Friends!

We have had a lovely weekend playing outside in the park yesterday and then going to friends in Coventry today. Alex had a fantastic time playing with Robin and Chloe both at their house and in their local park where they decided that they were in Gaol!

Crafting wise I made the first of my Father's Day cards. This was initially made to fit with the Less is More challenge which was to pick a single square in which to place your image and not have anything else anywhere else on the card except the sentiment.  However when I printed out the sentiment it was in the wrong place for me to fold the white card in half so I cut out a white square instead and mounted it onto the brown card, so it probably doesn't fit the challenge any more! I then stamped my image (Crafty Individuals) onto cream card with distress ink giving it an old fashioned parchment effect and coloured it in with promarkers and mounted it on three layers of card in different shades of brown. I am therefore entering this into Aud Sentiments 'for a man', Colour Create 'white, cream and brown', All sorts 'things with wings' and cards for men 'no designer papers' challenges.

Having failed with my first attempt at the Less is More challenge, I tried again with some more Crafty Individuals stamps, this time using the bottom lefthand corner as the area in which to stamp. I coloured the image in using my promarkers. This card also fits with SCSC 'clean and simple' and Stamp somethings 'sentiment' challenges.

Finally I used the cut off piece of card from the Friendship card to make my first ever scrappling using distress inks and Lavinia stamps. This therefore fits with TioT 'scraplings', Spoonful of Sugar 'things with wings', Paper Play 'blossoms and blooms' and Sew many cards 'circle' challenges.  That is all from me for now. Enjoy your bank holiday Monday tomorrow.
Love,
Caro
