Going round and round,

Woah just like the Beatles song , 'the man with the thousand voices standing perfectly still,  round and round and round, woah ooh ho Ah ha!' 'It's The Fool on the Hill' one of my favourites :D
Welcome everyone :D
A quick post for LIM this week
Lucky Dip Challenge.
It also means that we have a Guest Designer, which this month is 
LTC
The theme for your cards this week is 
ROUND and ROUND
You may interpret this as you wish, but we must be able to recognise the connection!


 Two cards,..... one to say get well and the other a thanks card!
I inked up a background and used a stencil to add a brocade design. Cut out some circles and a die cut  from Crafts Too called 'Entwined' which I inked lightly, trimmed and raised on foam pads.
I'll be by to check out some Limettes work very soon :D Gay x

Rudolph day!!

 Hi crafty lovelies, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, sorry that not everyone shared the warm weather that we had here, it was very nice for a real change :D

Finally I'm able to join in with Sarn's Rudolph day Challenge So late but better that than not at all :D
 Die cut holly from Penny Black, inked and stamped with glitter for the berries, simples!

Happy Monday everyone, hugs Gay xx

That's lucky :D

Hello again lovely crafty friends, I hope I find you all Tickety Boo ? :D Been a little chilly here today but we're set for a warm weekend, Yippee!!!

I have a card for this week's CASology challenge where the cue is 'LUCKY'

I took the pic from a stamp by Whipper Snapper called Hunny Bunny. I drew it much larger, on the stamp it's 3cm tall and mine is 10cm it has also gained another leaf and a ladybird :D They're precariously dancing along the flower stem! They'll be lucky if it holds their combined weight! I read on Google that ladybirds are considered lucky :D
Coloured with Copic Ciao pens and a little Diamond glaze to make the ladybird's wings shiny and done........ !!
Thanks for stopping by, hugs Gay x

BLUSH!

Hello my lovely crafty friends, I'm rushing in to share a card for CASology, where the cue is
BLUSH, what a beauty, so many ways to tackle this one, spoilt for choice! I tried cute but that didn't work then I tried painting, that was a little better,
Squishy paint mmm yum yum. My technique is 'just go for it'! :D I loaded the brush with two colours. A couple of years ago I did a one day painting course for longboats/barges called 'Roses and Castles', lots of fun and this is where I picked up the two colour idea.

This pic shows my practice board, somewhere there is a photo of the castle I painted but I can't find it :(........

Found it :D
Yes, well, probably shouldn't have bothered it was so much better in my memory LOL !!

The colours I chose for my card were coral and orchid, in acrylic paint.
 Added the sentiment and branches last.
I have loads of catching up to do, it's been a very distracting time, lots going on here so I am way behind on returning visits to my lovely readers. I am coming soon :D Thank you for still visiting even though  I'm such a useless blogger :(
Hope all is good with you, hugs Gay xxx
