Happy Accident of the week

Well! this was my Happy accident of the week!
I was playing with my Cute companions Christams CD and printing out a few decoupaged street scenes to add the little Mice when the last came out of the printer I noticed the blue ink cartridge had not laid any ink. When I looked there where non of the normal linage and the scene looked like a sunny winter evening so I inked the lampost with Adirondack woodlands rainbow ink used a water brush to difuse the lines and make more sepia and added it to the card. I dont think I could make this one again lol

Any Occasion Card

I did not put a greeting onto this card as it would suit anything from a sombre to a light birthday occasion. The lillies are decoupaged then mounted onto two green rectangles and a ribbon tied around the bottom

Orange Poppies

This Card started as a 5 x 7 but was a little too small so I cut it in half mounted it onto gold mirri and then onto a A5 card.
