Well I seem to have survived day one of our renovations and despite missing a few inner walls all is calm. I'm trying to ignore the mess but my workmen have been fabulous at keeping it contained and protecting the carpets so positive thinking ... simply so EXCITED for the end results and maybe a piccy or two to show you.
So I grabbed a bit of crafty time in between brewing up and trying to answer plumbing and electrical questions intelligently! What better incentive than some fabby challenges this week ...
Card Recipe:
Image: Pink Petticoat -
Buzzy Little Bees which I've printed twice then coloured and fussy cut the top one so that I could make a 3D effect with the wings which are glistening with a Wink of Stella and glossy accents to the body of the bee.
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat -
cropped from an image from Little Garden Bugs and
'Birthday' from Clearly Besotted
Hexagon Dies: Clearly Besotted
Papers: Papermania, & Echo Park
Challenges:
CASology: Theme Word - Bee
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Card Concept: Colour Combo
(Whoops quick edit - I'm hoping my card will fall into the Clean and Simple Style)
Have a fun evening and thanks for calling in.
