Going Dotty

Got a bit of Easter fun to share today guys with some of Crafty Ribbons Sheer Puff Dots !!

Gone rather dotty with it as you can see........my girly sheep are just made using punches and a bit of embossing, hand cut the grass and used a small punch for the flowers. Stamped the "Happy Day" borders and added some more white gel pen dots to the papers.

I did laugh when I saw the photos as the sheep,  remind me of the days when factory girls rolled up their hair in rollers, wrapped a scarf round, then went to work to they would be ready for a night on the town !!

Feature a Creature

is this months fun challenge over at Penny Black and More and for my card I have used this cute little guy !!

He is from a T is for Transparent set called "Every Which Way" and I have turned him on his side because he is having so much fun chasing his birthday balloons !!

I had fun to making my inky cloud sky and drawing my grass as well as a bit of masking and faux stitching !!

Ribbons and Bows

Well a lovely sunny be it snowy morning here !!  The poor daffs don't know what hit them over the weekend and are now looking a bit down !!

So how about a bit of mousey fun with our House Mouse and Friends challenge "Ribbons and or Bows "

 My card is a very simple one for me, but didn't think it needed anything else.

 The Stampendous HMD stamp is called "Dragonfly Skateboard" and I think it would work for boys or girls. I've colour in with a mixture of copics and promarkers and just embossed the layers behind with two different sized bubbles.

A bit of Vintage

Now I love vintage and I love loads of layers and boy this layout has it all !!

 The photo is of my dads mum, my dad and one of his brothers (with cane). I've used some of the Vintage Butterflies ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I have used loads of die cuts and punched shapes which I have embossed either in gold or silver, real chain, charms, stamps, frantage.....

Whatever I could think of that gives it a vintage feel, torn and distressed papers, buttons, cut out words, distress inks..........

And my fab Prima doll male stamp, paper piecing bother !!

If you would like to check out the fab Vintage Butterfles ribbons you can find them HERE. Also check out the Crafty Ribbons FB page HERE
