A crochet creation and CAS card

 Hello my lovelies,

I promised to share my latest crochet creation and here she is

 I even gave her a candy-corn. My granddaughter ran off with the candy corn but the little witch is sitting in our geocache waiting to be taken to her forever home.

I have also been doing quite a bit of card-making recently. I know there was a time when I would be posting on a regular basis but I lost myself for a while and I couldn't find me or my mojo. 

BUT

I'm starting to get back my mojo, it had just been buried quite deep.......SOOOO back to the importantly fun card-making/creating.

I have created this lovely little card for an interesting challenge

They have this intersting colour challenge at CAS Colour & Sketch and I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have put these 3 colours together myself and that's what makes it fun, so without further ado

And yes it's very simple and clean, maybe too simple. 

But it has presence and the cloloured hexagons  in this photo seems a lot darker than in real life, I'm going to have to check my camera setting.

So I used my S.U. hexagon punch, S.U. thin oval punch, white cardstock and Tuxedo black ink for the sentiment (which was free on a magazine and about 10yrs old)

Well I still have dozens of christmas cards to make so I will see you soon.

Show your Colouring

 So been a little while but I think I'm slowly getting back to me, which is a great thing.

Baked butter bread with my granddaughter, crocheted a witch & a candy corn BUT I also got back to some card-making.

And, our challenge this week over at Fab'n'Funky challenges is:

Show us your colouring

yeah, cool challenge right, so simple. So whether your a fan of pencils, markers, crayons or paint, just go wild and show us what ya got.

As you may have guessed I'm a fan of Promarkers, but here I allowed the cardstock to tell me where to add colour. Tan & sandstone promarkers to add shadows to the wals, terracota for the bricks and chimneys and a variety of greens for all the foliage. Plus, just for fun, a white gel pen for the cute picket fence, door and window sills.

This was also a multi layer masking excerise. Fence first, then the conifer, next the house and finally the small stones at the front.

Please visit all our lovely DT's and leave them some well deserved love.

I'll share my crochet makes next time.

Wings or Scales

 Hello my lovelies,

I hope your summer break was as good as mine. Youngest daughter came home from Japan, granddaughter has mastered the potty (like the boss she is) and I've been doing a course on foraging (that I had completely forgot I had gotten...oops)

Well, Fab'n'Funky challenges are also back from summer break.......YIPPEE......and we want to see

Wings or Scales

Yes that's right, show us your scaly or wingy creations

My eldest great nephew's birthday is fast approaching so I fashioned him a little card, that goes with our theme.

Super simple and clean, although I'm not going to lie, my blending wasn't the greatest on this one....

The dragon is the star of the show but....everyone likes a knight in shining armor so

I grabbed my clear sakura gel pen and sparkled him up.

I also used, Promarkers, Momento inkpad, Fine-line pen, S.U. punch and pale green cardstock for the card.

I hope you all had a great summer, please remember to leave some love for all the DT at Fab'n'Funky challenges and I'll see you on the next challenge

Monochromatic Time with a pop (#577)

 

 We are experimenting over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges, we're testing our nerves, oooww. 

Yes we have an interesting challenge for you this time

Monochrome

BUT

with a single colour pop

I hear you cry "What on earth are you goin on about?" Soooo, it can be black & White or Brown & White or Navy & White or Red & White or Green & White (well you know where I'm going with this) BUT you get to add a small pop of 1 other colour.

Simple right?..........Hhhmmm...........actually...........it can be quite challenging. I mean seriously who wants a lack of colour on there birthday/christmas/thank you card.

BUT

It can be done..........oh yes..........It can be done...................Mwahahahaha

Behold the mono colour pop it all it scary glory................

I went totally minimal on this one. 

I have this super little stamp from HunkyDory FTLS,
