Blue and Yellow


Good morning everyone and what a beautiful day it is down here in Sunny Dorset....yes sunny!! No rain but brilliant sunshine...it makes such a nice change! Only trouble is, I'm looking at the garden and thinking it really needs a tidy up and the lawn is in real need of cutting!

Anyway, let's forget the lawn for a moment and talk about the challenge on Tilda & Friends ATC blog!! This week it's....

"....the inspiration for the ATCs this week is taken from the colours of the Swedish Flag, the home of Magnolia stamps...."



Kept this one simple and decided not to wander from the blue and yellow. I made the sky with an ink pad and tore some blue paper from my scrap box to create the "foam" on the top of the waves. The sun was coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and then glamour dust was added to the whole image. I cut it out and then stuck it to the top of the ATC, trimming off some of the edges. The Tilda image is one I bought over the last couple of weeks and think she is just so cute! Sam, my youngest, asked what the yellow thing was behind her and when I explained it was her rubber ring, he said "Oh, I thought it was her bottom"!!!!! Coloured Tilda with Prismas and Sansodor with some glamour dust on her wings (of course) then fixed her to the ATC with foam pads. Fixed the bottom piece of "sea" with foam pads as well to give the effect of her standing in the water. Sentiment is a small sticker from my stash.

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.
