Last of my swans for a while

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well or getting there...hugs.

A warm welcome to new follower VeeCassidy, thank you for joining my followers Vee :o)

It started raining on my way home from work last night, and boy oh boy it was beating against my windows all night. It's stopped now and calm as a millpond. Wouldn't it be great if it always rained at night and was nice during the day!

On to my cards for today.

 The first one is 8x8. I used a Papermania base card for this one.
Blue card is DCWV, embossed with Embossalicious 8x8 folder then sanded and layered onto the basecard.
I printed my swan photograph and the border onto my usual white linencard before cutting 
with square die (sorry, can't remember where from) and attaching with foam strips to give dimension. Sentiment stamped with Stamps and Smiles then cut with Die-namics horizontal strip die.


For my second card, I used white linencard, folded and cut to 7x5.
My sygnet photograph was printed ont the same white card.
The hessian strip, from my bits box, was covered with Creative Expressions gilding wax .
Diecut is Memory Box. Tiny buttons from stash.
I added the original photograph so you can see the hessian backing reflects the "cage" 
in the water :o)

Snowdrops

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well and happy.
I have two cards to show you today, both made using my own snowdrop photographs. So appropriate at this time of year. Yes, I know that flutterbies and snowdrops would not be seen together IRL, but we can call it cardmaker's licence :o)


Materials;
White linen card cut and folded to 7x5
White pearlised card embossed with Creative Expressions and Marianne embossing folders
Flutterbies from Martha Stewart punch
Foliage from Marianne dies
Main image and mats cut with Nesties
Plain green card for mats
I hope you like them :o)
