Something.........Wedding

Hi there lovely friends (and hi to new friends too) xoxo

So in between all the un-packing of the dusty boxes and bags from the house move I've managed a little time-out here and there - about 2 days worth of lovely crafty time and oh I've enjoyed myself - as usual lol Can't wait till i'm crafting full time again.......soon, so soon - YeY!!!

I've used new stash I bought from my Fabulous workshop day with Finnabair aka Ania Dabrowska - that extra heavy gel medium sure does the trick Ania (thank you for sharing your art :-)  and I can't get enough of Ania's photo-shopping techniques - just love the Luminartes over the top of the Tim Holtz chalky distress paints - adds a little zest to my shabby-chic style.

So it's off to Cyprus with this little card - hope the bride and groom likes it.

I'm off for now too (not Cyprus - boo hoo lol - cuppa tea time now x

Thanks for popping by Kassa xoxo
