let's wine a little!


Good afternoon, it's been very quiet here lately, my daughter SIL and granddaughters are away enjoying the excitement of a holiday in Florida, sunshine, fun and Mickey Mouse! They're having a fantastic time, I'm happy to say, the daily photos they send me say it all... missing my girlies though! I've been having a tidy up in the craft room (not getting very far as keep getting distracted by the things I find) and decided I needed to 'weed' the huge amount of craft magazines I have hoarded for years, but of course I have to look through them first to see if I want to keep anything...it's a long slow process! Anyway I came across a tutorial for making an easel card with a box on front, created by adding adding concertina-ed strips of card to the sides of the front panel, so I thought I'd give it  a go...here's the result.
The sentiment inside the box is stamped and embossed with white ep., obviously this needs to be done before putting the box together :) The sweet  Wine Sprite is an Aurora Wings image, coloured with copics.. I'm pleased with how this turned out, especially as it folds flat enough to post in an ordinary envelope.


Thanks for visiting.

    Fabulous card, Chris, your box easel design is amazing. I'm in the process of blitzing my craft room too, not the usual shuffling things around, but re-organising and decluttering. I'm getting there slowly, resisting the temptation to get distracted, which is what usually happens! I have a mountain of craft magazines too, I've gone through most of them, tearing out anything with a technique I want to try and filing in a ring binder. I just need to find somewhere to pass on any complete magazines, rather then put them our for recycling. xx

    What an amazing work, Chris! I love the overall look of this. Your coloring of the Wine Sprite is breathtaking! She looks adorable as a red head. And her outfit looks beautiful with your coloring. Thank you for another lovely entry in our ATG challenge at Aurora Wings. Mitzi xx

    This is brilliant Chris, cute image and the papers are gorgeous, like the stickles around the frame and edges.
    Gorgeous colouring as always.
    How is she going to drink that wine with no mouth!
