Card and collage



Hello Everyone. How quickly the days are passing this week. I can't believe it is already Thursday and half of that has gone as well. Nice to have you find time to call in even when the time flies by so quickly--thank you 

At Tando Creative Challenge this time the layer is Lovely Layers and you have the whole of August to join in

I made this card for our neighbour who is moving to Scotland to help his son and family. We have loved having him as a neighbour and will miss him lots.

I made the papers for the card in Paint Shop Pro but the card with the butterflies on it was given to me by a friend so I cut some of it out into the shape for a layer on my card.

Then there are three of the beautiful Tando Stars from a grab bag of stars and also a bit of ribbon to add some extra colour to the top of the card.Think it may be 6 layers altogether.


Now to Three Muses this week where  the theme is Friends.


It is lovely to have friends and I have had many in my life--still have one from when I was 7 years old.
Then there are friends you wish you hadn't had and this collage is meant for one of those :(

Well I can't be nice all the time 

Hope your day is going well or went well if it is evening already.

Love

    When a good, longtime neighbor moves it's like a part of the family leaving. I hope all goes well for him and his family.

    Very sweet card you made for him, I'm sure he'll appreciate it always.

    Cute friend card...keep up the fun.

    Blessings,

    Ahh... the friends are sweet, and I really love the starry card - especially the layered stars themselves. Is that pen signing your name new? Very cool!

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
