I've used another of the Tyvek sheets that sit in the bottom of my home made spray box, there's lots of gorgeous colours and even some Silver/Pewter spray along the bottom, but difficult to capture unless it's in sunlight. After cutting to size I stamped the sentiments and swirly music notes with black Versafine. I did intend to heat set with clear EP but stopped just in time - Tyvek reacts with heat, you can create some fabulous textures, but that was the last thing I wanted on this!
I stamped and fussy cut the Dancing Woman from Rubber Dance and after colouring with Abandoned Coral DI, added her on foam pads, but still quite flat for posting.
I am entering this at Country View Crafts - Anything But Cute
Looks like we're in for some cold weather over the next few days, and even some snow. The spring bulbs are showing and snowdrops are all flowering and after some sunshine this week it felt like Spring could be on it's way - not yet.
Have a great day, whatever you're doing.

A fabulous card Avril and the sentiment stamps work really well with your main image. I bought the magazine too as I can see these stamps getting a lot of use, especially as our Son loves music. I don't dance on tables either but it does sound like a lot of fun! Great colours and I love your background too. I do hope that life is treating you kind. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
A wonderful card Avril!

Happy weekend!

What a beautiful card Avril! Love your tyvek background. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Hugs,Chrisx
Love your card Avril and those quotes are really great!
I looked at the forecast for next week and there appears of nights especially going below zero - hopefully the cold snap doesn't last too long and ruin the bulbs coming up.
Have a lovely weekend.

Oh Avril, never have I gasped so when I read about your tyvek sheet when about to heat set it!!.. it does indeed melt and creates some amazing effects but not what you would have hoped for on your super project. I love the dancing woman, so elegant dancing along a merry tune. Lovely design.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Tracey x
Those quotes are really worth having! Great card, too. Have a nice weekend, hugs, Valerie
I can see how the sentiments tempted you into buying the magazine, they are super.
Its a beautiful card with a lovely background.
Not looking forward to snow again, but its on its way. Our snowdrops are through as well, but haven't flowered yet.

What a beautiful card! The spray on the paper is amazing and I love how your lady is dancing over the pretty music notes - perfect 😁. I hope you had a lovely weekend, it was sunny here today so we had a wonderful walk along the beach with our friends. Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊

This is beautiful Avril, I really like your dancing lady and the sentiments are perfect for her. You made me laugh with your comments about the Tyvek, I did exactly the same thing a few weeks ago. Thank you so much for joining in with us at Country View Crafts, and have a very happy week. Sue xx
