Happy Bank Holiday - I'm sat here with a wooly jumper, socks and the central heating on brrrrrr!! Has the summer (what summer I hear you ask) finally flown the coop or are we going to have a lovely warm Indian Summer, haha?
Its too miserable to do anything today so we have stayed in which means I get to play in my craft room - hooray! As it is so cold out I have made a Christmas card 'cause it feels like Christmas.
I distressed the edges of the Nitwits paper and the image is a Sarah Kay which I have just looked for and can't find anywhere! I really must sort my stamps out, however I have found some I didn't know I had shoved in a drawer lol. I cut the heart out with I think it was a Nellie Snellen die and distressed it with Distress Ink Faded Jeans and added the script with Weathered Wood, the script is from an old Hero Arts background stamp which I love and have used so much over the years. The poinsetta is a Marianne die which I just got last week and I added a Kars brad to the centre. I coloured the image with copics but I don't really like the colour of the dress, I would have preferred it to be paler. I will enter the following challenges:-
Catered Crop - Recipe (I have used text/script, distress inks, copics, ribbon, brads and stickles)
The Crafty Pad - Distressing and tearing
Fashionable Stamping Challenge - Ribbon or lace
Thanks for looking, take care xx
