Make a Wish (by Shirley)

Hello everyone, I hope your week is going well.   Please visit previous post here to learn who won a shopping spree at Chocolate Baroque ! 

I have two designs today in similar colours featuring beautiful ladies from the new Fabulous Flappers set.


The background is Cut Grass Dylusions and Gold Glimmermist (hard to see the glimmer in the photo).    I used TCW Echoes stencil with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and stamped a rose from Mackintosh Windows with Olive Archival ink.  The beautiful sentiment is from Loving Sentiments.

I stamped the pretty lady from Fabulous Flappers on separate mixed media cardstock, coloured with Intense pencils and decoupaged over the background.  I tucked in a feather and added glitter.




The card above background was created with Mustard Seed Distress Ink using an acrylic block.  I added the feather design using TCW Peacock Feathers stencil with Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.   I used Black Archival ink for the stamping over the background.  The deco corner is from Steampunk Butterfly and the pretty lady from Fabulous Flappers was coloured with Prismas.

Thanks for your visit and have a great day,
Shirley

    I love the feathers behind the image in the first, especially how the aqua picked out her dress & the tiny hair ornament. The echoes stencil is a perfect 'echo' of the roses on the dress, as are the stamped background Mackintosh roses. Again your use of the stencil in the background for the second is a lovely echo of the hat's ornamental flourish as well as the echoing the fan's shape; I love your use of those corners for framing.

    I love the colour of the dress in the first and that lovely Mowed Lawn stencilling and lovely feather headdress you have given her. The Peacock Feather blue ink looks so different in the second one when put over that vibrant Mustard Seed ink. I love that Peacock Feather stencilling and the prettily highlighted corners, and the sentiment works perfectly on both the cards.
