Splash

Good afternoon, I should be in the garden but believe it or not it's too hot!!!

Al has gone to do battle with nettles in the field, so I have been on my tod with the dog and my crafting goodies. It's far too warm for housework, LOL.

The challenges at CASology always give me trouble, they make you think outside the box.

This week the theme is SPLASH.

Mmm, what to do? I then remembered the Tatty Teddy stamp I picked up in the bargain bucket with Di a couple of weeks ago, voila!

This little teddy is splashing tea into a cup and nothing cheers better than a cuppa, hence the sentiment!

The image is coloured with Copics and then mounted on pink to show a slither of colour before placing on an A5 top fold white card.

Can I take this opportunity to say thank you to all the people who have clicked follow this blog recently.

It's great that you want to see what I'm upto, I really appreciate it.

Truly, Madly Deeply

Morning all, it's Tuesday so it's a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz .

This week with it being Valentines Day on Friday what else would it be but:-

Truly, Madly, Deeply

Get those romantic stamps out of the drawer and join us in this latest challenge.

As I've said before I don't do Valentine's Day and this is the second one I've had to come up with. This time I took refuge in one of my favourite styles CAS, what do you think?

Tricky to create a card for a guy without getting too sloppy. Think this little Tatty Teddy fits the brief. I searched in the many boxes of stamps to find a suitable image and found this freebie stamp of some magazine or other from months ago, I think the paper may have been from the same mag. The card is a twist on a couple of other cards I've done recently but as it's for Valentine's Day I used a heart cut out. Has I haven't got a heart die I had to do it freehand. I used a lightly textured linen card as the top layer and cut Tatty out and placed him flat as the heart was on pads over the DP. I left the DP larger than the top layer as I liked the effect of the thin border. As he has a little label, I left it clear of any other sentiment. I used Copics to colour him as follows:-

Hearts and Pot - R32, 35, 37, 39

Tatty Teddy - C10, 7, 5, 3, 0  B000, 00, 02

Leaves - YG 11, 13, 17
