Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Their Big Day

I hope you are happily surviving the extremes in weather we all seem to be experiencing at the moment.  It does not seem to matter where you live, the weather everywhere seems to be not as expected.

The current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is 'Love is in the Air'.  This challenge is about love and romance and not just St Valentin's Day.  My card today is for a wedding we are going to later this year.


This happy couple are from Aurora Wings by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff, the image is called 'Wedding Couple'.  This is such a delicate image, and I did not want to ruin it by over colouring it, so I used Promarkers to highlight just a few area.  I then used my Wink of Stella Brush to add sparkle to the veil and dress.

I mounted the image on Silver mirri and Perfect Plum card.  I then covered a card blank with lilac pearlised card and added some lace from my stash and a spray of Wild Orchid Crafts roses.

Make sure you visit the Crafty Boots Challenges blog and enter your romantic projects in this challenge.

Good Luck


Dionne

      Thank you Pamellia. I think no one does romance quite like you though!
