what rhymes with orange

It seems that nothing rhymes with orange or silver.....

anyway, I was looking at Chrissy's Friday fable.
I really enjoyed the challenge last week, and ended up with a card that was completely different top anything I had made before....
This week made me think about angels, something that I do believe in.
I looked in a beautiful book that a dear friend Jenni gave me,
all about having an Angel at your side.
It was full of quotes, poems and thoughts about Angels.

And this one was what I stuck with.....


"The best and most beautiful things in the world
Can not be seen or even touched
They must be felt with the heart"

by Helen Keller.

And I produced two cards...using the poem and orange as my theme....

the first one I really was not happy with....

I tried to make an angel using mulberry paper and it looked like it had been made by a three year old..... I know we should all find our inner child sometimes....BUT!

Anyway......

I am still not able to find the fairies and angels I know I have,

So I had another go at a card, and this one I love.

It has three tiny angels on it , hiding!



the large flower is made from hand made paper I bought with pressed flowers in it,
and the centre of the flower is a Brad you can tie ribbon through from poppicrafts.

Again, that is so pretty and so original, I'm pretty amazed. I enjoy doing Fridays fable now just because it makes me think and go hunt out nice poems , I should perhaps make something afterwards too....
