No cards made today but I've made something I've been looking at for a little while, I saw it in the Stitch magazine and really wanted to have a go. In the mag all the lace embellishments are dyed , I don't have any dyes so I used glimmer mists and spray inks and got just the effect i wanted,I should say that all the lace bits started off as white, the background has also been sprayed then overlayed with cut pieces of organza and silk then over stitched.- I really am so pleased with this piece.
I have one FME lesson left and this evening the first lesson of Sumptuous Surfaces came thro', I have 34 pages to read thro before I can start it, oh boy!!!

This is just beautiful Maureen. Fabulous work and lovely colours xx
Your casket is gorgeous Maureen - I love it, and what a great idea to spray the lace with Glimmer Mists instead of dyeing it. Looking forward to seeing your 'Sumptuous Surfaces' - sounds like a great course.
Am speechless..............honest I am.... x
I have been looking at this casket in the Stitches magazine for several weeks now so maybe I will have a go afterall.
Thanks for the tip about using spray mists to dye the lace -never thought of that.
Hello Maureen, Your Treasure Casket is down right gorgeous. I reckon you should be a teacher, you are so creative. I have lost your email addy so I can not write you personally. Can you send me a note. Thanks Hugs Judy
