Happy Father's Day

Good morning to you all

Wow what a lovely day it was yesterday, hope you all had some of that yellow stuff like we did.  However on Saturday with all that wet stuff, I had a chance to play, so made this little number to add to my Father's Day card collection.

The base layer and contrast is a deep green, I used some papers that I got from Grimsby Crafts and then one of the images from the Hobby House Art Colouring Book Elisabeth Bell - Summer Daze.  The ribbon and rhinestones are from the Hobby House also and the sentiment one of the best Father's Day ones and I love this set is by Wild Rose Studio.

Here is the image coloured in copics, oh and just wanted to say thank you to Vicky my WRS DT buddie for guiding me in the direction of pierced die.

Love how it frames the image with all those tiny stitch marks. I got mine from My Mum's Craft Shop as my normal shop was out of stock.

Anyway a quick hello to my new followers, an apology for my MIA with my comments to all my lovely visitors as I have not managed to get back to visit you all over the last few days, but normal service will resume now :)

Kenny K meets bling

Good morning to you all

Today I am showcasing another of my cards using those fabulous new toppers from the 

Hobby House

for our current challenge of

Anything Goes 

Using a New Topper

I made another generic card, the papers and components similar to my last as this was a set of three and the other card I will show you soon.  The base colour and contrast is a deep burgundy and I topped this with some lovely olive green and plum digital papers and a pretty doily.  I cut out  the topper added lots of those gorgeous rhinestones to the dots on the paper and added some stickles along with some roses, little pearls, all of which can be found on the website via the link on my side bar.  

As always I would like to thank all of my wonderful visitors and followers for their inspiring comments, which encourage me and allow me to hop over in return to see their gorgeous work and welcome my new followers.

Button Organiser

Good morning to you all

Today I am sharing with you my inspirational piece for the current

Button Challenge

at the 

Hobby House

So here you go

 I made this using a silhouette cameo online template and it was such fun to do.

There are six compartments to hold different colours or styles of buttons, but I suppose you could use this for other things too.

I used white hammered card, some gorgeous burgundy satin ribbon, those lovely pearl and gold coloured brads and the little plum coloured mulberry roses, all from the store.  The link is in my side bar for you.

We would love for you to hop over and enter the challenge and don't forget to hop over to the shop and see all those gorgeous new releases too.

Buttons

I made a B letter and decorated with the neutral buttons, the template for the B is from the online silhouette store and I used my silhouette cameo to cut it for me.  It started of white and I distressed it with TH walnut stain before adding all those different buttons all available in the store.  I added some ribbon pearl strings, lace and of course those roses to finish off the look.  The link to all those products is in my side bar, but grab a coffee first as the shop is so full of gorgeous embellies and products you could be there a while.
