Just Because card

Hi there friends, I hope your weekend is going well so far ! I am back to share another card for the 'Less is More' challenge again.

It's the dreaded 'one layer' card and their theme is 'Stencils'. I went with  a green and black card, using a new stencil I have just aquired. Hope you like it, enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned ;)

Oh and if you want a smile today (and haven't seen it on my Instagram page aready) ...scroll down to the bottom!

ps. Kitchen report... end of week one.Three misshaps...more about those soon! The new kitchen is coming along nicely though, lots of dust/plaster about still but it's all getting done.

Paint next, then our units go in, bit of plumbing needs doing to tidy stuff up behind the sink first. I keep going into the kitchen forgetting there is nothing there lol. My OH went to put the food shopping away there too today.... he he. Not just me then.... more soon!

Hello card

Hi there, how is your weekend going so far? we had a few snow flurries but it's not hanging around this time I am pleased to say. Sooo cold though brrr!

I am here to share my latest card for the 'Less is More' challenge once again and this time it's the dreaded 'One layer card' and 'Stencils'. I do have quite a few stencils luckily,... not that that helped me though lol. After a while I came up with this idea, hope you all approve ;)

Believe it or not I did my stencilling quite carefully,  a diamond pattern....then I just decided it needed to be much more 'loose'...so I added more water and softened it. I then added a sweet daisy.....I do like a nice flower as you probably know already lol. Do come and have a quick peek and see what you think...I am happy with it anyway ;)

Of course, as always..... enjoy your week whatever you have planned ;)

Hi friends, stopping by to share another 'Less is More' challenge card. The  theme is 'Use a Stencil' this week. See the usual ps. bit for a piglet story  too!     For my second card I used my TCW  stencil and pinched some paste my OH had made. I mixed a bit of alcohol ink with it and pasted it on the stencil.

I then used a few drops of  3 colours of alcohol inks on top of the paste. When  that was dry I sprayed some silver  ink over it all.

I edged the topper with a silver pen, then added a stamped sentiment and  a few sequins. I stamped the butterfly, gave that a quick silver spray too, then gave it the same alcohol ink treatment also. A tiny bit of sparkle was added  later to the wings.


Phew job done!, I hope you like it,  the colours are very bright irl ;)


ps. on our way to our usual walk this  morning we came accross a tiny piglet walking along the main road. So hard  to catch the little thing, much squealing too.    We managed it in the end, after  holding all the traffic up for a while. We took it to a local farm we know  (as no pigs around alas), they phoned another farmer who was coming to get  it. 
No idea how it had escaped etc.It went to  sleep being cuddled, must have known we  were vegetarians lol. It was put in a small  dog cage waiting to be reunited with it's  mummy. So a happy ending ;)

Love you card

Here is a card I made for the 'Virginia’s View Challenge'.

We have to use a stencil this time, here’s what I came up with.

I used the negative of an old Provo craft die cut as a stencil and some

TH distress inks to colour it. A few spots of colour and also the hearts

 die from the same set.

A piece of twine and a couple of Doodlebug sprinkles and a gem and

 it was complete.
