Guest Designing at FYI

04102011471

Hello friends! This is one quick and to the point post. Bloody migraine.

I am guest designing today at FYI. Stephanie of FYI sent me a gorgeous inspiration picture (shown below), I was so drawn to it and I knew what I had to do.

Challenge #16 10-20

04102011466c

All the flowers, except for the little ones, are handmade. This was made way before the migraine started so you can see I have put in quite a lot of work in this.

You can see the yellow-gold paint spatters and copper glitter balls (Pie Lane) here.

04102011472 This was part of a candy I won at Trina’s blog. I added few chunky glitters (Pie Lane).

Added faux stitching around the top embossed layer. Applied a bit of pearl paint to glam these flowers a bit more.

Finished it off with a fancy bow and button.

I have started my homeopathic meds for the migraine. I hope it gets better soon.

See you soon!

Migraines! No! You poor Darling. I feel your pain & I hope they stay away. For me they seem to be scent related - chemical sensitivity and if I don't take my vitamins they come back. I hope yours go away and stay away. Your card is a vision. The colours, the natural lines of the petals, the branch, the cut out flower paper, the teensy sequin bits. I just wish I could win the lotto so I could visit & just watch you craft your art!
