I love Warwick Castle! 'To the Manor Born' one more page with 'Invitation'.

Hi to all of you! :-)

I may not say it very often but, really, I want to say Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! 

And thanks so much for all the beautiful and sweet comments that so many of you leave me.

I am always so happy thinking I may inspire some of you as I find so much inspiration coming to visit your blogs! 

Let me say; it would not be the same without you...LOL!

Today I have another page using the latest one of the collections from Les Papiers de Pandore to share with you. This collection is called 'Invitation' and has an utterly feminine feel to it.

The photos are of Victoria our middle daughter who is 17 years old. All of us girls spent a fabulous day out at Warwick Castle while visiting eldest DD Alexandra who is a student in the UK.

Victoria was standing at the entrance to the old tower and I could see it made for a pretty photograph. 'Stand still,...click, click, click... She really looks like she belongs 'there'...lol!

Again I made a collage of closeups to show some of my details on this one.

I started off covering up an older sheet of patterned paper that had a pattern I did not want to use. 

I added stips on top of this 'backing sheet' until I liked the look. I used both punched and plain strips.
I made this during my vacations and I seem to have developed a certain love for using strips on my lo's during that time.... :-) You will see more of those in my next few layouts for Pandore.

I  glued down all my bits and pieces while all the time adding strokes of gesso paint, mist, ink etc to build up the texture and stiffen it up a bit.I used a mixture of home made flowers and store bought.

I also added a lot of yummy buttons that I made messy with some gesso.

I hope you like it :-)

Till next time take care!!
