Good Grief!

I haven’t put up a post for such a long time! Talk about slack!

In my defence, now that Winter is upon us, it is pretty chilly in my craft cave so I don’t spend very much time in here.

Having said that though, I have been pottering a wee bit here and there. Making a few cards, a couple of layouts and some atc’s and tags for swaps.

Scrapbox NZ Challenge – Black and white only

Scrapbook Dreams June Challenge.

So, you see, I have been doing something after all. I also made my sister-in-laws wedding invitations/RSVPs which I was really happy with.

Tuesday Trigger – Poolside Inspiration

The Tuesday trigger at Moxie Fab World was not so inspiring for me, as we head into the winter months in NZ.

However, as I am home from work with a bad cold and no voice, I sat down with my supplies and came up with this card.

I used my new “Angel” from Bombshell Stamps, water colour pencils, digital patterned paper and a rub-on, mounted on a gold card base.  The dive mask, snorkel and the Hibiscus in her hair are part of a Silhouette America cutting file (C0021), resized to fit. The elements are all edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
