A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME..

Morning Everyone,

I don't know about anyone else, but it's been way too warm here in the UK for me this weekend.  I've taken the opportunity to have a play in the craft room and came up with this card.

I decided to use a really old stamp from Penny Black called Good Friends.  I bought it a few years ago, second hand, but have never inked it up.  I have coloured her with copics and also used an old Dovecraft paper pad called Painted Blooms.  I have inked the edges of the circle die and sentiment with distress ink and layered everything up with cream cardstock.

It's going to be another warm one today so take care.  I won't be going very far that's for sure.

See you soon,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where we are having 17th birthday celebrations so the theme is an easy Anything Goes.

For my card I have used the cute Penny Black mice. I think it's called A Stitch in Time and I  have coloured them with copics amd used old LOTV backing papers, together with a gingham ribbon and pearls.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

There are numerous prizes on offer from Buddly Crafts, Lavinia, Highlight Crafts and Art Impressions as well as some surprise goody bags so I do hope you can join us for this special challenge.

FAVOURITE SEASON AT AYLI

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and would like to know what your favouirte Season is and why please.

Mine is definitely Spring.  I love it when the weather starts to get a bit warmer, the gardens start to come to life again and I can get out there and do some tidying.

For my card I have used my Spring Boots again from Dreamees, this time in green and I have pulled out a square doily from my stash and used tags from CraftAddiction UK.  The papers come with the images and I have used a mini scalloped border die from MFT under the striped paper.

I hope you will be able to join us and I will see you again soon.

MONOCHROMATIC

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where the theme to go alongside Anything Goes is 'Monochromatic'.

I have chosen to use a Stampin Up die set, Blossoms in Bloom, with the top layer cut out in white and the bottom in lilac. I have placed them onto white card and then die cut a mat with a double stitched square.

The sentiment has been heat embossed in silver and a final touch of a few sequins have been added.

There are 2 prizes, A5 stamp set and A6 stamp and stencil 

I hope you can join us and our next challenge will be a special Birthday celebration with numerous prizes on offer.

Have a lovely weekend.

FAVOURITE SKETCH/LAYOUT?

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It where we are asking to see your favourite sketch or layout.

This is the layout I usually go to when I'm stuck for an idea.  I find it's well balanced and I'm always pleased with the end result.

I have used a Penny Black image called 'You're the Bestest'  coloured with copics and used kraft card for the mats and papers from a First Edition pad.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

SUPER DOG!

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend.  I've not  been well this last week with a chesty cough and cold, but am just about over it now thank goodness.

When I saw the challenge over at Passion for Markers it gave me a reason to get out an unused stamp set which I bought in the sale at Dies to Die For and this is what I made with it.

 It's a MFT stamp set called Superdog and I have tried to colour each one in dfferent shades of copics onto a postage stamp die from CraftAddiction UK.  They were quite fun to colour and I can see me having another play with them now they're out of my NBUS basket.  The sentiment and little words come with the set too.  It's such a shame that a company as big as MFT has gone out of business.
