I started with a piece of white stamping card. 

Sprinkled Lemon and Light Green Brusho onto the paper.

Sprayed water and watched the magic of Brusho powders.

Patted off the excess water. Heat dried. 

Stamped and stamped again with a mask over the first stamp,

with a stamp from Crasty Roo Stamps. 

Added small flowers to the background. Added a 

sentiment from my stash. Looking forward to

seeing your ATC's backgrounds.

I created the splat with a splat stamp by  Crafy Roo Stamps.

I used Mermaid Lagoon DI Oxide, sprayed the stamp with water

and stamped the splat. 

I then created various size and coloured stars to add to the design. 

The sentiment is by My Paper World. 

Looking forward to seeing your creations. 

Q is for Quick and Easy

Hello, I am so pleased  to be crafting again. The past,

almost three weeks, being ill with a chest infection have

been totally awful. The thing is I am again back to me, 

and back to crafting. I send get well wishes to

all who may be feeling poorly and a gentle hug.

Back to business - today we begin a new challenge at

Alphabet Challenges. 

For the letter Q - Maryvonne has chosen

Quick and Easy

Please pop over to the blog to see the amazing work by the team.

Again, I have a square card, with an orange plain backing card.

Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint Oxide Inks on a 

stamping block, sprayed with water, used as a stamp to 

provide the background. Edged with a 01 Micron pen.

Stamped with Funky Flowers by Crafty Roo Designs with 

black Versafine.

Re-stamped and pieces decoupaged then painted with 

the same colours. The sentiment by the same company

stamped with the same two colours again.

White card edged with 01 Micron pen. 

Have fun. enjoy the challenge. 

Make It Krafty

Hello, I hope you are well. The weather at this

 time of the year is not normal,  it's as if spring has 

arrived a few months too early. Nevertheless we

still need to be crafting. Today we have a new challenge

for you starting at Make My Monday.

Being my turn to choose, I chose to use one of my 

favourite mediums in card making.......

Make It Krafty

We need to see you have used Kraft card.

The DT have again provided some fabulous inspiration, 

please pop over to the blog, to see them.

I made a 6" sq scallop edge Kraft card.

I made a panel for the stamp - heat embossed and

then coloured with Promarkers.

Both the flower and sentiment are by Crafty Roo.

I blended Forest Green DT around the edges of the card.

The added pearls in each corner to embellish. 

White dots added randomley with a white gel pen.

Have fun in your crafating.

Embossing Wet or Dry

Hello again, after a restful weekend, it is time to start getting
busy making some cards.
Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday
which was chosen by Meg - Embossing Wet or Dry.
So it's time to either get out your embossing folders or your
embossing powders. Or even a combination of both.
Why don't you pop over to see the inspiration from the DT?
I watercoloured onto my card with shades of blue and green.
Dried it and stamped with Versafine Black ink  -Funky Flowers
 and a Happy verse by Cafty Roo stamps,  sprinkled with
fine clear embossing powder, heat set.
I painted the flower with Sparkle glitter pens.
I matted onto black card with a trip of hessian, 3 brads,
with cord wrapped around the brads. Have fun.

In TheGarden

Hello, today at Make My Monday we are starting a

new two weekly challenge. It was my time to choose,

I was looking forward to start some serious gardening, so

I have chosen, In The Garden. Don't think the rain is ever

going to stop for some serious garden time. 

So maybe making a card will provide some garden time.

The DT have had fun, please check their cards out.

I wnt to a Craft event yesterday and bought an Issue 03

Hunkydory Cardmaking Collection for half price.

I know it's an old one but hey it's still usable.

I was inspired by one of the cards in the magazine, so

used their stamps. The background was created with DI Fire Brick,

I used a Crafty Roo Splatt stamp with water for a faux

bleach splatt effect. The sentiment is also from Crafty Roo.

I hope you like my different take for this challenge.
