We had wonderful weather at the weekend, brilliant sunshine and so definitely time for the park and lots of fun, however, the walk to school this morning was wet and windy and horrid. Total opposites.
It is time for another
WOYWW and here is my desk, covered in cuttlebug embossing folders and a filthy brayer in need of cleaning after my crafting session with Alex this morning. My fresh mug of tea is sat there ready for me to clear my desk for work (yep, I work full-time and from home one day a week). The little zebra you can see is Alex's creation from this morning.
He drew the shape (I cut it out for him for speed and accuracy), then he embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder, then brayered in black ink over the top to give the zebra stripes (somehow we managed to keep it of the school uniform!). He will add some eyes tonight.
Here is my crafting for this week, a card made for
Less is More 'one layer with wings', and taking inspiration from
Speedy Fox's 'photo inspiration' challenge. I made the card by embossing the frame first, then stamping the Crafty Individuals bird flourish stamp in the middle, then masking the birds and using a masked frame placed over the top and distress inks to make the tile pattern. I am also entering this into
CCC 'Two's company' (2 birds), and
SSSS 'favourite' (my favourite technique is masking which I have used twice in this card). That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro

I love the card, gorgeous. This is what I love about WOYWW, we get to see so many ideas and get so much inspiration. I love how you've used the squares stamp as a 'background'. I have a few of these type of stamps( just bought another off e-bay) and you have given me a great idea on how to use them better.Have a great week, Shaz #96
