Good morning friendly crafters - have you got that weekend feeling?
Can you tell I was in crazy-mode when I made this one!
I'm not sure whether I've pulled it off and it's a little less CAS than I
would have liked but I decided to use some bits of stash that keep getting
forgotten so here's what I've used:
Stamps: Paper Smooches - Chubby Chums & Sunny side Up
Avery Elle - Sentimental 'Your Day'
Doodlebug - Design Paper
'Enjoy' die cut - sent to me by the lovely Barb of Barbs Studio Creations
She's so generous and sent me a whole bundle of dies by Papertrey.
Images and die-cut coloured with Zig Clear Brush Pens
Here's the sketch we'd like you to follow:
Over at Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge it's an Anything Goes week
so I'm heading across there with this card too
Next up a more clean and simple version
This one uses the stunning Altenew - Vintage Flowers set which I've
stamped using the yellow and green ink sets by Altenew and to divide
my panel in line with the sketch I've added a strip of gold glitter tape.
The sentiment if from a brand new set sent to me by my perfect, fun
and generous fellow Less is More teamie Anita! Can you believe she won
a whole bundle of Altenew sets and already had this Painted Greetings set
so she sent the duplicate to me! I'm welling up here - thanks so much Neets!
I'd like to link this up at Timeout Challenges where it's an 'inspired by words'
'May all your weeds be wild flowers'
Now I can hardly say these blooms look like weeds or wild flowers but
can you imagine if all weeds in my garden looked like this? That would save
a lot of weeding and digging time - that's for sure!
Ok that's all from me but I hope you feel inspired to play along and
I'll catch up with you all again soon.
Two great cards Sharon. I love those Altenew flowers but the chubby duck is a real cutie and I love his shiny umbrella x
