Morning Everyone,
What a day yesterday it was so funny,as you are all probably aware it's half term this week so Katy arranged to go to Oxford shopping with 2 friends one lives in the next village to us so she was going to get on the bus first and Katy and her friend were going to get on the same bus but in our village,well that was the plan but what we didn't know was that the bus company changed last week and had changed the bus stops,so as you can image they were waiting at what they thought was the stop and the bus complete with friend went sailing by and didn't stop..So they ran back home into the car we got and then it was lets play catch up with the bus, which we did eventually,by which time we were on the outskirts of Oxford,the girls were laughing so much at their friend looking out the back of the bus checking if we were there.....
Anyway after all of that drama I packed some samples ready for the courier to pick up to send to Crafters Companion today and then made a card just because I wanted to I don't make many of those these days so it as nice, and here it is.......
I managed to find some challenges which it will fit into and they are.....
Partytime Tuesdays- Anything Goes
Sweet Stamps - Flowers
Incy wincy designs - use Punches or Dies
Lexis creations - Flowers
I Did it Creations - Anything Goes
For my card I've used one of the new Magnolias coloured with promarkers but I can't find the list at the moment when I do I'll put them on here...
I have cut Tilda out with my nesties....Then I have used four different papers from Cosmo cricket Circa 1934 pad matted them onto black card and stitched around each of them...
I've used my X-Cut punch called leafy lace for the border.....The lace is from my stash and the bow is made with seam binding from Crafty Ribbons which has been distressed...The flowers are all from Mulberry Crafts and the sentiment is from a Whimsy stamp set...Right I think that's it,I'm off to my Mum and Dad's now then back later to see if I can make something else....Take care...
