Fall

A strange sort of day..a day I felt like taking some time out. But perhaps is's because I only had about 4 hours sleep last night, I was up at 5.03am to watch the F1 qualifying and WOW!! it was amazing - a very messy qualies indeed, but we have a good grid for the race tomorrow.

So here I am another card forward. I will be off to my bed shortly as up again at 5 in the morning for the race.
This card is for 365 Cards day 217 - 'Stampin' Saturday'
The card had to have stamping the same colour as the card.
This was a similar challenge to the one I did for making my own background but certainly didn't pressure myself to do that again, so I chose this nice tan cardstock from my stash and used Versamark on a lovely leaf stamp from QVC and it gives a great watermark effect, so I think this meets with the criteria.
The tree is a free download but I can't find the designer, sorry.
I saw someone had knotted ribbon some time ago and filed it in my brain and today it popped out for me...it's nice when my brain's filing system works.
Finally I used some square sticky letters to spell 'Fall' but cut them so they looked like leaves...hopefully. These alpha stickers too are very old from QVC.
Job done !

Cousins.....

Well this has taken me all afternoon...phew!! why do I get so in a mess doing LO's. My bedroom looks like a battleground and goodness knows where I will sleep tonight LOL!! The cats have been demoted to the garden.
Well as you know this is my 3rd LO and is courtesy of the forum challenge which gives a set LO map each week. I think I'm missing one though.
The card is Bazzill, the paper is HOTP 20228 'Light Blue Flowers On Blue' , the chipboard letters are QVC but I got them off eBay for peanuts.
All other embellishments from my stash.

My First Tilda

After a wonderful stamped image swap on the forum, I just had to make my first Tilda card.
I do love these images they are so cute, but have yet to buy any myself. I have enough stamps to start a shop of my own, and so many as yet unused I cannot justify buying any more.
I watercoloured her and added Stickles Icicle to her wings.
The card blank is ages old from a Dawn Bibby pack on QVC.
The 'bloom' was cut using a Sissex die in my 'Bug' along with the embossed swirl card done in the 'Bug' too.
Flowers and gems from my stash.
