Hello


This seems a good title for a blog post today, as I haven't said hello to my craft room in about a week whilst we were entertaining two of our grandchildren for the last full week of their school summer holidays. The time has been spent visiting a National Trust property at Petworth, Jane Austen's House at Chawton, The Mary Rose  in Portsmouth Dockyard and the obligatory visit to a local toy store! I also taught them both to knit... one more successfully than the other I hasten to add
Today however, is for relaxation!

Anyway this card came about when I saw the challenge at TIMEOUT
.
As the challenge is sponsored by Winnie & Walter, the colours of their logo made me want to emulate it, so I chose a background stamp from Kaisercraft and inked it with similar rainbow colours.... these are tiny dots rather than the huge circles of the logo.
I used one of their In a Word Cutaway dies. I have a few of these and love how bold they are. I'm not even sure if they are still available. Anyway I decided to layer this and inlay the die cuts. The sun is from a die from Lawn Fawn, layered and popped onto dimensional pads. I quite like the muted effect of the colours.
Now for a little catching up on crafting!

  1. goodness you have had a fun and busy week-bet you loved it! Just like I do this card-I love hearing your thoughts behind the making of this-what a great idea to use the logo as your first point and I do love you incorporated the little circles. This will sure make someone's day as it has for us at Time Out-fab to see you x
