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 late lullaby

Hi everyone ,

Maybe this is an indication of how I run my life but I seem to have missed the deadline on the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World , I thought the clue was in the title but the deadline was Sunday 26th :(

Hey ho I'll show you it anyway because I used my new sewing machine for the first time on paper having practised a bit on material first .

I have been quite literal with the photo inspiration and I'm quite chuffed with the sewing although I need to focus on straight lines now I think .... yep I went round twice so as the wonky lines looked intentional :)





It has been way too hot today ..... I like a bit of summer weather but this is the extreme and my craft room is like an oven , lets hope the storm arrives to break the heat .

Bye for now and thanks for visiting X
