Frames Series #11

 I am here again with another frame card. This is such a pretty motif from Spellbinders. I can't remember what embossing paste I used for the background, but I do remember it went on like butter. I used pastel yellow and pink colors. I received the bird and branch dies is a swap and I do not know what company made them. I thought they went perfectly with this frame.

Di's Bio

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at college many years ago, I now work as a medical photographer part time, but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion, and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people. I love stamping and love finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction, and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and it's just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!


Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support.
