City Crafter 364

Hello how are you?

I'm due home later today so this is another scheduled post for the new challenge at 

City Crafter

This week Marina is hosting a super challenge ...

Out of This World

Source

The challenge is to create a project using anything to do with Space... Planets, Stars, Or use the phrase "Out of This World"

I chose to do a galaxy card for Ross my adored Great Nephew who recently celebrated his birthday and loves anything to do with space

Whenever I have done a galaxy card before I used sprays but this time I used my watercolour paints on ordinary cardstock

 After adding various paint colours and a few dries in between I did some splattering with gold paint and white paint...I really love the result but probably could never replicate it

Now it's over to you ... Go visit the City Crafter Blog to see what the team have created and link up your Space creations with us this week.

Have a lovely day and I'll catch up with you all soon

Good Morning...

I've just time to do my post for the City Crafter challenge before I finish packing....  

My lovely friend Stella is hosting this week, the theme is Sunshine

Stella is asking that we create a project and add a sun or sunshine...

I went for the latter with a very simple card

Two little birdies enjoying the sunshine that I created just using distress ink and some water droplets

I also added some Nuvo drops and though they do look yellow the colour is actually Key Lime

My sentiment was computer generated but having the word sunshine is NOT a requirement and in case you are wondering the font is a free one downloaded from Pinterest called 'joy like sunshine' - Quite apt

Head on over to the City Crafter Blog to see what the team have to inspire you ... I do hope you will join in our challenge... Please note that as I am away, I won't be able to leave any comments this week but I will catch up with you all when I am home

Have a lovely week and take care

MFT Seagulls

Good Morning...

Did you have a good weekend? We were at my friend's wedding on friday and I was totally shattered by Saturday ... It was a lovely day and the bride looked stunning - Here's a peek of us together

I even managed to get on the dance floor

 My Brother Ron celebrates his birthday in a few days but hubby and I are going away tomorrow so we can't be with him - Still, I made a fun card for him

As soon as I saw these stamps and dies by MFT I fell for them ... The cards made by the MFT design team using this set really appealed to me so I had to have the set. The fence is not part of the set - It's by Impression Obsessins and it works well with the MFT set

My brother often visits the seafront , sometimes cycling or walking and sometimes just to take his Grandchildren Ross and Sophia to play, so I know he will appreciate this quirky card

That sentiment just makes me giggle... 

I'll catch up with you all when I get home and wish you a lovely day

Take care

Painted flowers

Hello there ...

A new challenge started at Double D Challenges yesterday  hosted by Dar's team

Flowers Galore

As I'm on Diane's team I'm not obliged to create a project but I like to when I have the time. Unfortunately time was something I didn't have to spare these past few weeks... But then today I remembered a card I did a while ago which I never posted ...

I painted it free hand and I suppose I just didn't think it was that good, but what the heck! It fits the challenge and also the challenge at CAS Watercolour where my friend Mac is guest designer

So here we go

I'm not sure what they are supposed to be - Maybe cornflowers?

I sent this to my aunt and she liked it - And I feel better to know I've supported 2 of my friends

I'm off for some more Acupuncture shortly ... I must say that it has helped enormously with the sciatica so that's a good thing.

Have a great day

City Crafter 362

Hello there ...

Kirsty is hosting this weeks' challenge at City Crafter and she has given us an inspiration photo to work with

Kirsty is asking that we create a project using the photo as inspiration and to tell us about it

Well, I've not long come home from a beach holiday and that's what my card represents

 

I didn't quite get to use a hammock but I did spend a few days on one of the balinese beds around the pool of our hotel overlooking the Mediterranean... Pure bliss!

The die I used to make this was from an Ebay shop.. They come from China and are so inexpensive if you don't mind waiting a few weeks - I coloured it all with Copics and promarkers and did a little ink blending for the BG.

 

The sentiment stamp is a very old one that came with a free set from a craft magazine

Hop on over to the City Crafter Blog to see what the rest of the team have created and I hope you'll be inspired to join us this week.

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by my blog
