First of all I would like to say a big hello to all my followers and welcome my new followers. I really do appreciate you liking my work enough to follow me and I enjoy reading all your comments.
I've not felt like crafting or blogging for a few days because of a nasty little bug that sent me to my sick bed, but I'm feeling a lot better now apart from a cough and bunged up nose. I'm very behind with leaving comments on blogs but I hope to try and catch up some time this week.
For the challenge at
JUST FOR FUN this week we have to use our favorite colour, so my card has to be green. Last week my Winter Distress inks arrived from the
Craft Room so I used the colour evergreen bough to colour a piece of card using the direct to paper technique, then I stamped the trees with iced spruce, I distressed the edges before attaching it to a white card blank. I stamped the robin onto some of the coloured card and cut it out using a Spellbinders die, I matted it onto some white card that had also been cut out with a Spellbinders die. I attached it to the card with some gold ribbon so that it dangled. I stamped the greetings and added a snowflake charm.
The stamps that I used are
Artimio for the trees.
Andy Skinner for the robin.
Lovely card Hazel! Sorry you have been feeling poorly, take good care of yourself! Valerie
ReplyDeleteOoh, lovely, Hazel. I'm really falling in love with these colours. Just hope there are some left when I get paid, lol x
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, Hazel - was just finishing off (preparing, not eating) my apple crumble and realised I hadn't wished you well! Sorry you've been off colour and hope you're feeling much better today x
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better Hazel, nothing like a bit of playing with favourite inks to make you forget how miserable you feel.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and those colours are beautiful - just wish everyone would stop using them and tempting me into parting with yet more cash ha ha.
