Fishy Fun!!

Hello there :0)

I'm playing along with MUSE for the first time today... I just haven't got round to it until now despite tuning in each week to check out the challenge and gallery, but this weeks fun card by my good friend Therese, inspired my card for today's Make the Day Special DT post.....

The hot weather we're having is playing havoc with my crafting mojo so I was happy when I had a lightbulb moment of turning the chalkboard from Lawn Fawn's A Good Apple into an aquarium by flipping it upside down... the rest of the card fell into place quickly after that!! The one blue bird on Therese's card inspired my athletic green fish to show you his party trick :0)
I used a piece of thin clear film sandwiched between the frame and card for a shiny glass effect...

I'm also playing along with Addicted to CAS  where the theme is water... a very much needed commodity around here at the moment!!!
So here are the challenge details....

                       
                                                                                       

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend :0)

Tea and Friendship

There's nothing like a good natter over a cuppa with friends.... even better if it involves crafting too, so this weeks challenges at Less is More and CASology go together perfectly and having spotted a new challenge blog starting this week called Muse, I knew how I wanted my card to look after I saw Amy's beautiful design.....

I really wanted to try the new blackboard craze that I keep seeing in Blogland.... to be honest when I emboss on black I usually get that effect so I'm quite happy I could liberally use my Inkadinkado Powder Brush without worrying about it :0) Looking at it now I should have put a stick of chalk in the foreground too.

The tea set is an MFT Dienamics diecut which I've inked with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed DI to give dimension and used the polkas from the matching stamp set to add the pattern to the pot and cups. The sentiment is from the same set but I wanted "Friendship" to be a larger font so I used a Woodware alphabet instead :0)

I would love a tea set like that..... how cheery would that be first thing in the morning!!???
