Four Seasons

Hello there!

I'd like to share a very simple and very easy project/frame I made last night. There's a hole in the wall in my craft room that I'd like to cover so I thought of making something to cover it...so I don't have to stare at it.

Here, I used the Afternoon Tea Plant from the Little London Collection. And I colored it with Copics Sketch Markers in 4 different shades, representing the 4 seasons.

London Tilda

It's a wet, (but not so) gloomy day here in Chicago. 

A perfect day craft and also to snuggle up and have some hot cocoa or a bowl of warm chicken soup.  And because it is raining, my card for you today features London Tilda from the 

Little London Collection. 

I used Magnolia Blue Vintage Hydrangea designer paper from the Sea Breeze Collection.

As usual, I colored her with DI Reinkers and I stamped the image using Archival Ink Coffee (2nd/3rd generation).  It may look like it's a no-lines technique but actually you can still the light brown lines. It sort of fades when the image is colored with darker ink so it seems like there are no lines.  But in the light colored areas of the image, you can see the lines.

Flowers are from WOC and the charms, metal corner, doily, lace, seam binding are all from my stash.
I also covered the air clay heart with Crackle Accents.  For the rain drops, I used Glass Effects.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Don't forget, tomorrow is Magnolia Day in Boras, Sweden!

There will be prizes and give aways, tutorials/demos and lots of fun stuff!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for stopping by and I really appreciate all your comments...
and letting me know you were here.

See you soon!
Hugs!
