Sitting Around

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitor's

I would like to start by welcoming my new follower Jac and to say thank you

to everyone else for your continued support for my little piece of blog land.

Quick post today as the day is running away with me and I have more

designs to get on with, so here goes with today's offering.

DETAILS

            1. Started with 5 x7 white card and matted it with blue card stock

2. Added a piece of patterned paper from my stash which

  matched perfectly with the blue card.

3. The image is one of the Tatty Twinkle design's ( sorry

I have forgotten the name) and I have coloured him

 with pro-markers before cutting him out using the 

SB die Nestabilites Pearl Effect ( I really like this die)

 4. I then  distressed the edges using Tim Holts Stormy Sky

and matted it onto blue card and adhered using foam pads.

To complete I added three silver brads down the sides.

That's all from me today my friends, hope to see you

again tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Have we all recovered yet from Christmas? only the new Year to welcome in, then its

all over and back to normal.  We had a quiet Christmas, brought mum over to stay

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and took her home Boxing Day night.

Mum kept saying she wished we had snow to make it more like Christmas and

she got her wish, as it started snowing when we took her home. She was

overjoyed to see it. I am just glad it's gone as it's not safe for driving around in,

we just have the ice to contend with at present but hopefully it will clear soon.

Anyway I thought it about time I got my act together  and did a blog, so here it

is, nothing too creative I'm afraid as sorting out my DT work ready for next week.

DETAILS

1. Card is 8 x 8 and has been covered with backing paper from

Jem's Design CD Beautiful Birdcages which I had opened

up in MCS so that I could add the image directly onto

the page.

2. Still in MCS I took another backing paper and created the

frame, then added the image from Tatty Twinkle and

placed her in the centre to complete.  I then printed 

it off and adhered to my card.

3. To enhance the card and give some depth, I added buttons,

a spotted bow and a glittered dragonfly all from stash.

Way hey there it is, quick simple but quite an effect card ( don't you think?)

Well that's all from today off the dry my hair as going visiting today.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting
