroundings. do I make sense? If not, let me tell you I love it all. eautiful! Hugs.
