Showering You With Flowers

Afternoon Peeps, not so warm today eh? I was working until lunchtime and didn't really notice the drop in temperature but now I'm huddled next to the radiator while I'm on my blog.

I love this hedgehog image by Tina Wenke for Stampavie. Hubby and I have a 'thing' for hedgehogs and often buy little collectables when we're on our travels. I've had the stamp for ages and just not got around to using it, so this was the perfect excuse. I created the sentiment on the computer, quite liked the font.

I've coloured Mrs. Hedgehog in copics: E000, 31, 33, 93, R20, 32, Y06, YG00, 03, BG10.

The curly gardenia, rosebuds, pearls and stamens are all from Crafty Emma's Store and the vine leaf punch is a Martha Stewart border trim.

The DP is Prima 'Sweet Fairy', also from Crafty Emma's Store. In fact, go check out the store this weekend as she has a sale on. See the link on my sidebar.

The ribbon was some recycled from a parcel and has been in my stash for an age. Just ran my little portable iron over it to rid it of creases. After all, isn't that what iron's are for - crafting, lol.

I hope you like it and I'd like to enter it into the challenges below.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope to be back with another production later, x

80 Years Young

Evening Peeps. I had hoped to be able to blog a bit later this evening and tell you about a brill pantomime we had just been to see. However, unfortunately while we were having tea with friends beforehand, our Son took a seizure and so we had to cut our night short. He's fine now and tucked up in bed with a hot chocolate and his nursing team of 1 cat and 2 dogs, lol. The other 2 cats feel that they have better things to do....

So here is the card that I am now sharing a bit earlier than planned. I've made it on a request for a friend who wanted something flowery. Great for the current Creative Cottage challenge.

The stamp is by Tin Can Mail (Inkadinkadoo) and I've coloured it with copics in: Y21, 26, R05, 08, TG63, 67, E37. Lovely warm colours to fit in with this week's Copic Creations challenge.

The DP are by Papermania 'Sunshine' pack.

I hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x
