Stripy C.A.S

 Hello

We have a great new challenge for you over at the Sisterhood of Crafters 

Dots and/or Stripes 

I will confess now that I went for a very simple and clean design


The striped paper is from an old Tattered lace magazine and the sentiment stamp is from Woodware.

I hope all of you have fun crafting your enteries.

Love to love

Hello my lovelies, it's that soppy time of year again. 

Now I'm not being negative about valentines day but I think we all reach a certain age and all the romance has been used up, and we're happy with a takeaway and a video (a film at home).

But our theme over at the Sisterhood of Crafters is 

Love

we want you to join us in get all lovey dovey, so show us your soppy side.

I have decided to go simple and understated, with another of my F.T.L.S stampsets.


 


I found this lovely Heart paper in my stash (I think it's from an old Tattered Lace mag) and decided it was perfect to go with my stampset (F.T.L.S - Essential Overlay Sentiments).

So for "Love" I used S.U. Melon Mambo and for the "lots of" and "& hugs" I used S.U.Rich Razzelberry Inkpads.

Don't forget to drop by the Sisterhood and leave some well deserved love for our fabulous DT

Well, I have to get back to costume making as Japan Day at daughters Uni is in 10 days. 

And yes of course I'm going to share all the fun we have. I might even put a link to the fashion show video (if I remember to charge the camera 😉)

New Beginnings

 Good morning

Well it's that time again...........Fab'n'Funky challenges and the theme is...........

New Beginnings

so that could be a New baby/house/job/car???

 

I dug out one of my lovely WMS stamp set and used a soft neutral colour palette. 

The nice thing about this stamp is that the door section is an additional stamp, (house has roofed door plus roofed door stamp).

I felt the neutral palette makes the card universal.

Please check out our lovely DT's inspirational examples....Here  And leave them some love.

Feeling Blue?

 Good morning world

I don't no about your weather but ours has been crazy, last week freezing and now, blowing a gale with downpours....ahhhh the beauty of living on an island (300miles at our widest point)

Well that's enough of that, the Sisterhood of Crafters would like to invite you to go

winter BLUE

yes, let us see your blue side, with a variety of shades

 I've tried a little bit of masking with a stencil and then adding a little depth using colour, not sure if I pulled it off. What do you think?

The stencil - Cardio Church Window - you might think these windows are cut out and foam backed BUT no, I traced the the windows, the ran a fineline pen over the pencil line. I then coloured in the background with a Tan promarker, then one the right-hand edge of each I used a Cinnamon then a Cocoa promarker to give depth/shadowing.

The balloons stamp - F.t.L.o.S Birthday Balloons - more masking to get lots of balloons to be passing by the window, the texture stamped in S.U. Pacific point and Tempting turquoise. The balloon strings are free-hand with a fineliner pen.

Sentiment - F.t.L.o.S Essential Overlay sentiments - Happy in S.u. Marina Mist and Birthday in Momentos Tuxedo black, on white cardstock mounted on S.U. Denim blue cardstock (same as lower layer). Mounted to the card with 2mm foam pads.

Our lovely DT have made some inspirational cards, so go over and share some love with them....HERE
