Red flowers, ant and bride!

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Rosie

I made some Mail Art for TGIF – “Red flowers” – this week, using Ten Two Studios images.

The bride is from the White Wedding set here; the Faux Postage stamp is from the Red sheet here; the stamped images are from MaVinci and the ant is my own drawing!

I was busy making a pair of earrings to match a mini-book-pendant – DT project and finishing off a painting earlier. I know it seems like a lot in one day, but I have been working on the painted panel for the last 2 or 3 evenings and the earrings were extremely fiddly, but I knew exactly what I had to do so they came together quite quickly!! I was helped quite a bit by the mini vice my mate Debs bought me for my birthday – she knew exactly what I needed!

Tomorrow, Nick and his buddy Jim are fishing a Pairs match so I won’t get a chance to do any arty stuff… We leave home at 7am and won’t be back till about 7pm! The trials and tribulations of being an angler’s wife!! ;)

    I love this, Rosie!! Especially your ant! And I have a suggestion: Why don’t you take a pen, some rubber and a carving tool along with you and turn your ant into a stamp? That ant is too great to be seen only once! XOXO
