Fashion

Good Afternoon Peeps,

Lovely last few days with the weather so much cooler and able to get things done.  We had rain yesterday and today so I have been able to do some crafting.
 
I have an ATC for you today made for the challenge at Tag-along and ATC's challenge.


The image I used is from Sheepski I fussy cut her out and coloured parts with Copics and paper pieced her dress. The background paper is by Catherine Pooler and I added some small die cut hearts.

I love this image as it reminds me of the 60’s when we wore underskirts of many layers of net which we washed and starched until they were so stiff they scratched your legs “oh happy days”.
 
Have a cool afternoon!!!

Miss Gnome

Good Afternoon Peeps,

Sunday afternoon, this morning I went to the Sincerely Yours Craft Show at Leigh, it’s a while since I went to one and it wasn’t very big but I managed to get a few things I needed and also a few things that I didn’t need but it was a nice change.

I made a card yesterday so thought I would put it on today.


The image is a Polkadoodles digi and I coloured with Copics, papers are by Honey Bee and from my stash, I added a sentiment and some enamel dots.

Flowers

 Good Afternoon Peeps,
 
Hope everyone is well and having a good start to the week.  It's cloudy here and we have had a few small showers (very welcome), and the temperature has been back to normal for the summer.
 
I have been doing a little crafting and decided to follow this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 



I used a stamp from Pink Ink and coloured with Copics, the papers are from Catherine Pooler and the die-cut flower die is by My Favourite Things.
 
This is the sketch I followed: 

 
Have a good day!

Roses

 Good Morning Peeps,

I hope you are all well.   I had a nice lunch out with a friend yesterday and it was so good to be out in the sunshine I was beginning to think that the three day heatwave we had a few weeks ago was the start and end of summer!!!!! 

Well I have an ATC for you today

 

The paper is by Crafter’s Companion and I added a rose image which I have had for years it is an embossed paper peel off but there is no make on the sheet.  I did some faux stitching around the edge and added some lace and enamel dots.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:
