YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS AT MAWTT !

Hi peeps - hope you are all happy and having sunshine wherever you are.

Just popping by with this week's Challenge at Moving Along With The Times -

the theme has been chosen by the lovely Laurie who would like to see "Favourite Things" on your projects this week, and I'm sure we all have lots of those!!
*******************

This will be my last DT project for MAWTT - thanks to Hazel and Teamies for your friendship over the last few months. 
Hope you like the card - I'm not too sure about it myself! (You know when you have one of those days when nothing seems to work out as planned)!!

However, I do LOVE this stamp which was a birthday gift from a good friend of mine - it's called  "Sunrise" by Rachel Anderson, at Sweet Pea Stamps.
I have loads of "favourite things" but on my card I have used just a few of them -  Copics, Fairy, Glitter, Swirls!

Recipe:-
The background for the fairy was brayered over the masked image with Kaleidacolor "Desert Heat" ink. The mask was then removed, and the stamped image coloured with Copics, and cut out with a Nestabilities Labels 4 die.  
The layer of black SU card, and the TH Flourish diecut were spritzed with Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist - Heirloom Gold.  
Corner punch - Anna Griffin.
The black and white paper is Rhonna Farrer  Urban Junque, the green base card is Amy Butler Sola by K and Co.
All edges inked with Brilliance "Lightening Black".
Sentiment - Crafty Individuals.
Glamour Dust on the large Butterfly wings.

SOMETHING SIMPLE AND A BIT "OFF THE EDGE"!

Hi peeps, just a quick post today - hope you're all having a great week, with more sunshine than we are having in foggy West Yorkshire at the moment.

*****

I'm sure you will all have seen the Less Is More Challenge Blog, run by Chrissie and Mandi, but if not, do pop over for details and fab. inspiration. The current challenge theme is "Off The Edge". and I used two images from a very old Habico stamp set - Chinese Flowers 2, plus a sentiment from a set by K and Co. The flower petals were painted with Spun Sugar Distress Ink re-inker.

 Must say - it's nice to de-clutter for a change! 

SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS - RED PINK AND WHITE....

  

 Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you for all your good wishes for my recovery from the "bug" - still not totally Ok, but much better than I was.  As long as I am fully recovered for next Thursday, I really don't mind - yep, I'm going to a Tim Holtz class at Art from the Heart - Sir Tim is visiting Yorkshire - Yaaaaay!!  I am soooo excited - no wonder my tummy is doing cart-wheels!!

****

So, back to the plot -  at Sentimental Sundays this week the challenge is to use Red, Pink and White.
Along with the colour challenge, a sentiment is required on your project please.
There are fab. prizes to be won, from Meljen's Designs and Raindrop Echo Designs - click the SS link above to find out more!

Thanks to everyone who entered last week - there were lots of fabulous projects.  Hope to see you all again this week!

CELEBRATE FRIENDSHIP AT SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS!

Update - January 18th - my card was chosen as "Card of the Week" at Phindy's Place Challenges!! 

Hope you have all recovered from the Christmas/ New Year celebrations (and all those choccies)!! Now tell me honestly - how many of you can't wait to put the trimmings away and get back to normal, and how many of you feel a tinge of sadness when the tree comes down, and those beautiful twinkling lights are packed away for another year?!!

*****

Details can be found by clicking the link above, and there are some fab. freebies up for grabs too, and of course some great DT inspiration!!
