Today I have gone back to a favourite vintage paper – Melissa Francis C’est La Vie.I got out my sewing machine and sewed a border around one panel, as the colours are very similar on the two pieces of paper I used, and I needed a little definition. I dyed some lace with some weak tea, and some white seam binding with a little re-inker,and die cut a couple of circles with my spellbinders, and a memory box Fauntleroy crest which I cut in half to pop behind the flower.I finished off with a few drops of liquid pearls.Today was my second monthly lesson over at Paper Flourish, a full class, which went very well – always a relief!For now, I have moved onto boy cards this week and lets see if I can stay on task! Til tomorrow….
