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,

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.

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.

Embossing Fun

 Good morning,

I have had a slightly hectic week, but it's been wonderful. First a trip to the Quilt & Stitch village, then up to Manchester for a Dimenson 20 show with my youngest

 

And my bluebells have finally come out

 

But lets get back to the important business of crafting, because over at Fab'n'Funky challenges...

Embossing

wet/dry

yes we want you to choose which method you like most, or why not mix the up

Soo I got a lovely embossing folder for xmas and I've been dying to use it........

And here it is

Embossing folder - Wisteria background from Lisa Norton

Inks - Perfect plum & Garden green

My foam pad was a little small and I think that is the reason so much ink got on the main body of the card.

But it does seem to give it a little something

Well please check out our lovely ladies at Fab'n'Funky challenges and leave them some love.

Hugs & Happy thoughts
