Something a little different!

Just a quick post for a Saturday evening as I finally got round to making a card for the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie fab World before it closes tomorrow.
I'm still new to this photo inspiration type of challenge but I just loved this photo and pretty much new what I wanted to do!

I used my very old Hero Arts deckle squared background stamp with versamark and then applied chalk in different shades to blend together before making a mask from four of the squares and then moved it around the grid to over stamp with the periwinkle flower. 
It's not my usual style but it was great stepping out of my comfort zone, hope you like it too :)


Well that's all for tonight as I need an early night ... Hannah is going off tomorrow morning for a weeks camping with the guides as a young leader/ranger and our estate car has been ear-marked to help carry kit from the storage container to the coach, it'll be an early start for a Sunday morning!

Thanks for calling in X

A Raindance Card !!!

Okay, please don't blame me for the rain this morning because of the card I have to show you .... I'm sure it had no effect on the weather at all :)

This card is for no less than three challenges, oooh get me combining challenges eh !!!

First challenge is Moxie Fab world which have a lush coat as there Tuesday Trigger this week, Oh I'd love to have a nipped in waist like that again :)

Next is St Luke's Charity Cards who are asking for Black,White and another colour this month. This is a very worthy Challenge site as you can also send your cards to St Luke's Hospice so they can sell them to raise much needed funds for the Hospice so please hop over to the blog to read more here and support the fab work they do :)

...And finally A Passion for Papertrey , a challenge site I've been stalking for a while and now I have a  few stamp sets from PTI I can join in too :)  They have a challenge running called sweet summertime and I thought this very fitting .... I know tongue in cheek stuff but our summers usually turn out this way :)

Stamps and dies are PTI and I've used part of  a brass stencil to emboss the raindrop background.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my last post, I'm gradually trying to visit those I can and say hello too but if I don't get round to you please know that I appreciate your kind, supportive words ;oD

That's all for now folks
