Simply Stampin' - Challenge #4.

By
This week's challenge at Simply Stampin' is a sketch
And here is my card

I sponged a background directly on to the card blank using Bashful Blue and Certain Celery ink. I made a mask for the sun using a post it note cut in to a circle. I then added a piece of Very Vanilla ribbon which I knotted at the end. The main image is again sponged with Bashful Blue and Certain Celery and the the large image from Just Believe has been stamped in Old Olive. I then used Old Olive to sponge around all the edges. The small flowers are punched out of Night of Navy and Bashful Blue card stock using the Boho Blossoms punch - I added a little bling to the centers of each one. I then added the sentiment in the corner.
Did everyone enjoy their Easter break and the glorious sunny weather? It's a bit overcast here today but I shall still have to water my garden - I don't think I have ever had to water so much in April before!! I bought a gorgeous new, red Peony at the end of last year and this is the first time I shall see the flowers IRL - they are my favourite flowers so I am very excited and I keep stroking it and talking nicely to it! Hee hee - I'm not really mad honest! - See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    What a lovely idea to put a focal image on top of your sponged and stamped scene! I think mother nature is getting a bit confused - this is summer isn't it? Expect winter in July!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
