Anything Goes Challenge 100 In the Garden

Tuesday is challenge day over at the Anything Goes Challenge Blog 

This week we are enjoying being "In the Garden" with butterflies everywhere !!

Our challenge is open from 0800 today for the next two weeks please come and join us for our 100th challenge, we love coming to visit your amazing blog's !!

I couldn't resist taking the butterflies to the extreme for my card using a combination of Marianne Designs, punches and Cheery Lynn to make them fly absolutely everywhere.

I used Perfect Pearls to dress them up a bit

and Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge to cut the fence, added some doodling and bakers twine

The doily and smaller cuts are made with a brand new set of dies from Spellbinders called Delightful Circles

I used this weeks sketch from the  Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog and have entered my card just for fun !! x !!

Lynn's on line shop continues to be under construction but don't forget to pay her a visit at The Craft Den if  you are near Sheffield.

FCCB Challenge 159 MUM x

Happy Monday !!

Yippee !!

Today life goes back to normal, unsociable hours, working weekends, days off split !!

CRAFTING TIME BACK !!

Mother's Day is the theme of this weeks FCCB Challenge 159

We celebrate Mother's Day in March here in the UK so I have changed the theme very slightly for my DT project and created a Pinflair Easel and plaque with MUM on it

The easels are really easy to put together and are made from shiny coated card, I painted it all with white Gesso and then brushed black Gesso lightly over it

 I used Frayed Burlap distress ink to soften the white and Rock Candy Crackle Paint as a top coat to seal it, once it was dry I stuck it together with Pinflair glue gel

I painted the plaque with white acrylic metallic paint to soften the black Gesso and embossed a Kanban music stamp in the top right corner

I used paper flowers from the Ribbon Girl with some punched leaves and butterflies to finish

My all important Cricut cut comes from the Artiste cartridge and is MUM cut x4 stuck together and stuck onto the banner that comes in the Pinflair kit

I'm looking forward to having more time to look round everyone's blogs this week so I hope you will join us over at FCCB for this fab challenge

Please remember to use a least one Cricut cartridge and name the cartridge(s) used

The challenge is open from 0800 today until 1900 Sunday evening

This is the "other" Mother's Day card I made for daughter JoJo's "nearly" mother in law. Thought I should get into the habit of cyber recording all my personal cards makes so everyone gets something totally different next year lol how's that for a brain wave after 2 night shifts ? ?  ...... Just entering my 22nd sleep deprived  hour .... yawn bed time sooon for me !! x
