Masculine

 Hey good morning,

We have to remember all those wonderful men in our lives, so over at Fab'n'Funky challenges we want you to show us

Masculine

whatever your take of masculine is, be it colours or images

 

I have gone for a CAS card style, with minimal colour pallette

I first stamped the lantern using S.U.baked brown sugar inkpad, then masked it off. 

Next the boot-prints were stamped using S.U.soft suede inkpad. 

The lantern was coloured in using promarkers - caramel, cinamon, burnt sienna and lemon.

Finishing with the sentiment in Momentos tuxedo black.

Stampset used was F.t.L.o.S. The Great Outdoors.

Please pop over and leave some love for our wonderful Design Team, they always enjoy your visit, HERE

Youngest daughter popped home from Uni to bring me some fabric and get her measurements taken for a cosplay costume she wants.

And Yes, for those of you who've been visiting me for years you will recognise this concept art, Hatsune Miku 2020 winning costume. We never got round to making it as lockdowns shut down all the events.

So now we are finally getting it made, I say we but the sewing will be ME. I am making her do all the hand-painting on the skirt 😉.

Back again soon with more sharing

Weekend of chaos

 After a very soggy week, I spent over half the weekend trying to dry my crafting shed out. 

Well at least it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been, the roof is still in place.

On the plus side, have washed up all the water leaks it is now very clean. 

Still chaotic but clean (youngest daughter keeps threatening to go organise it, it's organised chaos), Hey I basically know where everything is! 

Ok Ok so now and then I put something back in the wrong place and then spend weeks trying to find it, BUT, that's when I discover an old stamp set I haven't used in years 😉

 

I just received news, I passed my college course "Understanding Autism" 💖Woohoo💖

So, how many of you remember me mentioning this back 2020

Well there will be more news to follow shortly 

PLUS 

I will be revealing something very soon (November)

Spooky season fast approaches

 I love this time of year

Pumpkin pie, hot totties and the little children in their halloween costumes, so much fun.

As you may remember I crochetted a little witch and a candy-corn, see here. 

Well I made a slightly larger candy-corn keyring with eyes

So now on to the card-making, I spotted that The Sisterhood of Crafters had an exciting challenge

Pumpkins!!!

So pleased to be able to put my WMS stampset to good use again, it was getting lonely on the shelf.

Although there is a pumpkin promarker, I used it the least. Apricot, honeycomb a little pumpkin and some moss green helped to give the pumpkins a more rounded appearence. With a tiny pop of white gel pen on top.

The apples are crimson, poppy and cardinal. Pear is lemon, lime green and apple green. Lastly the grapes are plum, orchid and violet.

White and Honeycomb cardstock. 

And when you spend quite a bit of time on the card, well then envelope has to have a hint of something

I would also like to enter this card into the following fabulous challenges:

• Creatalicious challenges - Anything goes + optional halloween 
• Stamping sensations - Autumn colours + anything goes 

 

Hope you are all as excited about Halloween as I am.

Keep crafting and smiling
