Summer Field

Happy Friday. Yesterday was my Birthday it was very different but a nice day was had.

Granddaughter and I were up early baking chocolate cup cakes to be honest we are running a little short on home baking bits so that was really all we could muster, they were indeed very scrummy though! In the afternoon Daughter popped round for a surprise visit we sat in the garden 2 metres apart but then it started raining , Katie sheltered under a tree on a chair and we popped into the conservatory so we could carry on chatting, I am sure we will laugh about this in times to come.

Anyways I did manage a few hours in my craft room and I had seen a challenge on Country View Challenges that I love the sound of  "Summer Fields"

So here we go my card with that theme in mind

 I used Studio Light Paper pad , I love this one I only have 5 pages left ((eeeks!!))

I doodled around the edge with a black fine micron pen.

To start of I used Inkwell Stamps Meadow Row

I have had this a good few years now , I always suddenly remember it and dig it out

I also used a Sunflower Stamp Set this is also very old , I am not sure who made it but I have hunted high and low and can't see it anywhere, but saying that there really are some lovely Sunflower Stamps out there I might even treat myself!

To colour up I used

Inktense Water Colours

&

Alcohol Markers

I also used a few stamp sets that were freebie's from my magazines

Wild Flowers

The Country of an Edwardian Lady (Bee)

Layered Peonies (Sentiment)

I used some Glossy Accents on the Bee's wings along with a sprinkling of glitter.

Layering some pieces up so they popped of the page

I also used a few elements from MJM Design Studios - I have a few of Michelle's collection I love them and they are very handy to make either complete projects or to use parts with other things in your stash

Claudes Garden

Fall into Autumn

I finished of using Distress Oxide to dust round and a white marker for some detail

Thank you so much for stopping by

Happy Tuesday , Hope you all had a good weekend

it was bank holiday here in the Uk

We were certainly spoilt by the weather, The sun sure did have his hat on

Yesterday I made a Baby card

How cute is this Decoupage sheet.

The card was cut on my portrait, I used Linen card

I also made a matching box

The sentiment is a freebie stamp I think, I subscribe to a monthly magazine and more often than not I store the freebie stamps in a box , I always rummage through if Im looking for sentiments etc and can normally find what I am looking for ~ I used Memento Ink Toffee Cruch

The Ribbon of course is from Crafty Ribbons

and I have used the 3mm Satin Ribbon in White

I use this Ribbon so much and it comes in tons of delish colours.

Thank you for looking

I have family round later for dinner but managed to nip in a card

I started it last night and finished off this morning

This is my first ever Diorama card and it will definatly not be my last

I loved it from start to finish

I tried one once before the instructions were useless nothing fitted it put me off

but I am glad I re- tried with a different kit

This one is called Summer at the beach it is a A4 booklet with enough in to make 12 cards!

It's pretty difficult to get good photo's but a lot of it is decoupaged up

So clever how it lies flat for posting

(excuse the pink nail varnish)
