GIRLS,DIES AND PUNCHES.....

Hi....well the weathers alittle brighter here today...and really should go and have a hour in the garden,may do this afternoon.I've made a card this morning...to cover a few challenges and must say i'm happy with the way its turned out....such a cute image.

The image i've used is  from a Morehead acrylic stamp set "Raindrops" by Crafters Companion....i've coloured it using a mixture of Copics,Promarkers and Prisma pencils.
The apeture has been cut out using a Spellbinders nested circle die (the largest in the set)and then i've mounted it onto the card over the image using 3d foam tape.
The picket fence is an Xcut border die.....the flower branch is a Marianne Creatable one "Branch Forest" and i've finished it off with some tiny punched out flowers from a Hobbycraft punch,and added some tiny self adhesive pearls to the middle of each one.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges :-

LESS IS MORE....

Hi.....just a short post from me today....and a CAS card too.

Like i said yesterday haven't done much crafting over the last two years...so i'm easing myself back into it....

There could be no better challenge to do this than THE LESS IS MORE....popped over there first thing this morning to see what the theme was....and this week its "CATS and/or DOGS".

After getting my jobs done decided to join in...and here's my card below ( sorry photo's not brilliant ).

The image i've used is a Joanna Sheen one i've had from when i first started crafting...it's off a A4 sheet all different cat images....it's been sencond generation stamped (for a lighter finish) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink...i really wanted it to look like a pencil drawing.

The sentiment was stamped the same and is an old Elzybells one.....no longer available...i loved her stamps.

I've finished off with alittle washi tape and a couple of staples.

Well thats about it for now....Hubby's home from work and need to do the food shop.

So bye for now have a good weekend

Take care

OMG....IT'S BEEN THAT LONG I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING !!!!!!!

OMG.....IT'S BEEN THAT LONG I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING !!!!!

Firstly HI to all....it's  been two years since i last blogged...and boy what a shock i had when i signed in to do this post....all change...so if this posts all over the show don't be suprised....LOL.

I haven't done much card making over the last two years....none really with any colouring on...in fact i haven't really done any colouring  during this time.....and have even purchased cards...now how bad is that!

I decided it was time to see if i could still step up to the mark....so yesterday i picked this gorgeous "Ava" image from Saturated Canary...sorted a couple of challenges out and set about creating a card..YAY!

So onto the card.....the challenge over at Saturated Canary at the moment is "Emerald" with a photo too for alittle inspiration....i've coloured "Ava" with a mixture of Copic's,Promarkers and Prisma Pencils.

The base card ive embossed with a A4 Embossalicious "Perfect Paisley" embossing folder.

I've used a scrap of Core'Dinations cardstock....alittle glitter for the ballon,ribbon and button from stash.

I've followed this weeks sketch over at Sketch Saturday....lovely sketch Jen...and perfect to ease me back in.....So with that i'll love and leave you for now...hope i can do the links..

Take care
