Get Well Bunny

Hi all!  Well that was a bit of a damp grey day, definitely frizzy hair weather!  And the first evening in a while that I've needed the light on to craft.  

I've had my new stamps from Craft Depot out again. My first effort was using my watercolor pencils but I think I need to relearn how to use them!  I ended up starting again with my polychromos and just used the watercolours to highlight the stem of the toadstool.  DP from MFT.  My sentiment looks wonky here which I hadn't noticed before now, so I'll have to check it to see if it needs fixing.  Hopefully not as I'm down to the last scraps of this green card. 

And just to share, here's the original watercoloured bunny!

 Hi all!  Well, I'm not sure what is going on with blogger???  Apparently my blog has been giving some folk a security warning and today I've had about a dozen emails from Blogger saying they've deleted some of my posts which either contravene their guidelines or have malware issues!! They're all from 2011/2012 (so far).  Anyone else getting these?  I don't know if I should be concerned or not, or if there's something I can do on my side to sort it out!   I did run a scan and it came up with no malware issues, maybe it's something in a challenge link?  And some folk who have been leaving comments on my blog for years are now slipping into my spam folder.  Urgh, too much for a Monday brain 😉

Anyway here's my other new stamp from LOTV - I see they have a new release (including actual stamps) for Christmas, so that could be slightly dangerous to my bank account LOL.  My little heart border is from Creative Depot.  Coloured with polychromos and glitter added to the icing and clear gloss to the jelly & cherries.

Little Bunny

 Hi all!  I've been shopping in an effort to kick-start my mojo... yes I know I already have loads but there's nothing like fresh ink on a new stamp to get you colouring!  This little cutie is from Creative Depot, a German store that has some lovely stamps and even lovelier dies!  My EF was a magazine freebie a while back.  Bunny coloured with my polychromos and popped up on foam pads.

As You Like It - fur, feathers or scales - well looking at my stamp stash I'm definitely in the 'fur' camp.  I do have a few bird and fish stamps but 90% of the animals are furry critters

Summer flowers

 Hi all!  Oooh that was a warm day, our thermometer in the garden showed 29 degrees in the shade, and don't think it's an awful lot cooler this evening.  Not weather we're used to here, though I'm so glad we didn't get the heat that England and Wales got, I'd be melted into a puddle!  Having said that, it would be nice to get a better share of the sunshine, so far our "summer" has been rubbish!

We've been painting the outside of our house these past few days so it's lookin good - we've had all weather, at the start I was painting in my fleece, then dodging the rain showers, and then today was shorts, t-shirt and factor 50!  Not too much left to do, but it's due to be even hotter tomorrow so the paintbrushes will be put away for a day or two. 

Anyway, I treated myself to a couple of the new LOTV stamps, I'm so glad they brought out some of their new release as actual stamps rather than just digis.  The little butterflies are a Penny Black die.
