Happy Saturday

 Hi friends,

So sunny Southend is not so sunny anymore, Autumn has truly arrived, the wind has been awful here!

I'd like to say thank you to those that have left comments recently, they are much appreciated. So I'm sharing something a bit different today. I have used Lili of the Valley flower alphabet letters. I must admit it was a labour of love as a few thing were a bit disastrous and I started it a couple of times and did some changes once finished. There are a few pics to show....

So this is the first one and I foiled the letters by using my laser printer, placed foil over the top in rose gold and then run it through my laminator a few times to make sure that the foil adhered to the letters. This is the first time I had tried this. I followed a YouTube video by Crifty Crafty which you can find here and used I the same foil and laser printer in the video, my laminator is a Fellowes. You can see the foiling on this one.

Then disaster struck, as you can see I used my Promarkers to colour the letters and then this happened...

A blooming blob which I couldn't repair so had to start again. The next picture is a finished version, but I wasn't too happy with the pink paper...

So this is the finished version, the frame I've had for a while and came from Poundland and yes it cost a whole £1.

I so prefer it with the white background. Here is what I used to make the frame...Image Lili of the Valley, Promarkers, Deco Foil, Samsung laser printer, Poundland frame, Trimcraft flowers and bling from stash.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and please stay safe.

Tulip Card

Good evening.

So I have just got back from a short break away, firstly my partner and I stopped off in York for a couple of days. What a lovely city, we took in some of the sights. Then stopped off in Scunthorpe to visit friends and then Sunday we went to Newark to visit more friends and to remember the Battle of Britain at their memorial. The Battle of Britain was 80 years ago today (Tuesday 15th September). Here are a couple of photos (my partner is on the right of the first picture).

Anyway I do have a card I made just before I went away. I really enjoyed making this. The tulips have been coloured with Hunkydory Prisms. Hope you all like it!

To make this card I used an embossing folder from Docrafts, Marianne Designs Petra triangle and everything else is unbranded.

Have a great week, I'm having a crafting day tomorrow and will share what I make at a later date.

OMG We're in September!

 Hello
Well August went too fast! I've been away for a week house sitting so not much crafting done apart from some knitting. I'm making a basket weave blanket in multi colour yarn, I will share this with you once I have finished.
I have a card to share with you that I made using watercolour pencils, I must admit I like using them as I find them easier to use than my Promarkers!  I used a wooden Penny Black stamp that I've had for years. I'm going to enter this into some challenges, I've not done this for so long. Anyway here is my card...

To make this card I have used the following items:
Penny Black 'Jungle Tulip' wooden stamp, Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Unbranded cutting die, Sprinkles, Lili of the Valley sentiment stamps, ribbon from stash and Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and have a great week, see you soon. Please stay safe.
