Anyone For Golf

Afternoon All.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I've been a busy bee today and altered a wedding dress this morning. Number two son has disappeared round to his friends for the afternoon, so the house is peaceful, except for the kittens, who are having a mad half an hour chasing each other round the house, spurred on by the eldest son.

Anyhow, I have been trying to focus on my bear class this afternoon, and had this Design House decoupage paper ready for the class. After starring at it blankly for a while, hubby arrived on the scene bearing a mug of coffee, and said "Why don't you do a golf ball easel card". Well that was it, off I went and this is the result.

I have textured the white card with a Crafts Too folder, and defined the edges using distressing ink. Then I have simply created a circular easel card using a Quickutz cookie cutter, before mounting on the decoupage - "Simples !!!!"

Fairy Wings

Afternoon All.

I've been playing this morning, trying to come up with some cards ready for my Bears class next week, but got sadly side tracked with my new Wild Rose girlie stamp, which I have turned into a fairy ready for my Fairy Fantasy class at In 2 Crafting on the 12th November. The wings have been cut using a Marianne D's butterfly die from white glitter paper, then mounted onto turquoise, with the holes filled in with glamour dust. I have used the antennae from the butterfly to give the little girlie her beadly boppers.

I'd like to enter it into;

LOTV Candle

Afternoon All.

I thought I'd try something different today, so I have decorated a candle - thanks to my Sister Fred for the destructions.

The image is from my favourite company - Lili of the Valley (and by the way I can't wait for the new releases next month - don't think I'll be able to wait for Santa to buy them for me lol). It has been coloured with Promarkers before being attached to the candle.

Clean & Simple

Morning All.

It's Wednesday again, which means that it's time for a new challenge at Fab 'n' Funky.

Ooh boy, how good were all your Halloween cards, I had a great time flicking through them.

Let's see how you find this weeks challenge - Clean and Simple.

I found this one quite tough, and I confess I am not over happy with my design this time round, but let's hope you can put me to shame, and show how it should be done.

The stamp is from an Inkadinkadoo set, which I have stamped with rubarb stalk Momento ink, then highlighted areas with a Sakura Glaze pen.

I'd like to enter it in the following challenges;

Meljen Designs - anything goes

and

Keep It Simple - take a bow

See you soon,
