Hi everyone!!!
Just look at the sweet card Michele Ferguson has up at the Muse Challenge Blog!!!! How could I not want to play along!!!!!
Michele's pocket full of hearts brought a song to my mind!!! This is what I was inspired to make:
...catch a falling star and put it in your pocket....
...never let it fade away...
...catch a falling star and put it in your pocket....
.....save it for a rainy day....
This song comes from some time before I was around, but I know it as it is a favorite of my mom!!!
Done some sponging with DIs.
Stars cut with PTI and MFT dies.
So happy that I could work out a way to add stitching lines to my panels, using my MFT Notebook Edge Die!!!
The die cut word was a gift from a friend!!!
Thanks so much for popping in - your visits and comments are always appreciated!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
Wat een prachtige kaart, de overgang van de kleuren, samen met die vallende sterren. Heel mooi gedaan!! Lieve groetjes, Erna
