A warm welcome to my guests
I am trying something new today (?tonight) and pre-scheduling this post - I just hope it does what I want it to, as I am dealing with more than one timezone. A bit of a challenge to this 'second time round' blonde!
These are more new releases from McMahon Five Designs
Sarah's Swans is a lovely vintage image which I coloured with chalks and mounted using some lace, text embossed card and silver fabric that I have had for years and a few rhinestones.
The next image in another one from the vintage image called Poppy - yes, some more flower power.
'Poppy' was painted with twinkling H2O's and also had KindyGlitz added for some extra glam. I cut the image out using a Spellbinders Lacy Square die on the diagonal.
This was mounted it onto another square cut with the same die and set square on the dp. The dp is some from a pack from the local 'Warehouse' (Think K-Mart in USA).
The card was finished with some gold ribbon and gold stickles on the diecuts.

Last but not least is a CAS card using the Modern Flowers - Black image and dp by Studio 313 , another name in the McMahon Five Designs range.
This vase of flowers was sized to the card, and printed on white cardstock which was had a frame embossed on it and was then cut to size and layered on some mulberry coloured paper.
The striped matching border was also mounted on the same paper before being mounted on the cream base card, with a frill of lace and rhinestones.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and read this rather long post, and please visit the other designers posts (the links are in my sidebar) for some more beautiful samples of the new releases.
May your day be blessed!
Edited - I had to over ride the pre-schedule as I got it wrong - oh the joys of time zones :-)
