Crocus time.......

Well it`s Monday again where does the weekend go, boy it`s great not having to go to work. Now it`s get up take your time, have a cuppa then decide how you are going to spend the time lol. Won`t be doing this tomorrow as hubby has his hospital appt so it will be up early to get there by 9, then probably 4-5 hours just waiting around while they do the tests (fingers crossed it`s nothing bad), so I probably won`t be about depending on how the day goes. Now onto the card I had a play at the weekend with a few of my crocus photo`s and here is one that I came up with
Recipe

Paint Shop Pro X2
My  Craft Studio Professional
A6 card from stash
Gems from stash
VersaMagic Pretty Petunia

I took the photo into PSP and put frame around the image. I looked the meaning up for crocus and it came up with the meaning of cheerfulness and gladness and also it was dedicated to St valentine. I also shrunk the image to fit between the sentiment and printed strait onto the card. The backing paper was made in MCS with 2 different shades of purple one placed behind the other then digitally stamped the leaves so the darker colour came through, placed th main image on top and printed. I then distressed the edges with the versamagic and placed topper and gems onto the card.

  7. Beautiful - clever to be able to take a good photo in the first place and clever to be able to manipulate it. Mx

  15. Another really gorgeous card, I love the colours and I think the way that you have made the backing paper is brilliant. It's really interesting to know the meaning for crocus too.
