Easter wishes!

Hi guys,

We are having gorgeous weather, beautifully warm, well hot actually and I hear so are you lol,

It's Thursday and time for colour create and paper play challenges,

I've used the same card for both as life has been a bit hectic lately lol,

Paperplay's challenge
Is for Easter so anything to do with Easter is fine,

Colour create's challenge
Is mine! and it's for the colours pink, blue and brown

with the optional extra of acetate or cracked glass effects,

Here is the image

I must have been mad to choose this as I've never done cracked glass effects before and with my son's upheaval I had run out of acetate and didn't get chance to buy some more lol,

so here's my attempt!

I've used this gorgeous Magnolia stamp with her little lamb, it's been coloured with copics, but do beware that when you add embossing powder it does change the colours slightly as her hair was more dark on the left to go with the right lol,

as I said it was my first attempt at the cracked glass look but I only had fine embossing powder so needed to use 4 layers instead of one thick one, oh well I'll know for next time,

I'm late!!

So sorry girls, this should have been put on scheduled post but I completely forgot to do it! 

well at least I'm honest lol,

First I want to wish my lovely friend Mandy a 

VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It is of course our second addicted to stamps challenge today, and this time we have a gorgeous sketch for you by our lovely Nadell

as always you can interpret this as you like,

I've used this image I've had a while and not used much, don't know why because she's lovely!

need to check up who's she is unless any body knows that is lol,

She's been coloured with Copics, my Distress inks will  really be  thinking they are neglected, although I have edged the circle in a light covering of Antique Linen,

I machine sewed my edges but for a change just made holes with my machine on  my image mat, the papers are from a magazine and were a freebie,

Hopefully you can see the glitter too,

challenges:

Daring cardmakers ~ Spring

Totally Papercrafts ~ Spring

Before I go I want to show you the gorgeous Deer we had across the road this morning ,

Aren't they gorgeous, we think it's a mum and her calf, we stood for about 15 minutes just watching them and taking pictures of course, which is fab because normally they run for cover lol,

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday,

will see you later as Jim has got the decorating bug!!

love and hugs Liz xx

Yeah it's Basic Grey Challenge time !!

Hi Guys,

thanks for all your lovely comments yesterday it's much appreciated, I've felt a bit at sixes and sevens to be honest!

Anyway our Basic Grey challenge is set by our lovely Heather and it's 

EASTER

you can use bunnies, eggs, chicks, daffodils, colours, religious etc,

I'm sure this won't be hard as there is quite a few Easter challenges out there at the moment lol,

I've used another Teddy Bo image, just love these cute bears and it's coloured with Copics,

I've tweaked a basket project which I found on the WOJ blog and made it larger,

 my papers are  from the  Basic Grey Hopscotch 6x6 pad

I made my bunny into a stand up tag by adding a little strip on the back so it could stand alone, the sentiment is from Lynne's sentiments 4 you  web shop here,

of course the yummy eggs I used for decoration had to be tested, well they would have gone off wouldn't they lol !!!

Hi Guys

Hi Guys, have you missed me?

what do you mean no!!!!

lol

I had to change my craft room AGAIN as Simon unfortunately had to come back home to live, not his choice!

so it's been moving all my craft stuff downstairs and all his stuff upstairs!

I tell you my stuff is dizzy and so am I lol,

I will be back tomorrow with my DT project for Basic Grey,

hope you  are all ok 

love and hugs Liz xx

Tilda's from around the world

Hi guy's

I wrote this last night after a day of gorgeous sunshine! it was really hot and hardly a cloud in the sky, so in case we have some more tomorrow I've got in front,

of course it's time for the Totally Tilda challenge and this time we want to see our Tild'as from different parts of the world, as you will see from the lovely DT cards their are some gorgeous Tilda's out there from all over, so get yours out and join us,

I've used one of the  Japanese Tilda's which I've coloured in soft peach and cream to go with my papers, yes I've used those papers again!!!

again it's coloured with Copics, I'm going to have forgotten how to use my Distress Inks soon lol,

I've used my fan embellishments and some gorgeous paper flowers which I just added a pearl in the centre as I thought it made them look like oriental blossom, the coin is from stash I've had for years,the butterfly is of course a Martha Stewart punch,

I layered two strips of ribbon top and bottom of my middle paper strip but you have to hunt to see it lol,

I had a go at black hair, but boy is it hard to do,and you have to be careful when photographing  as it can look blue lol,

Challenges

Anything goes ~ Pearls

Crafty Calendar ~ May flowers

well I hope your all having a gorgeous weekend too, with lovely weather and having fun!
I will see you soon, Love and hugs liz xx
