These are my pages for the challenge being hosted by Renee
over on The Artists' Nest Ning site.
March
The theme was 'flowers'.
I kept this page entirely fabric - apart from the card base.
All the pages measure (approx) 3" x 5".
I used Sizzix/Alterations dies -
flower (Tattered Florals)
picket fence (On the Fence)
Here's what the back looked like
April
The theme was 'wings'
Again, starting with a card base, I stuck handmade paper
onto it and coloured it with Dylusions ink spray (sky blue),
then Distress Stain (dusty concord) then a liberal
spritzing of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (marshmallow).
The image was one from my stash - I coloured
it lightly with pink chalk.
The bits of trim were die cut handmade paper using
Sizzix/Alterations - vintage lace.
I die cut the wings from more of the handmade paper
using Sizzix/Alterations (Heart Wings)
and embossed them using a folder too.
Thanks for looking :)

wow, very nicely done! Are these pages you're adding to a mini album? Would love to see the whole album! waving hi from the bird chirping hills of North Carolina :)
Your mini album is going to look fabulous Sherry with those fine pages! Love your angel page, truly serene and wow, could you cut this easily through the lace with your picket die? Fab result! Ira x
Lovely tags!
I like how you used denim in the background. Now I know what to do with my old jeans. I can use them in art! ;D
Have a great weekend!

They're lovely Sherry!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!! I particulary love how you mix paper and fabric in your pieces!
Both stunning, Sherry. Love the colour scheme in March and the gorgeous angel in April. Didn't know you were also an Artist's Nester.
oh wow your tags are gorgeous and am sure it looks totally fab as a book. Annette x

i think these are both stunning Sherry :)
Oh these are just so wonderful, although so different. I love the soft colours you've used for April and the other is just so striking - love the material.
Fantastic! Love the fabric page especially the fence made out of lace. That floral fabric is lovely, really retro looking. Beautiful angel on the other page!

Love how you've used denim in the first one Sherry. I've got an idea to use a denim pocket as a mini book cover. Not my idea - saw it on Pinterest! :)xx
Gosh. That flower page is so pretty. I'm not a denim person don't/won't own/wear a pair of denims but I'm warming to the idea of using in art. Hugs Mrs A.
