Feeling a little distressed ….. x

 

Good afternoon everyone, I hope it is dry with you all today. There is so much flooding around and York, as usual has been affected with the Ouse spilling out and causing disruption. I hope your properties are dry and that noone has been flooded.

It is back to reality after my fun away at Craftaganza last week. I am also back to work tonight for 4 night shifts :o(

I am sharing my DT card with you today for Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. It is a good old favourite of ‘ANYTHING GOES; so I expect we will be swamped with entries. The DT are all using the fabulous products by Martha Stewart.

I have dug out my very first Magnolia stamp that I ever bought. I really love this one. I am pretty happy with how my card turned out this week. I think if you are happy it shows in your cards – I am certainly in a good mood at the moment :o)

I have coloured my image with a combination of Copics and Spectrum Noir pens. I have finally manage to create a hint of creases in Tilda’s dress and I am going to keep practicing until I get better at this colouring technique. I thought I would colour the background to try and help the image pop, who wants all that white space anyway lol.

  

Check me being all brave and distressing the edges and my flowers – think I need to go lay down after that hahahaha. Lots of Martha Stewart punches here and also some delish ribbon by Martha Stewart too. All links are below.

Heidi will be giving a $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

Thanks for joining us this week xxxxxxxx

OMG … You are soooo embarrassing!!!!!!

Good morning folks, yay for the weekend!!! I am off for a couple of days which is brilliant. Hubby is off too so that is even better. We are going to go out tonight to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary which was yesterday – how time flies.

Anyhoo, onto my card for today. Sometimes you just need a little humour in your life don’t you think. This image from Just Inklined really made me smile. You can see other fab inspiration over on the Just Inklined Blog. This hilarious image is called Daisy and Watson and you can purchase it from Just Inklined.

I coloured my image first AGAIN before picking my papers …… I will pop the links below if you are interested.

The face of the girl and the dog just crack me up. The dog reminds me of that clip with Harry Secombe when he was doing Songs of Praise and the dog went skidding down the hill on it’s bum behind him hahahaha. The sentiment Plan A is from the fabulous Create with TLC.

What I used…

Flowers from WOC 

Ribbon and pearls from stash.

Simon Says … Father’s Day Card / Male Card

Good morning – woohoo, summer has arrived …… and I am at work for 13 hours, sigh! Never mind, I have taken my skirt and t-shirt to wear on the way home hopefully and should hopefully enjoy a little sunshine with the roof down on the drive home. It looks like it is going to be a glorious week so I might enjoy a little sunshine on Friday and Saturday whilst I am off. Can’t complain though cos I had a lovely day off yesterday.

So back to the job in hand. It is Wednesday so we all knows that means a brand new theme on Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. This week it is one of those themes that we just don’t do often enough ……. we would love to see you make a male card or a Father’s Day card.

I have to admit to struggling with male cards. I do love my ribbons and flowers but for obvious reasons I have given them up for this week. However I am now thinking I could have added a nice ribbon and charm to my card – maybe next time. I still managed a bit of bling though hehe.

I am really fond of sweet Humphrey – this stamp is from the latest release and the link can be found below. I have put my copics to one side and coloured this cutie with my Spectrum Noir pens which Simon Says Stamp Online Store stock – go check them out, they are so reasonably priced!

I have a bit of news for you …. did you know that Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog are having a DT Call? I bet that got your attention – make sure you pop over to the blog for more details …… I can honestly say it is an amazing team to be a part of.

So as usual one very lucky winner chosen at random will win a $50 voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp Online Store – good luck!

….and that’s your lot. Good luck with the challenge and also the DT Call xxx
