Lots of Thank Yous!

 Hi all!  Sorry I've been in the missing list for a while ... A combination of COVID finally catching up with us (and totally flooring me), a major lack of mojo and a blogging break, and a week's holiday thrown in for good measure!  But in the mix was a wee order for 60 Thank You cards, which I have to confess was a bit of a struggle!  I couldn't face making 60 the same so made 4 batches.  Apologies in advance for the extra long post!!

First up are made with my lovely floral stamps from Penny Black.  I added some pale blending to the background in various colours though it doesn't show in the photo.  Die is an oldie from Gummiapan.  Flowers coloured with polychromos and popped up on foam pads. 


Penny Black Saturday June - anything goes 
Daisy Chain challenge #75 - no designer paper 
Allsorts #733 - blooms, bees or butterflies 
Fab'n Funky #575 - use a sentiment 

Next up uses a real oldie from Neat & Tangled - i always find him difficult to colour which is probably why he doesn't get inked often!  I have a bit of pale stencilling and some splattered orange metallic paint in the background, not sure where the dies are from, possibly Creative-Depot.  


Another Penny Black stamp for this batch, probably the quickest made as there was no faffing about and no fussy cutting! 


And lastly, and 100% inspired by the MFT Design Team! ....


And just to finish, a wee photo of Molly at Waterfoot beach during my week off, as per usual refusing to look at the camera.  And what a week it was ... wall to wall sunshine with neither a coat nor umbrella in sight!!

Foxglove and a fox

Ooops I've accidentally been shopping again and this cutie from Stamping Bella was one of my purchases.  I've been eyeballing her for a while and just couldn't resist any longer! Unfortunately there's a few others in this set that I will have to resist for another while ;)

Coloured with polychromos, sparkle added to the foxgloves, clear gloss to her wellies and glitter to the leaves in her hat.


This little cutie from Neat & Tangled was the cause of my shopping trip!  Love him!
I need to have a bit of a practice at my colouring though, I reckon he should probably have a more reddish tinge to him.
Coloured with ploychromos and clear gloss added to his eyes and nose.  I masked off my edges and used my sunburst stencil for the background.  Fox popped up on foam pads.  Sentiment added from a different set.
