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.

Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

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.

Mushrooms? and a Mystery

 Well I am back after a few days in bed after collapsing with low blood pressure and dehydration and I got into trouble as son and daughter were in bed asleep and I went downstairs for something and collapsed in a heap "at the bottom thankfully" couldn't get up or shout and laid there for half an hour before I managed to get back to bed.

Anyway I have a mystery for you before I post my card-this is the AALL&Create stamp - I used-take note of the number 5 next to the mushrooms.

and this is the image I stamped out-check out where the number 5 is and please tell me I have not lost the plot and you can see what I can-can you see a face?

now as I had already coloured it I stamped the bottom half again and just cut out the numbers. Image was coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents, b, papers from Paper Favourites.
