I know...... ......not easy is it! I have 'stuff' everywhere atm. I will do before and after pics if I  remember....and if it turns out ok lol.
Forgot to mention that my talented FC teamie Tae-Eun is guesting over at 'LIM' this week. Do check out her card and blog as she is such an amazing card maker ;)

Hi friends, hope your Sunday is going well so far! I am here with my latest card for the 'Less is More'  challenge once again.   The recipe this time is 'Stripe', I went with a water  coloured card. I painted a few stripes in bright  colours and then added a sentiment in white. A sprinkling of sequins and job done ;)   Enjoy your Sunday, well what's left of it lol, and have a good week next week too.
Now come and take a quick peek at my card ;)

ps. Such a busy week again, sorry I was so late  leaving you all comments. We have been busy helping our son with his new garden. Also we  were having our garage roof re-done, looks so  much better now ;)

Watercolour stripes

Hi friends, I am back again with yet  another card to share with you. I am  determined to make more cards and  enter more challenges this year. So  here is another one ;)       I am really loving my TH watercolour  card as you may have guessed lol. I think  I may just be addicted now.....oh my!       I want to show you some new goodies I bought recently too. I just adored this  lovely striped stamp and just HAD to buy it.      Then I saw this wonky stitched  rectangle die and HAD to have that! The cute little ellie and other little  stamps just jumped into my basket all by themselves!......you know how that can happen sometimes ;)       That's the trouble with blog hopping isn't it.....you see 'stuff'!!!!! I daren't look at anything else now as I spotted more 'stuff' last night I might just  NEED!         Apologies in advance if this has now  made you also NEED more 'stuff'. I am still in love with watercolour, I think I will be doing a lot more this  year.       What has inspired you lately? and what  will you be doing more of this year? I will be studying more photography  techniques too I hope....if I ever get  the time.           Anyway come and have a closer look at my card. Enjoy your day whatever you  have planned. I am off to check my lottery  ticket now........if I disappear...........;)

Petite Paris card

Oooh- la- la.......Here is an other DT card made for 'Beccy's Place' using Beccy's gorgeous digi image  'Petite Paris'. This is such a beautiful image and so intricate too.I am not surprised  it took Beccy ages to draw it all. I went for a shabby chic look this time for a change. I used the coloured version of the digi this time, you also get a black and white image . I printed it out twice and used some parts to decoupage the image.I decoupaged the canopies and the hanging baskets. I 'aged' the edge of the card using TH distress ink ( Antique linen). Computerized sentiment, I went with a french one and used my french stamp set ( Clear choice stamps) for the eiffel tower and the little ticket. I 'aged' the ticket and sentiment also using TH (Antique linen) ink andalso some TH (Worn lipstick). The  striped paper ( Papermania Henbury Lane)was aged  and distressed a bit around the edges. I am  also entering this into a challenge Shelly's Images...... What the text  ps.It's so hot and humid here today, not that I am complaining at least it isn't raining  for a change ......now I just said that Ihear thunder in the distance...oh dear!

Number four Giraffe card

Here is another number card today,
up to 4 now ( very appropriate I thought
 today.....see my ps below! Such a cute image
 again from  the lovely Beccy of course.
It's available HERE, along with the others.
I coloured the image with Promarkers
& Copics and added some lines
 around the edge for interest. I layered
the image ( cut with nesties again) onto
a bit of striped card ( Pink Petticoat
 stripes). Then onto another 'dotty' card
matt. A few gems coloured to match &
a computer generated sentiment
 completed the card.

I have a little announcement tomorrow, but
will keep you guessing for now :)
ps. The new grandbaby may arrive very soon
we think, ...more pains last night. If he arrives
 today he will only get a birthday every four
 years though...it being leap year ! Just want to
 see him now though so who cares lol.

Striped cards

It's week 54 now over at
'Less is More' & it's 'one
layer ' card week and.......
           STRIPES
Just can't get to grips with
the idea of stripes this week,
my mojo has gone...help!!!
However I came up with these
two ideas, not brilliant I know
but will have to do for now.
I used Distress inks for the
stripes on the 1st card and a
Hobby Art flower stamp.I
added a few liquid pearl dots
to the flower also. The second
card was made in GCF playing
around with stripes and wording.
Had that beatles song going
round my head as I made it  lol !

We still have snow about but it's
melting now at last. Keep warm
everyone :)
ps. Some freebies on earlier posts
if you are interested, just background
papers I made this time.
