Well, I hope you are all keeping warm just now. I've been perished nearly all day and taking the dog for a walk was not pleasant. There wasn't much of a wind but the windchill was awful. I really could have done with a ski mask, Lol! I can't imagine how daft I would have looked though.
Anyway, as I've not been making anything I can show you this past week or so I thought I'd share a card I made for the Elusive Images DT last year. I used stamps from an A5 set called Portrait of a Lady together with a bird and branch and the Let Your Heart Sing set and the words from Sing Your Song set.
I also used some Artylicious papers for the punched border, flower and the lady's dress which I stamped, embossed and cut out. For the bird and branch and words I inked up the stamps with Cats Eye chalk inks choosing specific colours for specific parts of the images.
I'll probably share a few more of last year's DT makes till I can get Jenna's wedding stuff done but I'm having fun with it all now. I'm also working on new DT designs so I'm pretty busy in the wings at the moment.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow is a tad warmer although my OH said that wet, windy but milder weather is on the way. I can do without the wet and windy bit, Lol! Stay warm and well everyone and thanks for visiting.
Warm hugs
Lesley Xx

This is very elegant, Lesley, and lovely colours. I do like those EI ladies.
Yes, some nice warm weather would be appreciated, but at least the nights are getting noticeably lighter now! xx
Wonderful, Lesley! I love those birds! The sun was a welcome change today. Must have been warmer here because the children were asking to take their coats off during afternoon playtime!
So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it with us. Lovely images and design.

Hi, how good to have you posting again - love your card, the stamps,colours and layout are a great combo. Hope the weather is improving your way. ikki
Hi Lesley
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get here.
I finally feel like I am back to my old self again and am busy on "catch up" duties.
Can't wait to get my repaired laptop back .. .. it seems to take for ever to comment on the old computer and some of the keys are in a different place .. .. which doesn't help.
There is like an extra row on the keyboard and every time I try to hold down what I think is the shift key it thinks I want to print!! Grrr!!!
Anyway, I am pleased you are in mega production mode and that all is going to plan.
Love your card ... especially the little bird on the branch.
Beautiful colours.
Take care matie.
Love Jules xx
