Hello everyone,
As promised a new card to post, well new to my blog, but made a while ago.
As I have been feeling a bit down, my card making has been affected as well, my mojo had well and truly 'left the building'. So, any cards that I made were pared down as I really didn't have the patience to create anything elaborate.
This one was for my Dad's Birthday.
I adore this image, those eyelashes! As you can see I loved doing the colouring, it was like therapy, but when it came down to making the card I failed in the embellishment department. Having said that I quite like the way it turned out in the end.
Card recipe:
Image: A Day For Daisies 'Hello Baby Giraffe' coloured with my Copics
Sentiment: Computer generated using the font 'Fabulous 50's' & 'Britannic
Tag Die: Sizzix Framelits ~ Tags: Sentiments
Leaf Die: Simon Says Stamp 'Clustered Leaves'
Brad: Doodlebug Sugar Coated Glitter Brad 'Limeade'
So, note to self, always write down what you have used to make a card, it has taken me forever to remember what was used on this card and looking at some of my lovely fellow card makers blogs, I need to be a bit more 'artistic' with my photos.
That's it for this week, hope you are all well and if there is anyone still following my little blog, any comments you make are always gratefully received.
Hello blog buddies,
I have decided to surface yet again!
I am still struggling to get my craft room sorted, the house move has had a huge impact on everything! 14 years worth of stuff transported from our old house by ourselves (we couldn't get a removal company for the date we wanted to move) to the new house. It has forced me to go through every box and question whether I want the items in them or not. An awful lot of the 'stuff' was in our huge loft in the last house and very much out of sight, so a massive clearout has ensued! We should really have done all this before we moved.
I have been ebaying and have made several trips to the local recycling centre in an effort to reduce the piles of 'stuff' down.
Anyway, amidst all this chaos I have made a card for someone who keeps bees and as this stamp had never been inked up before, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to do so.
CARD RECIPE
Image: Stamps Happen ~ #60058 Bees
Copic Markers
Cardstock: PTI 'Stampers Select white cardstock'
Sentiment: Simon Says Stamp 'Happy Birthday' die
Embossing folder (used on edge of card): Darice 'Honeycomb Background'
Gems (used on the end of the Bee's antenae) from my stash
Clear Wink of Stella (used on the wings)
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Sentiment Designs ~ Somethings With Wings
Critters & Creatures ~ Anything Goes
So, that's all for today, back to the sorting out for me.
Thank you for visiting my little blog and I'll see you soon.
