HEART OF FLOWERS

Good Morning All,

I have made another card from a sketch shown below.

I cut flowers with my MFT stitched blooms dies from snippets of pink and yellow papers and attached them to a heart shape to follow the sketch.  This was glued to a piece of linen card cut with a stitched rectangle and the banners were also snippets with a sentiment from LOTV embossed in silver.

FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS

Good Morning Everyone,

A new month so a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas and the theme is "From Our Home to Yours".

For my DT card I have used Distress Oxides for the sky masking off for the moon. I have stamped, coloured and fussy cut two houses from a Stampin Up set called Holiday Home and I've torn scraps of hammered cardstock for the snowy ground and also coloured and fussy cut a tree from a LOTV set.  The sleigh stamp and sentiment are also from the same Stampin Up set. I've added glitter to the torn edges of the snow, but it's not very easy to see.

I hope those of you here in the UK managed to keep cool yesterday on the hottest day of the year.  We had a thunderstorm last night so that cooled things down a bit for us.

CATS OR DOGS?

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge at As You Like It and this time we are asking whether you prefer Cats or Dogs.

I have never owned a cat, although I know a lot of people who do, and seeing as we have two little dogs it has to be dogs for me.  I think they are so loyal and loving.  I know our two always follow hubby where ever he goes and love him to bits! They love me too, but I don't spoil them as much as he does :) .

For my DT card I have used a LOTV image called pup and mouse.  I have extended the flowers on either side on the computer and coloured it all with copics.  Two tiny butterflies have been added  and the Happy die is from MFT die-namics.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

 with a prize for the lucky winner

Well my first trip to the supermarket went quite well on Monday, although my glasses did steam up a little from the mask, and it wasn't too busy which was good.

CHRISTMAS ANIMALS

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well.  It is time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme is Christmas Animals, so all we need is cute, Christmas and animals :).

For my DT card I have used an image from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez, coloured with copics.  I have added a die cut tree from Dee's Distinctively and a scrap of patterned paper cut with a stitched rectangle.  The mat is copper coloured soft sheen card and I have heat embossed the sentiment in copper too.

We are sponsored by:

I am about to make my first trip to the supermarket today.  We have used click and collect throughout lockdown and I never thought I would say this, but I have actually missed having a browse round as it used to be a job I didn't like doing.  I will have to see how it goes.

Have a good week,

SUMMER OR AUTUMN?

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and for this one we would like to see projects showing your favourite of either Summer or Autumn (and you must say why please).

I have chosen summer.  I'm not too keen on it being really hot, but I do love this time of year for the flowers being in full bloom and gardens being at their best.

I have used a Julie Hickey stamp set called Sunflower bee.  I started out by having a play with some texture stamps from Stampin Up in shades of yellow and brown.  The hexagon stamp comes with the set and also the bee which I first stamped on the card and then again to colour and cut out, then just stuck to the card without having to cut round the tiny legs etc.  If you're wondering why I didn't just colour it on the card, it was because I had some blotches from one of the stamps to cover.

I stamped the sunflower with a brown Memento ink, coloured with copics and fussy cut that out too.

I hope you can join us during the fortnight and the sponsor this time is:

FARM OR JUNGLE?

Good Morning Everyone,

Another post from me today and this time it is for the start of a new challenge at As You Like It.  We would like to see projects containing your favourite between Farm or Jungle animals.

I have chosen jungle purely because I have far more stamps/images of jungle animals than those that live on a farm and anyway, who can resist a cute elephant?

My stamp is from Kraftin' Kimmie called Party Animals.  I have coloured with copic markers and the papers are from an Echo Park pad called Birthday Wishes.  It was a partly used pad from a Facebook group and the seller had kindly left me all the snippets too in a little plastic bag.

I didn't have any blue paper  so I coloured round the edges of white card with a marker for the mats. The sentiment came in the stamp set and was cut with a stitched banner die and the balloons were also made from snippets of the same papers.

I hope you can join us this time and pop over to the challenge to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.

I would like to enter:

Pixie's Snippets Playground - the balloons, sentiment, the red and hats dp and the 3 smaller mats were all snippets.

The heavens have opened here just as I am typing this (Weds night) so the garden will have a good overnight watering which we really do need.

Have a good weekend, thank you for visiting and any comments you leave are much appreciated.
