Otters by Pollyanna Pickering

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? I can't believe we have got to the middle of the week already. Where does the time go? I had lunch out with a friend yesterday. Today I am off to the hairdressers in the rain. That should be fun.

I have been having a look through my files and I found I card I hadn't shared. I made it for a friend who was having a bit of a hard time and I just wanted him to know that we were thinking of him.

The backing paper came from a Creative World of Crafts paper pad. The sentiment was in a different pad by them. I do like things that match. 

I  love Pollyanna Pickering images they are so detailed. 

I hope our friend liked this card. I know he is feeling a lot better now. 

Happy Crafting

Cute Owl by Pollyanna Pickering - Get Well Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are well and that the weather hasn't affected you too much. I have had a busy couple of days getting ready to go away. It is so lovely having the time to do this.

Just before we go. I would like to share another card with you.

The backing paper is that very useful packaging from an M&S flower bag. 

This little owl by Pollyanna Pickering is just so cute it couldn't fail to cheer someone up.

This was a nice easy card to make with very pleasing results. 

I hope you have a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Alphabet Challenge - I for Ink It Up!

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is nearly here. I am off to a crafty workshop with my friend tomorrow, I am really looking forward to it.

It is time for the new challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog the letter is I for Ink it Up. Here is my card I was rather pleased with this one.

To create the background I used a technique that John Lockwood demoed with Pixie Powders. I used my Brushos which I think behave the same but they are not sparkly. I sprinkled three shades of the Brushos  powders onto my craft mat, you don't need much, then I sprayed the powders with water. I used a lot of water as I wanted the colours to be a bit more subtle. In my hand I held background stamp Spring Trail by Creative Expressions and I stamped with the Brusho all over some water colour card. I left it to dry before I moved on to the next bit. 

Last time I went into town I treated myself to a new stamp by Woodware it is called Going to Seed. It was stamped with black archival and heat embossed with a clear powder. I think it shows up really well against the background. 

The sentiment came in the the same stamp set. 

That is all from me today. I hope that you have a wonderful day. 

Thank you for all your visits and comments I do appreciate them all. 

I would like to enter Challenge 318 at Crafty Creations Challenges , Challenge 91 at the Inspiration Destination Challenge Blog and Challenge 80 at LTSCB.

Happy Crafting.
