Anna's Blog Candy

Anna is offering some blog candy so thought I would have a go! You have to make a card to celebrate a special birthday and because it's my friend's 40th next week, came up with this one.


It's a similar layout to the 50th Birthday card I made recently. I used a Magnolia stamp and this is the first time I have had a go at paper piecing for her top, the rest of her is coloured with watercolours and Brushables with a little glitter dust for her wings. Cardstock is from Bazzill, paper is from Karen Foster, the sparkly brads are Papermania and the flowers are from Poppicrafts. This is a bit of a first for me cause I've got green in it!! Don't ask me why, but I'm really nervous about using the colour and therefore, tend to avoid it!!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
