Christmas no card

 Hello

Another exciting week over at Fab'n'Funky challenges

Our challenge this week is 

Christmas but not a card

(anything christmassy but not a card)

 So I had a little bit of fun with my best friend Heather and we made 

Paper Baubles

Super simple and fairly quick to make

You just need:

• 6 circles (all the same size)
• Glue/double-sided tape
• String/ribbon

 All our lovely DT always appreciate a visit - HERE

Wedding

 Hello lovely people,

We're thinking about long term commitment over at Fab'n'Funky challenges

This weeks challenge is

Wedding 

show us your beautiful

I discovered a small box of pearlescent cardstock when I was moving my craft stuff into my shed. It seemed like the perfect medium for a wedding card.

Here I have used pale beige and cream with lots of layering.  

Sunshine at Fab'n'Funky #522

 Hello

So this week over at Fab'n'Funky we are looking for

Sunshine Colours

I had great fun using stencils for this creation. (Stencil I forgot I had 🙈)

So I started with the lightest colours 

I bought these a little while ago and I am really enjoying using them, "finger ink blending brushes", I find they are much smoother than the foam finger blenders and they don't breakup like foam does.

And of course I label them after use, who wants to cross-contaminate their blenders 😉

For the narrow branches I used a good old fashioned cotton buds

 Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

The finishing ribbon was simply put on using double-sided tape.

Just slowly worked my way round the corners, folding them at 90degrees to produce a neat 45 degree angle.

Please leave the lovely design team some love and go have some fun.

Fab challenge

Hello my lovelies, I hope you have had a GREAT week and you are ready for some more sharing.

So here is Fab'n'Funky's challenge offering

Our challenge this week is 

NEW

optional-change it up

this weeks theme is all about new, so babies, homes, jobs, etc. 

(Optional extra - try one colour scheme but for both 1 male & 1 female version.) 

I decided to colour-in my chosen stamp with the same colours, I then based all the backing papers and accessories on those colours.

So the Prams are coloured in using ProMarker colours March Hare, Tawny Owl & Olive green, with slate on the tyres. The backing papers were from the same collection (can't remember the name 😔) with a muted colour palette. 

I also used a woodgrain textured paper, minimising its use on the feminine version. 

Stamps - WMS sentiments & FtLoS New arrival

Ink (sentiments) - SU Olive green

Corner punch

Wooden gems
