Hi everyone. Hope you're all well and having a fun crafty week. I haven't crafted for nearly 2 weeks until yesterday. I was away and then my CFS is majorly playing up so I've had pains in my hands so I've just not felt like it. Plus I just felt like I'd lost my mojo. I think it's back.... maybe I'll leave it to you to decide that!! Apologies for not getting around to blogs but our phone/internet line is totally messed up at the moment. It's taking me forever to post this! We have an engineer coming on Tuesday who I hope will mend things sharpish!! Oooh, almost forgot... work starts on my craft room next week so I've upped sticks and am moving into our spare room to craft. Not great as I'll have to sit on the floor but am v excited!!!
And so onto today's card...
I lurve this image! Gossipabella by Stamping Bella. I made this as a birthday card for my sis. We spend half our life on the phone to each other!! I coloured her with usual combo of watercolour and lyra pencils and a copic outline. Did some major paper piecing on her skirt, top and bow. Sponged the background whilst image was still in the nestie. Still loving these MME papers SO much. The 2 eyelet brads were in a little scrapbooking set I got from TKMax Home of all places- have a look cos they've got some great little sets for 2 quid- including papers, stamps, brads etc. The chipboard shape I had as a freebie in a mag years ago so I just covered it with matching paper.
I'd like to enter this into:
Bellarific Challenge- paper piecing
Sketch Saturday- sketch
ABC Challenge- use at least 3 different types of embellies- chipboard, flower, brad, eyelet brad, pearls
Belli Challenge- use a forgotten tool- used eyelet setter for eyelet brads
Creative Card Crew- card for a diva
Close up- isn't she so funky?! I LOVE her hair!! The seventies vibe is perfect for my sis too!
The mustard and blue eyelet brads are the ones I got from TKMax. Who'd have thought they'd have such great craft stuff?!!!
