The sentiment DREAM is from Sentiments for you.The inside sentiment was created in Word along with the paper cup digi from Paper Cupcakes.

I have coloured the images with watercolour pencils and then applied crackle accents and glossy accents.Since one of the challenges wanted the image framed I decided to use the mirror and frame the reflection.

The vase image was resized twice into diff sizes in Word and one was copied inside the mirror digi image .The digi image of vase inside the mirror was recolured in grey in Word.The other vase image was coloured and then cutout to create  the impression of real and virtual image .

I got this brilliant idea from Creative mind of Sylvie.

I improvised it with digi images.I have used both real and faux stitching on the designer paper strips.

Flowers in a vase

Hello all! I know I promised only three posts but could not resist this one . My  friend Yenny is not keeping too well and so to cheer her up I sent her these flowers in this vase / wine bucket which I shared with you some time back .I did not do the flowers ...My florist did.

Please have a look.Had made this get well soon tag a few days earlier and it is not a typical Get well soon card ...as you can see it says Hang in there;so decided to use that as well.Here is a closer look of the get well soon tag.

Hope this cheers her up.

Another reason why I chose Yenny for the vase is because she really liked it the last time I posted about it in my blog post and was keen to buy it .Thats another story that I would have preferred giving her wine in that bucket...but nevertheless as long as it goes to the right person all is well.

I am pretty selfish btw...I am doing this so that she feels better soon and we can catch up over a hot cuppa soon.

 Thanks for passing by.

Hugs.

P.S.Yenny called just now and she was really thrilled to receive the flowers. A day well spent afterall.
