Schooldays

Good Morning. Did you all remember your clocks???

Just to prove I can do distressed sometimes here is a quickie I've made using PaperArtsy stamps inked with Adirondack Mushroom. I've distressed the edge of the foremost image and torn the Magnolia 'old book' paper and then swiped with the ink again.

Sorry, can't remember where the eyelet is from. Could be Art From The Heart.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:-

Cupcake Craft Challenge #134 - Monochromatic

FOOTNOTE: Not sure what's wrong but 3 hours later and I still can't get my image to appear. If you hover at the top of the posting you will be able to click on a link which will take you to my image. I've reported it to blogger

'Owl' be there for you...

Afternoon peeps and another beautiful day here in West Yorkshire. Hope this lasts for a while yet.

Here's a quicky following the Less Is More Challenge, 'masculine'. I brayered a rainbow effect across the bottom corner using Encore 'ultimate metallic' and then overstamped with the Crafty Individuals Owl.

I decided to pop the letter 'O' inbetween the 2 buttons.

I'm also entering this into the Daring Cardmakers Challenge which is 'going postal'.

Hope you like it and here are the links, x

Have a Heart

Ah! I think Tilda is desperate to give her heart to someone. Maybe by December she'll be in luck. Initially I made this card for the current Winter Wonderland challenge (another one to add to my Christmas box) which is 'To The One I Love', but I've incorporated the Friday Sketchers Challenge for this week.

I've coloured Tilda with copics as follows :-

skin - E21, 93 and Promarker Satin
hair - E50, 51, 53, 31
clothes - G21, 28, R32, 35, 37
shadows - W1, 3, 5

The DP are by Papermania 'Henbury Lane'. They are so yummy and I'm going to have to buy some more soon, lol.

The sentiment is by Simple Expressions.

I'm also entering this card in the current Daring Cardmakers challenge which is being sponsored by the ribbon reel Their challenge is to use 2 ribbons/trims, at least one button and at least 1 heart.

Also the current Cupcake Craft Challenge #129 and Oldie But A Goodie challenge #12 both want hearts added.

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