Wings






















My easel card, and some closer views















Hello, it's Monday again, it comes round so quickly. I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.  It is time for another theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge, this
time it was our lovely Heather's turn to choose the theme and she chose "Wings" - Use something on your creation that has wings, it could be birds, ladybirds or even butterflies.  As soon as I saw the theme I knew which stamp I had to use, Tweet Kisses HMJR1035, my papers are leftovers from a DT kit used at Stamping Sensations.  I used a lot of distress inks on this including to colour my butterflies. For my butterflies I went with London fog Memento ink, it looks a lot more subtle than using black, which sometimes could be harsh.  My eldest son bought me it, how sweet of him, I did wonder what I would use it for as it's not really a stamping colour and i'm not good at using inks for other stuff unless they are distress inks.
Of course you must use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.

Your easel card is very pretty Tracy and I really like the image, after poppies violets are my favourite wildflower.

They take me back to my childhood when every Mothering Sunday our vicar used to take all the children from our school (there were only 24 of us) the pick bunches of them in the Rectory Gardens to present to our mums in church on Sunday.

Thanks for the memories.
