City Crafter 327

Hello!

Are you ready for a new challenge at City Crafter?

This week we have an easy one for you... Marina has picked Birthday Wishes and the challenge is just to make a birthday card

I made this card for a male friend who lives near my Aunt

I used a digital image and sentiment from here and coloured it with Copics and found some very old DP from my stash

Hop on over to the Blog to see what the rest of the team have to inspire you this week... We also bid farewell to our Special Guest Star for the month of August... Davi

We've really enjoyed having her along with us sharing her talent

As this is a NBUS digital I'm also playing along with Darnells's NBUS Challenge 

Have a fabulous day lovely people!

Sunlight

Hello...

Today there's a new word prompt at 

Our Beautiful World

And the word is Sunlight

This was taken in the month of November in Palma... Warm, bright sunlight and unless you're a local, no coats are needed... Much like a summer in the UK!

Many of you are fortunate to have warm sunlight all year round, and I have to say it really does make me happy when the sun is shining... This little butterfly loves it too

I managed to photograph this whilst on a beach last year ... the sun coming through the palm tree and the sun halo around it

By contrast, sunlight on snow, close up it sparkles like diamonds

And I love the dramatic sky as the last of the sunlight slipped below the horizon on a Greek Isle

If you have some photos that fit the prompt, link up with us at 

Our Beautiful World

Enjoy your day my friends

Watercolour

Hello there ...

It seems ages since I posted and yet it's only a few days... I've been kept busy with these

and this

You may remember that earlier this year I made "Save the Date" cards for my friend, well now I'm onto the invitations... 50 down and 50 to go.

And Missy ... She's discovered the back garden and is in every nook and cranny... We don't like to let her go out to the front of the house because she can really get lost, I mean that's how we ended up with her, but one quick dart and she's over the fence! 

So I am run off my feet... It's worse than having a child!

I do however, have a card to share that I made a few weeks back when I was playing with my watercolours

Very similar to the others I did but I find them addictive (and simple to make)

Well, I'd better get on with my invitations and catching up with your blogs... I hope you are enjoying your day 

Till soon, be safe

Boo You

Good morning!

It's time for a new challenge at City Crafter and this week the lovely Stella is hosting with a theme

"It's all about you"

Source

The challenge is to create a project that has the word YOU in the sentiment (note: not your or you're)

Here's my card

I used one of the many free digital images from Here, coloured it with Copics and added dimensional gloss to the mushroom, which I cut twice so I could mount it over the frame

As you can see I also made a frame on my card using acetate

Our GD Davi and the team have more inspiration for you up on the City Crafter Blog and we're looking forward to seeing your entries this week

Have a beautiful day

AAA Cards

Hello...

I hope you are well...

Today I'm playing along with the challenge over at AAA Cards...

...Where the challenge is blending and here's my card

I pulled out a few distress inks along with some dies and blended twisted citron and blueprint inks on the leaves and hickory smoke for the little elephant... 

 My blog friend Diane sent me a cute elephant die and here I used the negative part to sponge ink through then took a black pen to add a few lines around his ears and for his eye

I don't know what it's like where you are but here we've had so much rain and it's very dark... The sun put in an appearance for 10 minutes and it was lovely but I think that's it for the rest of the day...

Thanks for looking in - Take care

Summer

Hello and good morning

Last week many of you shared your wonderful photos of bridges at

Our Beautiful World

This week we'd love you to share your photos of Summer

Summer to me is sunshine

...Clear blue skies

Early morning sunrise

...And beautiful sunsets

Flower baskets and bunting

Time spent at the beach...

And in Ginger cat's case getting your belly brown

Hop on over to 

Our Beautiful World

and see what everyone is sharing this week 

Have a lovely day
