I hope you have all had a good week and are ready for the lovely long weekend!!!! .. .. .. I sure am!! .. .. .. I hope I can sleep in a bit over the break without waking up "mega excited about everything" as I usually do.
I just love Friday nights!
My hubby always cooks on Friday nights and makes us both fish, chips (made from "real" potatoes"), potato fritters and mushy peas - and I craft whilst he cooks!! Lucky me.
I look forward to Friday night all week. (Very naughty to wish my life away but I live for the weekend when I can craft for England).
So my crafty session tonight created:
Background papers - Pink Petticoat
Image - Sugar Nellie "Daisy" (part of an image swap from my bloggy mate Jackie xx)
Ribbon - Celebration (so much on this reel it is unbelievable)
Woodware Punch - Multi SunflowerPunch
Fiskars Threading Water
Brads and gems from my stash box
Hopefully my photograph is good enough to show that this is a card where I chopped the "front face" in half prior to mounting the image.
I coloured the image with promarkers and then chalked gently around the image - though this may not show up too well.
I am really pleased with this card. Quite a different one for me - which is why I think image swaps are great fun. The swap hasn't stopped me wanting to buy the image - in fact it has made me "want" to buy it (thanks again Jackie for spending my money - I would struggle to know what to spend my crafty allowance on without you!! LOL!!!)
Little Daisy is so sweet. I wonder if I ever looked that sweet and innocent .. .. .. I doubt it somehow.
Catch you all again over the weekend with my Penny Black Challenge entry .. .. .. .. whatever that may be!!!
Oh I am so excited about a Bank Holiday weekend - so much I want to do. Why don't we have Bank Holiday weeks??????? Would anyone join in a petition if I started one??!!!?!?
Catch you tomorrow and thanks for calling by.
Love Jules xx

Oh Jules, this is so pretty. I love Daisy, she's such a delightful little image - and perfect for you (at least I knew where to look this time)! I really like the way you've shaped the mount and the card front too. Have a great weekend, I'll be back to see what else you've been creating. Hugs, Nicki, xx.

Fabby card hun, that colour combo is just stunning and those papers work so well with the beautifully coloured image. x
ReplyDeleteLove this card Jules, I like that it's half at the front. I want this stamp so much, so I went to Funky Kits website to buy it on Saturday and was so disappointed to find it wasn't there any more! You've coloured her in beautifully.
