Candy Time

I thought it was about time that I did something that I have intended doing for quite some time....and that is to give some things away!

Here we have some stamps and a die and a variety of embellishments you may find handy!

I'll leave this post at the top until I get back from Oz when I will make the draw!

To be in with a shout, please just leave a comment below.

Thanks so much!

Colour challenge

We have a colour challenge at "Less is More" this week and it's 

Yellow and Green.

Here I was attempting to colour a stamp to make it look like a glass vase. I used Distress Inks and a little Copic marker. There is a touch of yellow in the centre of the daisies. The daisy stamp was stamped, masked and stamped again and made to look as though they are actually inside the vase!

Another daisy digi here, it says DSB on the file but I can't think what that stands for. Any ideas? Once more coloured with Copics and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust!.

A crocus digi from Fred She Said, coloured with Copics. and a computer generated sentiment.

This actually looks orange, but it is in fact yellow!

Metal!

The challenge at "Less is More" this week is to use metal.

I love the effect of this cuttable, emboss-able metal on kraft card!

I stamped it with a script stamp and then ran it through an embossing folder, sanding the raised part lightly afterwards. Popped onto a pierced mount and matched with a piece of ribbon, I think it needs no sentiment!

Here is a card I made for a commission. What an amazing achievement to celebrate 60 years of marriage! I thought 40 years was pretty good going!

The dogwood blossom is from a Sizzix set of dies. I enjoyed colouring and shaping the flowers.

The metal on this one is the little heart charm. The sentiment was computer generated.

I have only two cards this week as I am off on holiday to Australia on Monday and I have been trying to get cards made for all the "Less is More" challenges until we return. Quite a marathon!

I hope you'll forgive my lack of visits whilst I'm away.

Jump

When I saw the the cue card was JUMP this week at CASology, my mind immediately 'jumped' to this image from Penny Black.

This young lady is one of a row of exercising chickens... but she was doing the required action... so she was the one I opted for. I masked out the rest of the girls and so here she is jumping her heart out!

I really love Penny Black chickens, they are such characters.

As I am off to OZ very soon I probably should have chosen a kangaroo... but maybe that will come later!
