Fur or Feathers

 Hello my lovelies,

Over at Fab'n'Funky challenges the new theme is.........

Fur or Feathers

yes any furry or feathery creature will do as you feature

(Ooow sneaky bit of rhyming there)

This was a true dilema for me, so many stamps (20yr collecting), so much choice, what is a woman to do....................

WINTER SCENE......

yes that's the answer 

a wintery scene with wintery creatures....Hmmm

yes absolutely perfect idea...



The surrounding colours had to be light enough to make the robins stand out, and I don't think I did too bad a job.

I didn't blend the leaves quite as well as I could have, but I don't think it's bad.

Stamp - FTLS Robin's Beautiful Bouquet

Inks - Momento tuxedo black, S.U. ceertainly celery

Punch - S.U. Oval 1.75"

Pens - Promarkers:-

           Robins - Oatmeal, Burnt orange & Cocoa

           Boot - Denim blue, Twilight sky, Tan, Moss & Ice grey5

           Flowers - Apple cider, Moss, Budding rose & dusky rose.

Bakers twine was from stash (unsure of how long ago???)

Simple layering technique to build the card.

Remember to drop by and share some love with the wonderful DT's

Back soon.........

Hugs & Happy thoughts

All Bling

 Hello my lovelies,

How have you been keeping? Have you been crafting this past 2 weeks?

Well, over at Fab'n'Funky challenges we've bong "BLINGY":

Gems and/or Pearls

Yes, bling up your projects

I found an old stamp (can't for love remember where/who) and she was perfect for this challenge

Here she is with her gemmed up boots & dress. Even the butterflies have bling.

After colouring her in I proceeded to attach the 15 mini gemstones..........not easy


 These thing really are small, but, with the best patience I could muster I got there.

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, plenty of gems but not all up in your face.


Stamp - ????? (if any of you recognise it drop a comment below, thanks)

Ink - Momento Tuxedo black

Gems - Been in stash for years

Pens - Promarkers - Outfit:-Powder blue, denim blue, lemon, yellow, 

                                   Hair:- lemon, honeycomb, tan, beige, 

                                   Skin:-almond, sunkissed rose, dusky rose, blush

                               Flower:- apple cider, pear green, moss, lemon, saffron

 

Make sure to visit our lovely DT and leave them good vibes

Back from summer break with a special

 Hello my lovelies,

I hope you have had a wonderful summer. We are back from our summer break over at Fab'n'Funky challenges and it's our 600th post. YES 600th!!!

 And you know what that means, a special post has a special prize.

Yes prize time again, and what is the theme I hear you ask.....well.....

Birthday/Anniversary

Yes we want to see your lovely creations related to birthday or anniversary.

Now I have a favourite computer game and that has a server (multi-player world) which is called Rusty Gears. Now I have not been invited to the Rusty Gears server and I'm not sure my little laptop could cope, but I still love watching the players who are on there. They are amazing builders, so creative.

So I have made this birthday card in homage to those lovely gears


 I had forgotten that I had been gifted a metal shim, but I stumbled across it and remembered a TL die I had been eager to use. This beautiful stepper card die. The gear dies are from a variety of makers.

The other thing that helped inspire this card were these


 So it was a lot of messy finger fun, but I'm pleased with the results

A little rough up and hey presto, slightly rusty gears.

We would love to see you over at the Fab'n'Funky challenges HERE

Please visit all our Fabulous DT's and leave them some love.

Back soon with more crafty shares and maybe some nerdy fun.

Why not check out the Rusty Gears shinanagans - HERE

Anniversary

 Hello my lovelies,

Well what can I say..........I'm just an old romantic.........

Anniversaries mean a lot to me and over at Fab'n'Funky challenges we are celebrating them.

It can be a wedding, work, or whatever anniversary, just let your creativity go.

We are celebrating 37yrs of togetherness and 32yrs of marriage. And YES we have driven each other grey LOL.

I was digging through my digital background papers when I came across this lovely blue one and knew it was perfect .

It's a very simple card but it was made with love, and that's what counts

Pop over and leave our lovely DT's some well deserved love.

Hugs & Happy Thoughts

Buffy xx
