Thanks

Good evening

Hope this post finds you well. 

Things are slowly returning to normal in our household following the Christmas festivities.  My husband and I were back to work yesterday, my son is back to school on Monday and the decorations are down and back in the loft.  One good thing is that at least I'll know what day it is!

Today's card features one of the images from the 'Furry Festive Friends' set by LOTV.   The backing paper was from my scrap box and unfortunately cannot remember the name. 

I've coloured the image with Copic markers.

The doily behind the images is a Cheery Lynn Die and the sentiment was made from "Spell It Out" by Whimsy Stamps.

I would like to entry the following challenges:

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Challenge 196 Doilies Galore
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Challenge 79 Furry Friends
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes

That's it from my.  Have a good weekend and thank you for your lovely comments.

Having a Lazy Afternoon!

Hello

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon.  I've had a quiet afternoon watching the Olympics whilst crafting.  Congratulations to Lizzy Armitstead on winning our first medal in the Women's Road Race.

Today's card features a hedgehog relaxing in a deck chair. 

There hasn't been many opportunties to do that this summer what with all the rain we've had.  However, I am ever hopeful for some better weather in the weeks ahead - especially as I only have two days to work then I'm on leave for two and bit weeks.  I'm praying for dry sunny days!!

The image is Lazy Days from Penny Black and has been coloured using Copic pens with a touch of prisma pencil.  The flower has been stamped again and layed on top to give some dimension.  The papers are by First Edition - Spring Drop. 

A Cheery Lynn die (Medium Rose) has been used to make the three roses.  My first attempt!!  The leaves are also a Cheery Lynn die

The sentiment is from LOTV - Simply Sophisticated.  The card has been finished off with lace and rhinestones from my craft stash.     

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Summertime (and the living is easy)
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Make Your Own (Roses)

Enjoy the rest of today and have a good week.
