Friday again


Hi all, hope your all well and safe.
I have no CraftyCatz card this week as we are off on a break until Sept. so I thought I would add a card or two from the file.
I love this image, every year I feel I have to make something with her she is so cute.
Coloured with both Flex and Copic markers, the background is a new stencil I bought recently from CraftStash, and  is chalked then set with CraftersCompanion spray and shine and the mdf smile I bought from CraftStash also, the little wood fence I have had in stash a while, I just cut in half, and a little touch of flower soft at her feet.
May enter a challenge here.
Hope you like.
 
Here is the stencil I used.
Think thats all for today, its now 9:10 and I am off to hang out my freshly washed cushion covers, yes thats how exciting my life is, haha. Have a lovely day friends.

A quick post


This is just a quick post because I have been playing about with water colours and cling film, now I'm not saying its brilliant, but I really enjoyed the process and will be doing some more soon, I saw it done first on HERE this is one clever lady and wow, she makes the most brilliant creations and also HERE.
I prefer the pale one but anyways, all you have to do is grab some water colour paper, wet it really well and just add the odd splash of paint here and there, then put the cling film on and sort of gently move it so it will leave its mark, let dry and see what you have , I added the sentiments, one on torn vellum and the other on a offcut from the panel. Don't know about you but for a first try I like.!!
This was after the film came off
Hope you think its worth a try, you will when you see other peoples, I mean wow...Thanks for indulging my quirks, haha.xx

CraftyCatz challenge #516 ATG


Morning and welcome to the last challenge as we break for 'summer', sorry I am really laughing at that little gem, you would have to be here in the UK to appreciate it..
So, our lovely Billie has chosen the optional theme of Funny, our sponsor who so kindly provided the images we used is Bugaboo, and you can get to the shop HERE
For my tag I used Ava Latte
It took me all my time to come up with a funny sentiment, well this was the best I could do, sorry it does fall abit short but whats a person to do.....it just says, enjoy the little things....ha
Coloured with Copic and flex markers, old DP from stash.
Hope you can come and join us and see what the girls made, much funnier than mine I promise you.

I also made this from a background I made with the gelli plate, YES, the best thing since sliced bread, haha.
I used so many stamps and chalks, then used metallic blue, gold and silver acrylics and I was really pleased, it has a beautiful sheen, so I had to send for more paint.
This was when it came off the plate. The stamps were a freebie A4 size sheet from CraftStash, I love when they offer great gifts with every order, I just snagged a seaside one and its brilliant.
So hope you like.
Have a lovely weekend.

CraftyCatz challenge #515 ATG


Happy Friday again, so soon, whats happening to the weeks, crazy times..
I hope you are all well and staying sane. I am just about hanging in there..!!!! I think.
OK, this week our optional theme is chosen by Zora and she likes Fairies, yay me too...
Our sponsor is Colour of Love and you can find so many lovely images HERE
For my card I used Moonflower provided by our sponsor
Coloured with promarkers and then inked background, the DP is BtoB and the die cuts were left overs from another project which I recently found in a box.
Once again thats it for today. Only one more week to go and our challenge is taking a break for 'summer', yes that thing that should be happening right now and isn't.!!!!!

Well my new drawers are all assembled and filled to the brim, I am so happy with them and feel more organised, how long it will last is another question but its a nice change.
Take care lovely friends, see you all soon.xxx

Back again.


Oh its so cold here today, flippin heck need to put heating on, I hope wherever you are you fairing better than this for mid July..!!!!

 Ok so I said I had a few other things in the pipeline, this is another of those wood hearts I bought from The Works, no more for a while so breathe a sigh of relief, haha.
So covered it with this sweet paper napkin that I finally found a whole bundle I knew I had some but they were buried deep, covered it with modge podge and let dry, then just added the flowers which were bought at the sell out of WO before they changed hands, 'Happy' was from CraftStash, little medal/token is a TH and filled the little glass bottle with glass and beads, the blue flowers are dried from a spray i had, I always keep these they are so pretty. Last thing sprayed with CC spray and shine and added some fine glitter. DONE...phew...
Thats that done.

Now a question, who of you have a Gelli plate....well I have only just bought one and talk about a kid with a new toy, wow, the things you can do, I haven't been this excited since I first began card making, my mind is in over time with the things I can maybe do with this thing, here is a pic of one of the backgrounds, now be kind because I am new to this but I LOVE it
 Just peeling off the plate
The designs you can do, I love it..but right now I can't play because I have everything out of my room to accomadate new drawers, which are being assembled as i type by my youngest son, he is six feet 3 and very clever but this is driving him nuts and believe me when I tell you he is as mild mannered as they come...oh dear i think I will hide somewhere....haha...
Enjoy your day friends.xxx

Weekend play


Hi all, hope you had a lovely weekend.
I had a play with some old-ish papers I have stashed, I am sorting out ready for a new set of storage drawers so its been a learning curve of how much I really have opposed to what I use. Now looking out for good homes for lots of stamps too, thought maybe a club could make use. will see.
Right, I did no colouring on this one....I Know!!!! how odd...haha
The papers are all Mintay, which I love and keep in a big 12x12 box, WHY...I don't know its a fettish I think, Did quite abit of cutting and fiddling about and this is the result.
All very 'not me' really but I think its quite ok.
Inside.
Thats it, hope to enter the following.
I also made yet another heart hanger and did a quick tute on how to assemble a book for a friend, nothing special but hope it will help, will add those in the week. 
Have a lovely Monday friends.

Good morning, I must say a big 'SORRY' for not being a good blogger this week, I will try catching up with you all asap, I am suffering real bad headaches and keeping away as much as possible from all devices, its driving me mad.
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. 

OK, lets get on, this week is AuntySue's turn to host and she has chosen the optional theme of Christmas, yay....not really but there you go, haha...
We have two really wonderful sponsors this week, first up is Star Jam Lines who gave the team these fab images to use and you can find them all here
Next up is Dis Digi Stamps and you can find them HERE

Here is my card using Gnomes sing
Coloured with Copic and Flex markers, lots of glittery stuff, DP was from a Works pad from last year.
Inside I printed one of the gnomes and coloured him same way, so cute these little guys.
 Thats it, hope you can come along, see the girls gorgeous creations and join the fun.
This weekend is 'supposedly' bringing some sunshine with it, I hope so because I am so sick of the rain, its just depressing isn't it. 
Have a lovely day friends and I will see you soon.
