City Crafter 300

Hello! 
Happy Tuesday to you ... Lovely to have you visiting me today
There's a new challenge over at City Crafter and it's challenge 300! Heck, I can hardly believe we done so many challenges! 

This week it's the turn of my dear friend Stella to host for us and her theme is  Polka Dots


A simple challenge ... Just add Polka Dots to your project or card
 

I know you've seen this style of card from me before ... I love that cityscape and it's great for a male birthday card... which this was. In this case I layered up the cityscape both in black and some CS that I painted and splattered


I love the look of the b/w polka dots along with the striped paper


For the 4th week running we have the lovely Andie Miller Guesting with us ... Click the link on her name to go visit her blog
We'd love it if you popped on over to the City Crafter Blog too and see what our team have created ... maybe you'll be inspired to join us this week?

I hope you have a wonderful day ... Be safe

Just a Note

Hello... How are you?

It's a wet and miserable day here in Liverpool... Hubby has gone away to visit his brother and I am having a peaceful day... I saw a quote on Pinterest this morning and thought it was so apt
"I am currently unsupervised... The possibilities are endless" 

I have a little card to share using another Woodware stamp ...I got to Skype with my dear blog friend Stella last evening and whist I was waiting I started to colour these pretty flowers


I had a scrap of CS that I previously had run through my printer to colour in Cashmere Mist so I used that to stamp and emboss on then used my copics


The banner sentiment looks like it is on wood grain paper but actually I just ran one of my copics W-5, across a scrap of the white linen CS ... I loved the effect it gave so punched out a few little hearts too
 

That's all I'm doing for now ... I've decided that I'm going to curl up with my kitties and watch a movie... Bliss!

Have a lovely day my friends

Woodware Owls

Hello!
We have sunshine today and it's so welcome after all the rain and dark days we've had lately...

I recently bought a couple of Woodware stamps that were in the sale, one of which features owls, and today I'm sharing a card that I made using that stamp


The not so perfect colouring was done with Copics (I'm still learning) and I stamped the image twice so I could cut out the little owl and the wings to the other two and give it some dimension

 
 It's just a fun card, not my normal style I know but I couldn't resist these guys


I hope your day is a special one too - Thanks so much for stopping by

Till soon

City Crafter 299

Good Morning!

I'm hosting the challenge over at City Crafter today and I've chosen the theme
Negativity 


Create a card or project using the negative part of a die
(The part that's left after you cut out the shape)

Here's my card


I did some sponging and stamping on my card base and cut out a butterfly on another piece of card to use the negative


Just to finish it off a little I cut some antennae from a scrap of paper and added some sequins
The BG stamp is by Woodware and the sentiment stamp is from a set by Wplus 9


 Our month long Guest Designer is the lovely Andie Miller ... Hop on over to the blog to see what she's created for us and check out the projects from the rest of our team

The challenge over at AAA Cards at the moment is Sequins

So I'd like to enter my card there too ...

Like my sentiment says, I hope you have a beautiful day!

I {Heart} You

Hello there...
Did you have a lovely Valentine's day?
I was quite spoiled with flowers, chocolates a cute teddy bear and even a sweater - I got to his heart

See, 2 days before I took DH for a birthday meal at Viva Brazil in the city ... They have a barbecue of 15 different meats and an amazing hot and cold buffet ... It's all you can eat all night long ... DH was in heaven! And in my case it's true that 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach' hee hee!

I'm sharing the card I made for him for Valentine's - To be honest my inspirations was completely dried up and I resorted to putting together a card using some of the many bits and pieces I had stored


Not your regular Valentine I know, but he loved it 


I also did a little book folding having seen the amazing work by a lady called Clara Maffei Here
I loved those animals and here's mine


Kinda cute huh?


I'll be back tomorrow for the new challenge at City Crafter ... Have a great day and thanks for looking in
