Lovable...

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post and for all the well wishes...they really do mean so much to me. At the moment, here at Chez Williams', it never rains when it pours and luck doesn't seem to be on my side ~ a torn tendon in my shoulder is the latest drama!! Bad timing? Yep!!!  Who needs Dallas when you could come and you could live here...lol!!

Anyway, enough about me and time for the second of my Bunting With A Difference set of projects that I made for Making Cards Magazine ~ as always, hope you like it!!

Products used to make this card set are from Graphic 45 and Sizzix!

Time for me to go...I'll be back with the final card from this set soon and I'll be visiting everyone, asap!!

Bye for now and have a wonderful evening!

It's All Perspective

Another Bank Holiday weekend has come and gone and I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and you saw some blue skies and sunshine!

So, as I look at my diary for this week, it's already starting to look like "one of those" ker-razy weeks for me. I'm going to be as busy as a little bee, lots of crafting to be done, fingers to get inky, paper to be cut, shaped and stuck and all this will culminate with my birthday on Friday. Shh, don't tell anyone but I'll be 21 again...

But before any of that happens, here's todays card that I wanted to share with you all...

As you've probably noticed, it's the same stamp and same watercolour technique as in my previous post and I did actually make this card at the same time but I decided to go with the other one for the challenge. Saying that I do love the colours on this one, which were a mixture of Jenni Bowlin's ink pads and together with a Tim Holtz quote, they just work so well with this particular image. I used K & Company papers on the background, added a tattered banner and adage ticket and finally...last but never least, I made a handmade flower using the Spellbinders Peony Nestabilities.

Well, I'd better go and do some work but before I go, thank you for all your lovely comments on the last card and I can't wait to hear what you think of this one!

Ta~Ta for now and see you soon!

Not often do you see me here on the blog on a Saturday...but as soon as I saw the Grungy Monday challenge 08 over on the Studio L3 blog, I just knew I had to have a go!!

And this is my entry...I hope you like it!

I used the Agapanthus Cluster stamp from Stampendous, together with Jenni Bowlin ink pads to create the watercolour effect. I then flicked paint over the background, used Distress Ink around the edge and finally stamped Tim's quote.

I used some corrugated Kraft card for my card blank and covered the front with some designer papers from my crafty stash, distressing the edges for an aged look. As the finishing touch, I added some rosettes and a tattered banner, together with one of Tim's Adage Tickets!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment...I love reading them all and you really do make me laugh and smile with your kind words!! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, so far and I'll see you next week!
