I felt in the mood for some digital scrapbooking this morning and used photos from my garden. This is a new plant this year called Francoa Sonchifolia - more commonly known as 'Bridal Wreath'. Very pretty and delicate....
The Echinacea (or Rudbekia Purpurea) is settling in nicely and has produced loads of new flowers....
And the Alliums (or 'Black Garlic') were great this year.....so sculptural.....
(All digital bits and pieces are from Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals.)
This week I've been fiddling with the sari silk ribbons and threads. I stitched them onto my ink splattered papers which I first bonded onto tea bag paper (from Jackie - she sells it in her etsy shop). Above are a few close-ups.
Its a work in progress.....still need to add some french knots, beads and hand-stitching.
Now I really must get on with my journal ....have a lovely weekend!

Gorgeous scrapbook pages. What are the chances of you taking the sari ribbon pieces with you on Monday - would love to see them in person, even unfinished?

Fabric stuff is definitely your natural metier Linda - you're just SO good at it! These ribbons are to die for! Like the digital collages too ...
Lovely ribbons, Linda! We have a bridal wreath but it sure looks different from yours!
You never cease to amaze me Ms Blue Eyed Girl, just look at the fabric art, they already look fantastic, and this is something I have always wanted to try. Don't think I have that silk though, is it easy to work with?
I also love your digi scrapbook pages, I really miss my coneflowers (echinacea) I will plant some next year once I get a flower garden started :)
Hi Linda
I want to eat your ink splatter papers with sari silk ribbons (am drooling over here).

OMG those sari threads are stunning, I bet they feel gorgeous too.
