Distressing


It's challenge time at Diva's by Design and the fab new theme is distressing. The Sponsor for this challenge is Lili of the Valley.


I have chosen to use a Lilli stamp that was bought at Ally Pally in April called Little mermaid friends. I have coloured using copics and prisma pencils. The papers are Pink Paisley London Market. 
I have used a new set of spellbinders called  adorning squares for the matting.

I am back

Good  evening everyone.
 It has been quite some time since my last post and I feel that I am now ready to tell you why. Almost 3 weeks ago my mother sadly passed away after being ill for quite some time. Although very ill and having recently being diagnosed with cancer her death was not expected to happen quite so quickly. It came as they say like a bolt out of the blue leaving the whole family in a state of shock and turmoil.

     She was a big part of our lives and will leave a massive hole that will be impossible to fill. Over the years my mother played carer to nearly all of her 7 grandchildren while I and my siblings went to work and without her none of us would have been able to provide for our children as we have so for this and many other things I am eternally grateful to her.

It's challenge time again at Diva's by Design. The Theme is to Tie a Ribbon sponsored by 2 CuteInk.



For my design team card have kept it quite simple and used stingray kids by 2 Cuteink. I stamped the image onto some white card and coloured using Copics. I found the sentiment in my bits and bobs box so am not sure who it is by. I then wrapped the card in acetate and and glittered the bubbles and the sand on the acetate with stickles. I felt I had a bit of a blank spot so I went back to my stamp draw and found the little diver. The blue ribbon is by American crafts which I found at TK Maxx .

Joy

Good morning everyone I hope your weekend is going well. I have to say I am feeling a little worse for wear this morning but not for the reason you are all probably thinking. I spent 8 hours at Thorpe park yesterday with my son, his friend and my nephew. I had forgotten how much ground could be covered on one of those visits! Still they all had a great time which is the main thing.

I have a quick post for you this morning which was commissioned for an 80th birthday of a lady Reverend Cannon. I really didnt know where to start so asked for some more details. The brief I had was to think Vicar of Dibley!  As soon as I was told that I knew which image I wanted and went straight to the Mo store for Joy. I had also been thinking about entering the Mo Manning DT call for the last week so I am going to Enter Using this card.

As soon as I saw the image I knew I had the perfect paper stack which was DCWV black current. I think they work perfectly  The image has been coloured using Copic's.  
 I have used quite a few different cuts on this card. The main background scalloped edge has been cut using my Cricut and the fancy edge cartridge. The 80 was also cut using the Cricut. The flag banner is my new favourite banner by La La Land and the scalloped banner across the middle is a Die-namics die. The red ribbon and shoes were just a add a dash of fun and I think it works quite well

It's time for another challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend. This fortnights challenge is Button It Up which is being sponsored by Bugaboo.





For my card I have used K & Company papers called Hop Scotch. The Image is of course a Bugaboo digi called Deacon Bugs. I have coloured him using Copic Markers and then matted onto some Bazzil card. I am not sure where I got the blue mesh from, I found it in with my blue ribbons and liked the texture so I used it.

Ok thats all from me. Dont forget to pop over to the Challenge blog and partake in the wonderful inspiration from my teamies.

Thanks for stopping by
