We have had a busy but fun weekend with a combination of washing, tidying, cleaning, doing the weekly shop and going to an indoor play area with friends yesterday, followed by church and a trip to a friends house today. So much fun, especially when we all (adults included) had a go on scooters in the near dark!
I have also had time for some crafting this weekend. It was my turn to set the challenge over at
Quirky crafts this week, and I chose 'Silhouette' as the challenge, because at this time of year I always see such stunning silhouettes against the sunrise on my way to work. We have Stitchy Bear stamps as our sponsor this week and so the next two cards used their digital stamps. In order to create them both, I inked the backgrounds before putting the card through the printer, which meant a lot of careful measuring, especially in this first one, as the whole card is one layer. To finish this off, I just added hologram glitter glue to the wings. I am also entering this card into
CCCB 'back to black',
Flutterby Wednesday 'bright colours'
MTTC 'Hugs & Kisses' challenge as I made this card for a friend who is going through a tough time and needs some love.
The second card was made by layering up onto black, brown and then finally blue card. I finished it off with some textured, non shiney ribbon, some real shells and a shrink plastic shell. This card followed
The Pixie Cottage sketch for this week and I am entering it into
Crafty cardmakers 'no floral embellishments',
Gingersnap Creations GC134 'ribbon' and
SCSC 'Anything goes with blue' challenges.
Finally I made a simple card for this weeks
Less is More challenge, which is 'birds'. I actually have a lot of bird stamps I discovered, but thought I would use this one which is new and part of a 7Gypsies set (Conservatory). I have to confess I was a little disappointed with the stamp as the image showed more definition than the stamp gave me. The background was made by colouring with a Whispers pen in a nestability die! I am also entering this into the
DYSU 'Pink' challenge. That is all from me. I hope you have a good week.
Love,
Caro

Good evening Caro looks like a fun weekend my grandchildren love their scooters. Not been tempted to have a go yet as am known for falling over and badly spraining an ankle when trying to keep up with the grandchildren - more than once lol.
