Bottoms Up!

Hiya! I'm back to share another card I've made, this time just because I loved this new Lili of the Valley stamp set. I thought it would be great for male / female / old / young cards. This time around I was going for a older, gentleman type feel! I kept the colours muted (these are actually from a Christmas pad!) and the embellishments to a minimum. Thanks for looking!

Morning! I'll keep this fairly brief as I'm not feeling too good at the moment - one too many glasses of bubbly at my friends birthday party last night  has left me a bit green and looking at the computer screen is making it worse! : S

I've made this card for Pixie's Crafty Snippet challenge amongst others, I always meant to join in with this when Jules was looking after it and never got around to it but now my snippets and scraps are all organised, there's no excuse! The image was one I coloured up ages ago but didn't use and the papers are all scraps.

Thanks for looking, I need to put some warpaint on and head out to my MIL's birthday lunch! Wish me luck! ;D

Hello! I'm back again this morning to show you a little baby card I've made. I've made it a bit of a mission to use up more of my scraps and I thought this sketch was perfect for that. I've gone for another clean and simple style card to show off the cute image. I coloured the little hanging mobile in pastel colours (badly but never mind!) then I coloured some little clear gems to match it. Thanks for visiting, I hope you have a lovely day!

Truly Scrumptious Challenge #68!

Eveing all! Sorry this post is so late but I've been moving house all week. Almost everything is up together now (downstairs anyway!) But there's another challenge up over at the Truly Scrumptious challenge. This fortnight is was Lisbeth's turn to choose a theme and she opted for Shaker cards/boxes. This is not something that came easily, and I'm not a big fan of the crad I made either - although that's more down to how garish the red around the frame looks!! Not sure why that is! But anyway, there's a fab prize of 3 digi stamps from Sketching Stamper to be won by one brave lucky crafter!!

Here's the challenges I'd like to enter into:

Sketch and Stash Challenge - this sketch (everything on this card is sorely neglected and the stamp has never seen ink!!)
ABC Christmas Challenge - U = Unused stash (see above!!)
Top Tip Tuesday - Layers

Thanks for dropping by! xx
