A quick post

I hope this post finds you all well, hasn't it been a wet week. I hope everybody is safe and hasn't been affected by the flooding. I have seen several bad areas whilst doing my job and feel for all those people who are going through it.

Anyway, some great entries for the recipe challenge, well done to the winner and the top 3. This fortnights challenge at Here Come The Boys is Monochrome. I struggled with this one, it has to be said. I love using lots of colours when I craft, restricting myself to just one was so hard for me !!! I went for a vintage look this time

I stamped my image (cannot remember where it's from ) onto a canvas ATC with my distress inks and used a wet brush to give a watercolour effect

The edges were brushed with Vintage Photo distress ink to give an aged look. I used a Cheery Lynn die for the flourish which I trimmed to fit.

The Post Card is an embossing folder from Docrafts and this was also given an aged effect, a little die cut sentiment was added to this.

                                                                                  

                                                                                  

Well, must go and do the worst job in the world, shopping !!!! Take care everyone

Luv & Hugs

What a busy week ........

Good Morning everyone

I hope today finds you all well. WOW hasn't that fortnight gone fast, it always amazes me how quickly life can just come in and take over. Some weeks go so slow and then others just whizz by, I don't seem to have time to scratch my head.

Anyway, there were loads of fantastic entries for the Teddy Bears challenge over at Here Come The Boys this fortnight. I had the task as Challenge lead of picking the winner. It was a tough decision as there were so many brilliant entries. Congratulations to the winner and the top 3. 

This fortnights challenge is a Recipe challenge. 

The Recipe for your card is : 3 papers, 2 buttons/brads and 1 image.

For my card I have used a new Molly Bloom stamp called Skateboarding George, and again he has been coloured with my pencils. 

  

I used papers in my stash from TPC Studio called blips and beeps, unfortunately I couldn't catch the metallic bits on the paper.  

All the papers have been layered onto navy cardstock

I added my 2 buttons with twine to finish of the design

Thank you for taking the time to look at my post, have a great day and good luck with the challenge
Luv and hugs

Some good news .............

Good morning all, I hope this post finds you all well. I have some fantastic news to share with you this fortnight, after several weeks as a Guest Design Team member, Wendy has asked me to join the main Design Team. I am absolutely thrilled to be asked and obviously have accepted. I cannot believe I have become a Design Team member, it was just an amazing WOW moment for me.

Anyway, enough of my waffle and nonsense and onto the business at hand. Lots of fantastic entries for the Sketch challenge, well done to everyone who entered.

This fortnights challenge is Teddy Bears, and the design team have used images from this weeks sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. I have used Theodore - Flowers for this fortnights card

I really enjoyed making this card, I am still playing with my Polychromo pencils and am very pleased at how this has turned out.

My papers are from the Docrafts Wellington pack and are layered straight onto brown card from my stash. The label was a die cut given to me and this has been fastened with a strand of brown cotton floss.

I love to know that people have taken the time to stop by my little corner of blogland, so please leave a comment so I know you've been. Good luck with this fortnights challenge

Hugs
