SHABBY CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

How are you coping with the hot weather ?

I am not very good with hot weather it saps all my energy, and I don't sleep too well either even though we have a fan in the bedroom, and live in a bungalow.

Today I have a shabby chic design card I made for my Daughter's Birthday recently.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I coloured my white base card pink with Colour Cloud Rose Blush Ink.

I then coloured the edges of my paper

with Colour Cloud Fresh Grass Ink, and distressed the edges with scissors.

I coloured my ribbon with the same inks, and the edges of the die cuts.

I made the little flowers with some of the paper.

Added a lacy butterfly, and then splatted watered down gesso all over it.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment made.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BITTERFLY CHALLENGE AND SNIPPETS CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you make.
I love to read everyone, and am so pleased that you have visited me.

Now the Butterfly Challenge No 36 is for you 
to use Washi Tape on your entry.
Well can you guess in amongst all my stash I
didn't have any Washi Tape shock horror.
So as it's the last few days before the challenge 
finishes, and Ashford in Kent doesn't have a 
craft shop anymore I started to panic, and 
thought I wouldn't be able to join the challenge
this time, but good old supermarket 
Sainsbury's had some in their stationery 
department.
So here is what I made.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used DI in Milled Lavender, Peacock Feathers,
Yellow Pan Pastel, and a Chalk Box ink in a
peach shade dabbed on white card with a sponge.
Then I sprayed it with a Crafters Companion
Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond.
The Washi Tape is behind the butterfly, and I
attached some to some snippets card, and cut
out the corners, and flowers.
My inside circles is a die I won on Bibiana's
Spanish blog when Memory Box were showing 
their Autumn Collection.
This is a Halloween Die, but I snipped out the
Halloween parts, and added a circle to the back.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RAINY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

Good evening to all you wonderful and talented blog friends and
visitors.
THANK YOU for all your kind comments on my last work.
I really do appreciate every one that you have made, and they have
made my mojo come flying back last night.
I do hope it's here to stay. lol.

Tonight I have a card I made last night. The image I coloured
in a while ago when I first won 2 lovely Saturated Canary Images
in a challenge.

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.

This shaped card I bought at the NEC on a everything for a
pound stall. It was white but I used Tumbled Glass Distress
Ink to colour the card blue to go with the image.
The image is as I stated a Saturated Canary one coloured in
with Tria Markers and Flexmarkers.
The papers are ones from a paper stack book .
The butterfly is off and old hair clip that broke.
I made the stick pin in the bow, and the flowers were made
from the Britannia Small Rose Die I bought at the NEC.
Thank you again for your visit,
I do hope you all have a wonderful and crafty weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
