What A Cutie!

I told you I'd been colouring with my new pens and the following card was made up with an image which Vanessa kindly sent me......isn't she a cutie! (the image, not Vanessa!!!) I was quite pleased with the way the colours turned out on this one.


The papers are from DCWV Pocket Full of Posies stack and c.s. is Bazzill Bling. I actually used my Quickutz Flourish die for the first time - it's been sat on my desk unopened for about a month!! Flowers and brads are from my stash. Finally, added a couple of Papermania sticky gems to the flourish. I really must practice my photographic skills as you can't see the gorgeous glitter in the papers and the sheen on the Bazzill c.s. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!

Must go and sort my hair out now as I'm meeting one of my pals for coffee and might just pop into Craft Central (it's on my way home!). Hope you have a nice dry day today - it's actually stopped raining down here so I've tempted fate and put the washing out!

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.
