Crafty Muse ~ Mayday

Over at Crafty Muse the next challenge
will be a MayDay Creation ...
love, flowers, romance!

So we are looking for cards or makes that celebrate
the start of May, Spring or Beltene.
It is the time of year when warmer weather begins
and flowers and trees start to blossom.
It is said to be a time of love and romance.
It is when people celebrate the coming of summer
with lots of different customs that are
expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.

Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season
when the herds of livestock were driven out to
the summer pastures and mountain grazing lands.

There is a prize for this Challenge.
The winner can pick a download package
and
there will be new download packages available soon !!


Now....using vellum. and acetate.
combining it with crap lighting....
makes good pictures hard to get!

So I used Angelique and coloured her
like a sparkly daisy!
The flowers are vellum punched out
with wee green gems.
Acetate was stamped with my fave flower
stamp using white stayzon.
Cutting out the window with my nestie.
I also cute the same but smaller in yellow
and used it inside to cover the acetate edges.




Inside is another piece of green vellum
with flower peel offs coloured with sukura.


Angelique was given some sparkle
with glamour dust to her wings & petal skirt.
Come on over, join in & see what the other
DT girlies have made this fortnight!
