Beneath the Cherry Tree!

 Hello to Everyone, I hope that you are all managing to cope with the strangeness of life at the moment. 

We seem to be galloping through January, it seems like it to me and although we are in a sort of lockdown, thankfully, time isn't dragging, in fact, there seems to be not enough time in the day to get everything I won't to do done, how about you?

Damian loved his birthday card, I'm pleased to say, and had an enjoyable birthday, although quite different from the usual. Thank you for all your lovely comments on his card.

Now it's time for Moreen's card as her birthday is quite soon;

I've chosen dies from Carnation Crafts Beneath the Cherry Tree set. I cut our the gorgeous frame die and mounted it on to lilac card. The flowers and birds are Carnation Crafts artwork called Vignettes and they are die cut too. The sentiment is from the same company. I added Stickles for some sparkle, tiny clear gems and pearls.

 A side on view to show the decoupage of the flowers, except it doesn't really, lol.

This is a gorgeous die set, it's Oriental in theme and comes with, little houses set on a hill and those lovely Japanese bridges, flowers and water lilies.

So, that's me for today, it's been a dark, rainy day here, not a day to inspire, but still another day, so must be grateful for that. It's just so sad all the deaths from the virus, and in a country that's an island, shameful really, anyhoo, you all take care and keep yourselves safe and I'll see you soon,
