Good crafty weather though! But if anyone finds my missing new Christmas stamp please let me know where it is! I've been in every cupboard and hidey place and it's nowhere to be found. Maybe I should stop looking for it and hope it shows itself ;)
This first card is for this week's Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast - here's the card I chose. I'm not so happy about the colouring of my little piggy, reckon he might need a wee touch up!
- Penny Black and More - August - all creatures great and small
- Craftaholics R Us #30 - die cuts
- Crafting by Design August - anything goes
One of the plus points of looking through my stash is finding some good old oldies! I'm not entirely sure what make these are, maybe Creative Inspirations? Coloured with watercolour pencils, sparkle and glitter added to the blue balloon and popped up on dimensionals. Sparkle added to the red balloon and clear gloss to the little one.
Took me a while to get my layout on this one, it looked all wrong until I added the little white cloud in the top right.
- Layout from Stick it Down - August
- Allsorts #427 - colours of your flag
- Penny's challenge #340 - anything goes
And finally, this one was totally inspired by my bloggy buddy Jo's card here.
It's a rubbish photo, doesn't look so drab in real life!
I hadn't intended to add those white enamel dots but just as I was putting the last strokes to my card I managed to drop my paintbrush! Arrgghh!
Three great cards, Lynne! I love the balloon card, and thanks for the shout out on the kitty card- yours is much sweeter than my version! Jo x

A really love set of cards, cute little pig, and love the cat and the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThe balloons are brilliant and a great design, three lovely CAS cards.
I lost a stamp and like you searched everywhere finally found it under my glass cutting mat, no idea how it got there.
Thank you for joining our 'Colour of your Flag' challenge this week at Allsorts.

What a fun day! Hope you find your missing craft supplies. They may be hiding out with mine . . .
ReplyDeleteI love your literal take on our sketch this month. Your balloons are beautiful and the cloud placement is just perfect, with some behind the balloons.

You captured this sketch perfectly! Love the scene you created. Thanks for playing along with us at Stick It Down!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the sketch in your hot air balloon card, Lynne! Great colors and attention to details! What a fun scene! Glad you stuck with it adding your clouds - they help the eye move around the page and "ground" the hot air balloons!! Thanks for playing along with us at Stick It Down this month! Hugs, Cathy
