Friendship

Evening Peeps. Isn't this a lovely sentiment by Paper Inspirations. Where would we be without our friends...

After stamping it in black Memento I then masked it (not easy) and overstamped with Penny Black Poppy. I coloured the flower in Distress Ink 'Fired Brick' with my water brush.

Not much else to say really other than I hope you like it and here are the challenge links, x

Three Little Stars

Evening All. Well I made it to the stables this morning, and no it didn't rain, but boy was it cold...Brrr... Anyhow, I just had a 30 minute lesson as I'd not been for a while but I was surprised how quick it all came back to me and the lesson went all too quick. The funniest thing happened though. Just before the end of the lesson the horses and ponies in the field got all excited at a passing horse on the lower road and started galloping across towards the track. I really thought they were going to jump the fence. My horse, Mac, pricked his ears up but my lovely instructor took hold of the reins, just in case. I can tell you I was very relieved. It was lovely to watch them being so giddy and playing and galloping but I'd rather they did it when my feet were on the ground.

So, now onto my card. Another one of them that started off as one idea and ended up as something else.

This is my new Penny Black sentiment stamp, which I think is lovely. I've used the current Friday Sketchers sketch and rotated it to fit my sentiment. All the DP is from my stash. The white piece I've embossed with the cuttlebug 'swiss dots'.

The only other thing is to tell you the fruits I based my colours on (see below) and that is banana, kiwi, and strawberry.

Hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x

Friendship

Morning Peeps. Sorry I didn't get to blog yesterday but it was a busy day...work, supermarket big shop:(((, then brill nite on tv. I don't watch much tv these days as I prefer to be crafting but there are a few things that have grabbed my interest lately, and last night was no exception. Anyone else been watching 'Marchlands'??? Edge of seat or what, lol.

Anyhow, onto today's card which I'm calling Friendship. I wanted to use the current The Corrosive Challenge  sketch but have also been wanting to enter into a Sentimental Sundays Challenge since I discovered it a few weeks ago. I felt the sketch lent itself well to both challenges. Fortunately I've also been able to combine it with the current Penny Black challenge which is 'Pretty in Pink', the Paper Sundaes challenge #56 which is use 2 of either flowers, lace, distressing or pink, and also the Ooh La La Challenge #73 'For Someone Special'.

The image is by Penny Black called 'Crossing Bridges' and I've coloured him with copics:
R20, Y21, E21, 31, 40, 51, 93, G21, and the blender. I can't remember where the trail of flowers image is from.

The sentiment is by Paper Inspirations and the DP is by Papermania 'Regency'.

Prince Charming

Well maybe not Prince Charming but sometimes in life you have to kiss a lot of frogs, lol.

This is a new stamp (to me) that I bought during my weekend in Scotland, one of many...thanks to my lovely hostess who took me to a stamp shop sale, lol. Its a Penny Black image and I thought he was rather cute especially with the wee heart shaped mouth. I've coloured him with copics G21, 28, Y28 and backed him with DP from Memory Box 'Rhubarb Tart'. The paper swirl at the top right was created by using one of the dies from my new Floral Accent Shapeabilities set which I won in a blog challenge from 7 Kids College Fund.

Brads and Pearls are from my stash and the pine leaves were created with my Martha Stewart punch. Oh, the heart is from a ring I picked up in the sales. I think it was 99p and it's got about 12 different hearts dangling from it....Bargain!

I've used the current Penny Black sketch challenge and I'm also entering it into Fussy and Fancy #29, which is to create a valentine's project without using red or pink, also The Stampsmith Challenge #7 which is royalty, well he is wearing a crown, lol.
