Dream Valley Challenge #4: Things With Wings

Hello and Happy Mother's Day everyone, I hope the mums among you have been spoiled rotten and that those without their mums have some happy memories to keep them company today.

It's another challenge at Dream Valley, and this time the theme is a delightful one of Things With Wings. Well, winged creatures are a favourite among us crafters so this is sure to bring us some beautiful creations.

This is my DT card which I've made for a special lady in my life. It's a bit different for me and I think shows the influence of all the Less Is More cards I've been spotting around blogland lately. There's a sense of inevitability for me when I see these inspiring cards by the Less Is More ladies - I feel very drawn to them and know I'll be having a go very soon. So this is me dipping my toe in the water but not giving up the fussy and fancy altogether, lol.

I dug out this pearlescent white-on-white cardstock specially for this card (it came from Osbournes I think and you may have seen it on a card of mine earlier in the week) and I layered it onto silver mirri card. The flower is adhered to a white Nellie circle and a glittery lilac nestie, with a few pearl strands and rose leaf die cuts.  I added some pearly butterflies, pearls, a white ribbon and a computer-generated sentiment to finish it off. It's the first time I've made a card of this size....8 x 8" which feels HUGE.

Rose & pearl fronds: Wild Orchid

Rose leaves: Magnolia Doohickey die

Butterflies, white Nellie diecut circle and lilac scalloped circle, all gifts from lovely crafting friends

Pearls & ribbon from stash

Sentiment printed from computer, font is called 'English'
