I'm sorry for the brief post today, but I don't want to miss the challenge deadlines.

I heat embossed the dandelion and sentiment, and sponged the colours through a Nestie aperture, before finishing it off with a fussy cut dragonfly

Dandelion Trio

Well I'm a little tired today after playing with Nathan yesterday, but at least we've got our costumes ready for Trick or Treating at the weekend. He's so excited, I just hope he doesn't get too frightened by all the gruesome costumes of others doing the same!!

Anyway, today's card is for the Clean and Simple challenge #163 where they have this sketch.


So I started with a white card and Versamark stamped on it three dandelion seed heads and heat embossed them with gold powder, and then did the same with the sentiment. Simples!!


Here's the card

Recipe : Card = Whisper White
Stamps = Personal Impressions
Inks = Versamark
Tools = Heat Gun
Extras = Gold embossing powder

I'm off to Jacqueline's tonight to have a crafting session so I'd better get my stuff together.

Thanks for dropping by, and I'll be back with more creations soon.

Triple Layer Dandelion Wish

This afternoon I have had an hour to myself, and I've spent it unwinding and trying to craft. Again, I've struggled with where and what to start, but finally decided to hit two for the price of one with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge #21 hinting at the colours idea ( I went with shades of Green with Brown ), and Less is More challenge for the layout.






I used a cream square card as the base and stamped the sentiment in brown in the bottom corner. With the BS I cut 3 label nestabilities in 3 different green cards and layered them with the darkest at the bottom and lightest on the top. I then stamped the dandelion head in brown on the top card.



This is the finished simple card, what do you think?

Recipe : Card = SU Garden Green, Green Galore, Gable Green, and cream card from my stash

Ink = Chocolate Chip

Stamps = Personal Impressions

Tools = Big Shot and Labels nestabilities

Thanks for looking here today, and I'll be back again with some more project soon ( I hope!)

Make a Wish

I am absolutely exhausted today as I've been doing the gardening since 9.30am. It desperately needed the weeding done and the lawns had started to grow again after all the rain we've had. So 3 full bin bags later I've crashed out on the sofa in agony. My RA doesn't like gardening so my entire body is screaming with pain, even blinking hurts!!

After lying here stifly on the sofa for several hours ( watching things I've Sky +'d  and not watched ) my joints have started to move again, so this afternoon I have made a quick card for the Less is More challenge

Their theme is a One Layer Card entitled "Seeing Double" where there needs to be 2 of something.

This is what I came up with

The first dandelion was stamped with Versamark off center on a black square card and then I heat embossed it with white powder, and covered with a Post It. The second one was stamped to the right of the first and slightly lower down ( so it looks like it's behind the first), and again heat embossed. The sentiment was added at the bottom and treated the same as the dandelions.

Recipe : Card = Black from my stash
Ink = Versamark
Stamp = Personal Impressions
Extras = White embossing powder

I love dandelions and have wanted a stamp of one for ages, so I couldn't leave it at just one and tried a different colour combo. Here it was stamped in black on a cream card and green sponged around it to give depth. I think I prefer the white and black one, what about you??

Recipe: Card = from my stash
Stamps = Personal Impressions
Inks = SU Certainly Celery and Adirondack Black

While I was at my sister Cassy's on Sunday we went to the Market Harborough Arts Festival. There were lots to see and do, from circus type acts, to a drumming band ( which Cassy was part of ) , children's fairground rides, and Bric-a-Brac and craft stalls.

As I had had such a bad week Cassy treated me to the dandelion stamp and some Papermania clear 'Relations' stamps. So Thank You Cass, I hope you like what I've done with them.

I hope I will have more energy tomorrow and get back at the craft table creating something.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you can come back again soon.
