Paper Flower

Good Morning to you all,

Today sees a new challenge at My Time to Craft and this week the challenge is:

To Use Newspaper or Pages from a Book 

on your project

I used some pages from an old paperback book, punched some flowers and layered them up, edging with Copics, I also used a piece of the page and stamped with a Chocolate Baroque flower stamp and coloured with Copics.  This lovely Molly Bloom image came from Brenda's re-homing of some of her stamps - thank you - and I coloured her with Copics.

Make a Box

Good Morning,

I am a little late with my post for Fab'n'Funky today, I did mean to schedule it last night but I went to bed early as I am not feeling too good I have got a cold and an awful cough which has made my throat so sore that I have almost lost my voice.  Anyway enough of my moaning and back to today's challenge which is brought to us by our lovely teamie Ciska and she has challenged us to:

Card for Brenda's Blogsaversary

Good Afternoon,

It has been snowing very lightly most of the day but the only places where it has really laid are on the surrounding hills and I can see it blowing around there, but I have quite happily stayed indoors today and just watched.

On now to a card I have made for Brenda's Blogsaversary Challenge, Brenda challenges us to make anything you like based on your take on her blog.

Well I love all the Poppies on the blog but only have one Poppy image which I used for her Poppy Challenge a while ago, and I love all the scenes/landscape design cards that Brenda makes so I tried the following.  I put a couple of my cloud die cuts on the card and chalked over them in blue, chalked the bottom in green, then I used a Chocolate Baroque image and lightly coloured the sun.  By no means up to Brenda's standards but well out of my comfort zone.  I used Nestibilites, Marianne and Cheery Lynn dies, Martha Stewart punch, a ribbon, flowers from my stash and a sentiment.
