Little gardener

Hello lovely people,

I am enjoying my week off immensely even though I haven't actually done any crafting!

So, my card today is not a brand new one, but one I made a few weeks ago for a work colleague to give to her husband for a special birthday.

Fortunately the image is so large and detailed that I didn't have to worry about filling the gaps on the card other than adding the name and age, but I think the fence detail works really well.

I was making this card in a bit of a rush so I didn't write down my Copic colours but I can tell you I had a lot of fun with the colouring as it's such a sweet image.

I've used the digi image for my card but you can also find it in rubber if you prefer.

I hope you are all having a good week whatever you are doing.

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Take it slow

Hello lovely people,

Ooooh, has that been a whole week since I last posted?!

I had a little jaunt to Norfolk from Friday - Monday with the Caterham 7 car club and we had so much fun whizzing around in our cars, eating lots of yummy food and generally having a giggle...especially when we got lost!
It was gorgeously sunny the whole time so that was an extra special treat when you are in an open top car!

Then I have been at Bath University for the past 2 days for the first 2 study days of my prescribing course and boy, I now realise what I have let myself in for!
It was great to meet all the other students though and we got to have a play at taking blood pressures on the simulation arm which was fun :-)

Moving on from my little update and we have a new challenge for you at In The Pink with the theme...

1-2-3

So, we want to see 1 of something, 2 of something and...yes, you guessed it...3 of something on your project.
With more pink than any other colour of course!

Our wonderful sponsor this time is The Ribbon Girl with a £10 voucher

The recipe for my design is;
1 image
2 flower clusters and 2 bows
3 DPs

And I think it turned out pretty tasty!

It was love at first sight for me and this stamp, so it was only a matter of time before I bought it, and already I can't wait to colour her again!

There is something so joyful about this image :-)

After I added the top photo I realised the flower charm was a little wonky because the card was lying flat for the photo but it does dangle freely IRL as you can see here!

Little golfer

Hello lovely people,

Monday again...and no work for me...ha ha, the novelty still hasn't worn off yet!  Sorry for rubbing it in :-P

I also had a really lovely weekend with my brother and his girlfriend; several long walks (even catching the sunshine for them!), awesome food cooked by my little bro and lots of fun and games :-)

I hope you all had good weekends too.

On to my card for today and I'm showcasing some LOTV products as part of the Design Collective with one of those rare male designs!

This little chap is utterly adorable and as always with LOTV images, this was a delight to colour.

I knew I wanted a very CAS design to leave lots of white space around the image, and to show lots of the fab DP; isn't this plaid design perfect for the golf theme?

Threading the buttons on the twine was a challenge...those holes are really small!
