WOYWW - PIF received

Hi all, and welcome to another Wednesday.  What a great time it was last week - I made it to all the desks, apart from one which I couldn't get the link to work.  Not sure I can promise the same for today though I will try! Anyhow, it's time for What's on your Workdesk Wednesday - 2 years and counting!

My PIF arrived on Tuesday from the wonderful Carola - a beautiful tag and a card with one of her amazing photos (which was very hard to photograph but I tried)

It was taken in the Antelope Canyon, AZ - what an incredible sight!

and this is her wonderful tag! Thanks again, Carola.

Also on my workdesk is my "bling" entry for the Everything Wendy Vecchi yahoo challenge (closed now) that I jsut got in azt the deadline. You can't see it very well as I had problems with the flash bouncing off the perfect pearls spray I used!
I painted the circle with Paperartsy Fresco paint (honeydew) before spraying it with the pearls. I stamped the Papillon background (Tim Holtz) in bundled sage and the butterflies are die cut in claudine hellmuth's sticky back canvas, sprayed with adirondack and.or perfect pearl sprays, before being glittered and having some little blingy centres for the bodies.

Also inspired by Tim Holtz- using Kraft Glassline paper die cut tattered florals and tattered leaves, crumpling them up and brushing with perfect pearls powder, heat setting.  The orange isn't as vibrant as it looks under the flash.  oh, and DON'T open the pot with the lid on the bottom or you will spill a lot of powder......
Just need a project to put them on now!

There is no new stash after all today, as I wasn't able to get to theCraft Barn in the end, we had a bit of an emergency with Mum and I had to look after her at the weekend - and I am aware that sounds begrudging - it isn't really, just disappointment!  Still, next time!

Right, this was meant to be a short post - be off on your way!! See you all soon.
