Black and White Birthday

 Morning and we have a new ATG/Black and White challenge at A Place to Start. I found a ready  stamped image  from AALL&Create and two last scraps of black and white paper been in the box for years and think I received them in a card swap, a Tonic die-cut sentiment and done.

Been absent this week so hope to catch up with you all soon, and thank you to those who messaged asking if I was okay-really appreciate it and for the beautiful wool and card Janette.

Nature/Text Tag

 Morning , I have made a tag out of things in my drawer, the only thing I had to do was cut the tag with dies from The Works I believe, scrap of paper from Crafters Companion, just enough to cut the tag-perfect! The paper had the perfect banner shape at the top to stamp a sentiment from an AALL&Create set, the sentiment from Pickled Pear was stamped onto a Crafters Companion Die and the ribbon I have had for years from Crafty Ribbons. Perfect for a plant or flowers  gift.

Take Me to the Ocean

Morning I have made an ATC using a stamp set I bought from a decluttering site when I was on FB so no idea whose they are so if anyone recognises them please let me know-I love this set. I used the lighthouse stamp and the sentiment stamp. I stamped straight onto a piece of p. paper from CraftOclock and DI round the edges.

Happy Birthday-Cheers

 Morning and I have three posts today-the second one is for a GDT spot at Creative Crafters which is ATG. I made this card for my eldest Granddaughters 19th birthday.  I have had the stamp/die-cut set  for years and they were a craft mag freebie. The stamps are coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents, sentiment from Penny Black, the circle die was loose in my box so no idea on that one and the layered dies are from Marianne and the b, paper is Crafters Companion. The stamps and dies are very neglected! Thank you for inviting me ladies.

CAS GDT Spot

Morning  I am back with three posts today-the first one is for a GDT spot at 

Dream Factory and the challenges are always based on films-This month it's Cleaner so the challenge is CAS.

I used a very very neglected stamp set from Artistic Stamper and I glued an actual stamp over where the stamp image is. The script borders are a craft mag freebie from years ago, there is a split it it but stuck down carefully onto  a stamping block stamps  perfectly-it looked unfinished so I drew round the edges with a ruler and fine liner pen.

Thank you for inviting me ladies.

Poppies

 Morning and I have a card using a new stamp set and a sketch I liked at Atlantic Heart. The stamp set is from Arrietty with two images and ended up making four cards with them! I coloured the image with some new watercolour pens Helen bought and didn't like, so this was my first time using them and think I need new glasses as struggling with colouring! I lightly inked a stencil from My Favourite Things in the background, dies from The Works and p, paper from Crafters Companion. Sentiment from Penny Black and ribbon from stash. I coloured the poppies the same colour I have some in the garden.
