Off to Harrogate and a soul flying!

Hello there lovelies! Are you well? I hope so. I'm excited as I'll be heading over to Harrogate to the craft show there today with my mum and lots of ladies from her craft club. We usually have a wonderful day so I'm sure we'll have fun! Will let you know tomorrow!!!!

Today I've got another card to show you I made using the sheena technique from Thursdays card. This time though I went for an inky whole panel. I used distress inks festive berries, scattered straw and barn door and smooshed them over my reverse side of centura pearl and then added radiant rain sprays using a sponge. Once dry I ran the panel through Sheenas embossing folder - A4 maple leaf - then smoosed over the raised leaves in black staz-on. I added a stamped seniment from indigo blue and some butterflies and dragon flies from indigo blu that I had stamped and cut out.



I've made this for my October swap partner as part of the Joanna sheen Forum. I hope the recipient likes it!!!
