As some of you heard by wails and crying last week - my cuttlebug shot into pieces on the last Friday - although I have manage to replace it but how long before it arrive - who knows ????

Managing without is weird  - I have really had to rethink myself - I have  rummaged around looking for thing to replace my dies.  

My Image is called 'Nose to Nose' and coloured with Copics

The papers are from my 'bit box' and I used a Martha Stesart for the border punch, the leave is a ancient Woodware punch and the crotcheted flower my freind Moni has sent me and I added a pearl brad and metal charm.

I had the lace border and plaited some narrow ribbon to attached to the sentient.

Basic Grey is Anything Goes

I hope you all enjoyed your Bold and Bright at Basic Grey challenge last time we have an easy one for you

ANYTHING GOES!!!

The images are all Magnolia's Say Little Butterfly and Open Gate - the Sealed Love Letter
These are all coloured with  Copics and used the gorgeous Porcelaine Basic Grey . 
I haven't used this image before - I really think this Tilda need pink - I'm not good with Pink so I have been I plucking up courage to use it - I'm pretty pleased the results!!!
I have cut a Spellbinders Circles and inserted the image on the inside of the card.
I have used Magnolia's Swirl and Leaf
The bow is attached to Net Crinoline which I died with Victorian Velvet DistressInk and added a Pearl brad from American Crafts.
The flowers are mostly all Prima Flowers and I added a feather.
On the inner of the card I have added a Doily, lace and a butterfly.

Shaz, Margreet and a returning GDTDonna H.

This is my 2nd attempt at produced a card - my 1st attempt was helped by Chester - I do like popping little mousy's little feet prints across the card,  but great big paw prints it - NO!!! 

No1  having filed in the bin - No2 started - I used this image 'Close Knit Friendship', as the previous one was very time consuming, I kept this one CAS.

The images was coloured with Copics and the papers are from Donna at Bearly Mine image from Vol III

The embossed panel is cuttlesbug's 'Seeing Spots' and I use a Spellbinders 'Ribbon tags' and attached a few strands of wool. 

I was asked (name unknown save me incriminating myself) - why haven't I knitted a little wool!!!

Isn't sewing card enough with out knitting as well  for goodness sake???

Anyway I have no  knitting needles - I sent them to Africa for the couple of sheep I bought for friends in a village. Having to buy  the sheep entailed catching them oneself - but that was another story tee-hee - happy memories!!!

A simple inside as per usual.
