If only I had wings....

Good morning everyone!  Well, I'm back.  Such a long day, traveling home from my vacation in England.  Had a wonderful time, visiting and getting to know extended family...and loved all those cream cakes!  I was quite pleased to note that I didn't gain any weight...they aren't fattening at all!  ha ha!

I'm a bit late with this post, as it was actually for a special promotion at Just Inklined, but better late than never.  The image, Chilly Owl is now available in the shop.


Coloured with copics and some liquid applique for a bit of dimension, I decided to give it a frame using the Spellbinders Star Circles die.  The papers are from MME, but I changed them up a bit....using a script stamp in two of the corners and a stencil in the other two.  A couple of leafy flourishes and gems for a bit of trim and another Spellbinders die cut to frame the sentiment.  Something a little different, but I was pleased with the effect.

Hope all is well in blogland, and I'll be around to visit once I get things sorted out here.  Off to the shops now, for some food supplies, then I need to unpack.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day.
